For a 25k car it sure is hard to find for less than 28k, I was going to ask Scion why I was unable to obtain the car as advertised ($24,955) but received the answer that "dealers feel it is within their rights to not take orders and add options as they please to increase profit margins" so I'll pass on asking them anything. This'll be my last post (barring a quality question that comes to mind) so I'll stop the clutter, I needed the rant. Feel free to PM me if you want more details or to know how I feel.
Thanks ichitaka for setting this up!

Yes, I wholeheartedly disagree on dealers adding/forcing options on you. Especially on a Scion. Fortunately, the dealers around here are selling them at MSRP and are not adding options for the most part. So I think it's just a matter of you finding a reputable dealer who can get you what you want. Or try the Subaru if you are willing to spend another grand and don't mind the styling/handling differences. There are even ways to get discounts on Subarus vs Scions so you might be able to get it down to the price of the FR-S eventually.
