Dealerships to AVOID in the SE
Let's start a list of the dealers to AVOID. Follow the format below if possible:

Dealership Name: Kieth Pierson Toyota/Scion
State: Florida
City: Jacksonville
Brand: Scion
Salesman to talk to: Ralph (Assistant Sales Manager)
Reference desired:
Allocation left? If so, how many as far as you know: Two, one silver, one black.

Details of your experience with the dealership: I'm pretty interested in getting a Scion FRS, but I had a very negative experience with the above dealership. They have two FR-S's, manuals, one in silver the other in black. I want the black one, and the kieth pierson website advertises their black on for about 26,300.

Until you go to the dealership. Then you see a 5,000 dollar "ADM" fee. Advanced Market Value. Because the car is "rare". And this is on top of an inflated MSRP of 27,200 dollars. Needless to say I told them to drop it down to 26 or they won't get my business. Of course they couldn't do it, so I told them I'll be contacting scion customer service.
