Part of the problem here is that it's not always easy to find these cars in some parts of the country, Florida being one of them. This has come up more than once here where people were looking for months in Florida without being able to find one, and when they finally did, the prices of what they found were considerably higher than in areas where they are more commonplace. The dealer could get that price pretty easily, especially with it being a special edition.
If it were me, I would sell the other vehicle outright rather than trading, then negotiate for the FR-S entirely on price to get a better deal. Or get a credit union car loan for cheap as a bridge loan, negotiate for the FR-S entirely on price, then sell the old vehicle outright and use the funds to pay down the note. OP will probably get more in the used market than as a trade for the vehicle he has, and he'll get a better price on the car if he doesn't give the salesman the opportunity to start playing shell games with trade value and/or financing. And considering how cheap the credit unions are financing cars these days, he'd probably only spend a few extra dollars on interest before the old car sold.
