I was confused as to how it can come with leather seats because I thought there was no option for them in the Scion FR-S. They told me that due to the limited supply they will be selling their FR-S inventory with either upgraded wheels or leather. Does anyone have any idea what these seats look like? Are they like the BRZ seats? Anyways, I told them that I would prefer leather seats. They are asking for $27,656 before taxes and license fees. Do you guys think it is worth dropping an extra $2,500 for the seats? Or does all this seem fishy?
Is this dealer Carson scion/toyota by any chance. They are not the leather seats from the BRZ. Only the BRZ will have leather in the US (Unless Scion gets of their ass and starts offering options). They most likely had a third party install them. If you really want it I'd say shop around and see if you can get it done for cheaper. There's also a dealer on this site who can import Jdm parts, but I'm not sure if they can do seats just yet. I personally don't like when dealers force you to get stuff you don't want or didn't ask for and I don't like options that aren't from the factory. But thats just me.
