Ugh these kinda posts make me depressed.
I mean, I know markups happen, especially with hype like this, but I thought I'd bury my head in the sand and hope that this wouldn't happen.
I don't need this car. And I don't want the car because its exclusive. I just want it because it looks fun. Markups aren't fun.
So when I see posts like this I take a look at the Mustang GT which per truecar, I could possibly get for the same price for the MSRP of the FRS, which to some is about as fun of a car, and definately faster. Not to mention the tens of other alternatives; new and used.
So money grubbing dealers, marking up cars as a slap in the face to buyers and Scion; who won't see a dime from the adjustment, remember: the internet with its ever reaching hands through twitter and Facebook and forums like these have your number.
You might find a moron or two with too much money or too little sense to play your game, but is that the business you really want to be in?
I hope when I contact my dealers in a month or two to purchase a FRS that it will be for at most MSRP; a fair price for all involved. To have our part to strengthen not only the Scion brand but also show other car companies that a car like the FRS can exist and to show how selling cars can be done.
If the no-haggle no-hassle becomes too much of a hassle, as much as I love the idea of the car, there are plenty of other faster and arguably more fun, fish in the sea.

Sorry for all the histrionics, I've been watching to much Game of Thrones lately.
