I'll tell ya, going to e85 and back to 93 is depressing, the exhaust sounds different, and the power isnt there as much. I miss it already but have to go to St Louis this weekend and the first half of the trip there really isn't any e85 stations on the highway :'-(

Hello, all. I am looking to buy an FR-S in the DFW area and don't want the old dealer runaround. Does anyone have a recommended specific dealer/salesperson reference?

I didn't buy from Pat Lobb, but get my service done there. I do know a couple of the salesmen there, and I would probably buy from them.

Toyota of Richardson. Their sales department is pretty nice and I'd recommend buying from them. However, I do NOT recommend getting any kind of service done from them.

Thanks, guys! I have Toyota of Grapevine and Freeman nearby. Both seemed overly aggressive. However, I do understand they are trying to make a sale. Anyone had luck getting more than needed on their trade? I'm unfortunately upside down.

Avoid Toyota of Grapevine THEY SUCK!!

Their service department is the worst Toyota service department I have ever been too.

Hell even Park Place Lexus next door will tell you to avoid them and go to another Toyota dealership.
