Hi Everyone,
Great source of info for a new FR-S owner. Just Tracked down a hard to find Firestorm Red Manual in SoCal. It's my first stick, first sports car, first personally purchased, and financed car. Probably will baby it forever!

The buying experience wasn't the greatest. Wouldn't think there'd be that much haggling for a pure priced scion. The dealer wouldn't let me have the car if I didn't get an extended warranty, GAP insurance, Permanent plate, lojack, extended maintenance or whatever Else they can try to sucker me in on. Claiming that they don't make any money off this car, and due to the demand, if I didn't take any of the extras they wanted to throw in, they wont sell me the car. Because the next sucker who comes in for an FRS will surely take them up on the crap they want to tack on if I don't. Ended up standing my ground and saying no to anything but the extended warranty for 125k miles.

After several hours and staying past 8:30pm on a Sunday. We made a deal...

Not once did they mention the scion boost program while they were trying to sell me the prepaid maintenance program they dreamt up.

Long fought battle but it was worth it to have a new FR-eSh in the driveway.
