First time FR-S buyer looking for advice!

You can almost pick a choose what you want from the dealers around here. They have so many 14s left they are willing to do almost what ever it takes to sell you one!

Scion dealers don't trade cars? Mine does. If you have a dealership that's unwilling to get you the car you want, go somewhere else.

Yeah...one of my two local dealers has three right now, two 14s, both Monograms in white and silver, and a 13 10 series leftover.

Well not all, but I've had my local dealer(s) looking for the car 13/14 base Mt black/white/asphalt and no avail, silver, silver and more silver as I stated in my original post

[Shark_Bait88]

To give you an idea, I paid $23.5k OTD for a '13 MT Firestorm FR-S w/ 4,100 miles on it back in June. I probably could have talked the dealer down a little bit more, but I got a decent enough deal; especially considering the pricing of some of the other used ones out here.

I got the 2015 halo brand new off the truck, looking at 272/mo but they want my fit as stipulation. @0@

If you were closer and interested in red I'd help you out haha.

After youre test drive if you hear some noise in the engine bay, like crickets dont buy it.

This, if they want your business, they will get you the car.

Why's this a bad thing? The car I tested was fine but we didn't see eye to eye, so I'm taking my business to longo after all

Unless I find something that I can't refuse of course

But - I like the base model just as much in terms of looks, and I'm just going to put lowering springs and a rear spoiler on the car and call It a day

mos def. i just didn't want all TRD and all. That's why i got base to mod myself.

I could get either, only issue is my stipulation, they won't let me have two auto loans, I'm just trying to help out my roommate, only other alternative is a cosigner but I don't really know anyone with 700 + credit and income like myself.

I won't give up, though I wouldn't mind advice as to getting out of a loan on a car, I'm not primary owner on the title, there's a 5000 some odd balance left on the fit, I make the payments and Insurance and I drive it daily but I'm co-owner. Is there anyway the cosigner could take me off of ownership without refinancing the vehicle? I really want to be in one of these guys help me out :P (cosigner is completely fine with my decision and is giving me 10000 for the car but he's still paying the balance on the car which I still have the stipulation regardless .)


UPDATE: Going to have my roommate apply for an auto loan, as he's going to buy the fit from me, going to take the money I have now and pay it off and use the auto loan he gets to PUT down towards an FRS

nice -- one suggestion. i just cleaned up my credit and have an average score. i can't believe what the finance departments at dealerships try and get you for --- so I got a referral to a credit union.. signed up. and WOW! best thing ever. super low APR and you can refinance =)

Yeah for sure, I bank with a credit union and I have no issue, my RS 1.0 will be at the dealership between the 20 - 22nd of September, it just got built today and could come in earlier, I'll keep you guys updated!
