I don't know where you are seeing that, I see almost no info for the FR-S except MSRP and what others are paying on that site? TrueCar is a scam anyway(look it up).
The dealer invoice according to everybody else on the net is $23720 after $730 destination fee. Some regions have a slightly higher fee($780 for example). But using the standard fee of $730 and the MSRP(before regional adjustment) is $24930. That is $1210 exactly.
If the MSRP on a bone stock manual FR-S is slightly higher, it's because of the area you live and a slightly higher destination fee. We're talking less than a $100 difference though. Anything more is dealer added BS.
Scion also has no "dealer holdback"...supposedly. Normally a 2-3% kickback that is the sole reason any of us ever get cars slightly over invoice in the first place, let alone below invoice when they have to clear out last years models. On a $25k vehicle that is $500-$750 additional negotiating dollars that we no longer have access to as a buyer. However, it still means you're paying $450-$700+ over invoice once the absent holdback has been factored in.
