4 years ago, I got my FRS by making friends with a small local used car guy. He searched auctions for "as is" BRZ/FRS/86's. We found mine in Texas for $6k. It was a repo with an open recall on the valve springs but it actually ran just fine. With shipping, auction fee, and $500 to my guy I had $7500 in it.

That is EXACTLY the sort of scenario I have been saying.
Checking the private sales market is another option. I sold my FRS for a very reasonable price since it was high mileage and had a few small battle scars. The new owner got a decent and fully intact car for far less than they would have if buying retail from even the shadiest used car dealer.
They can be had with some looking.
