tehwegz, you've shown what I've said from the beginning: Pure Pricing is a popular myth with policy changes allowed at the discretion of regional management. That started almost a year ago, so your timing is excellent.
At this point, TMS looks the other way should dealers discount Scions. No dealer has ever had their Scion franchise terminated. OTOH, many dealers voluntarily terminated the franchise over the past two years.
Pure Pricing does sound good on paper for both customer and dealer considering the thin margins on Scion to begin with, but that became it's double-edged sword. It's hard to make a living selling small volume, low grossing cars in a marketplace accustomed to haggling over big ticket items so sales staff instead focused on the higher gross and volume bread and butter Toyotas.
Dealership management likes repeating the myth to their sales staff, though. It makes it easier for sales peeps to justify grinding customers for higher gross profits before they search the 'net and discover deals like yours.
This time of year some dealers are refusing FR-S's on allocations so chances are you could spec your car exactly as desired from port stock and without port installed options.
