If you can get a 26k base model out the door,,you are lucky in my area.
Always amuses me too, I stopped going into the BRZ forum primarily because of the monthly "New BRZ $26k-$28k OTD, am I getting ripped off?"

lol buddy, there's hundreds, if not thousands that paid $32k+ for that exact same car. Some even shelled out >$40k for an FR-S.

Bay Area, LA, NY, all the dealers know that there's enough money flying around for them to add $1,600 clear bras (that don't even cover the whole hood) and other garbage options (ebay 'leather' seat covers, $600 nav headunit marked up to $3k) and hold firm because someone will buy it eventually. Net result? A few hundred California cars were 'imported' from Colorado, PNW, Arizona/Nevada, etc.

I was OK when my FR-S rang up $27.8k OTD, if the dealership had gotten me the car two weeks earlier I would have saved another $500. Took me 4 months to find someone willing to sell me the damn car at MSRP, pure price my ass.
