Doesn't Scion have that "one" price thing? So you get the car at one price. So wouldn't a group buy not fly with their sales philosophy? I'm not familiar with Scion at all so can't really say, but I know that there are a few Scion owners here so maybe they can answer.

yeah i doubt Scion will be doing a group buy to get a lower price... Scion has "Pure Pricing" like stated above.... you pay what the car is advertised for...

[stlgrym3]

maybe not group-buys for Scion but when can we put deposit down and how many each dealer gonna get? will it be like Subaru only 1, 2 per dealer during the initial launch?

I put my deposit in at Longo Scion a couple weeks ago. Salesman was Jeff Chang, good guy! Done through email but he keeps me updated with any news he hears.

i went to Longo Scion, walking distance from home. the sales guy there told me they have accepted 15 deposits so far. no options on the car, you can only choose colors and transmission types. i have second thoughts on this car because i just realized the car is barely larger than a Miata, i honestly thought it'd be bigger from all the pictures i've seen so far.

I put a deposit down in person with Longo in the first week of January. Spoke to Dave Gentry and Jeff both good guys. At the time, Longo was the only dealer in So Cal (South LA county and the OC) who knew about the FR-S. I called or visited most of the Scion dealers in that area and they were clueless. Longo also had the Hollywood FR-S debut on their website. I was the 11th deposit. Longo is a Giant dealership and I figure they would be one of the first to get a large delivery of the FR-S and I would have a better chance of getting one.

no thats completely wrong!! thats what I thought about the whole size of a Miata....When I went to go look at the BRZ on Wed...the car was a pretty good size!! honestly the size almost looks like Genesis Coupe there's way way way more room in the BRZ/FRS then a miata...

Eww Pasadena is a rippoff center. I doubt you'd get a good deal from them. They like to sell past 5k-10k of accessories if its a hot seller item. Just warning you first.

But I am not sure about how they handle their Scion side. But I really dislike that store. And they been to known to have bad customer relations and try to hide fees.

Last weekend, North Hollywood Scion told me they thought the car might be coming in around August or September. And they didn't seem to care much one way or the other.

Damn lol I thought the pure price would just have everything the same where would u recommend preordering the car?

[statuskuo]

from my understanding I thought the scion pure price was true for accessories and options and etc. :$ is it done at a dealership level or nation-wide set by Scion?
