2015 BRZ series blue for 26k listed? - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

spicyricecake · 12-05-2014, 05:38 PM

Small update guys:

I emailed a bunch of dealerships last night asking for a price for other trims (2015 limited, 2014 limited used, 2013 limited used with 10k+ miles)

and I'm not getting anywhere near a price that would justify purchasing these over the series blue offer.

For example, a salesman offered 25,800 plus tax tag and title for a 2014 used brz with 2k miles on it.
For $200 more I could get the series blue instead which only has 2k miles more...

I'm feeling a little defeated as to getting a better deal on these cars.

The guy I spoke to about the series blue deal told me he cannot go any lower than 26k on the vehicle.

Do you guys think this guy is just pushing the price on me, or what?

25800 on used? They're ducking crazy. You can go to Heuberger motors and get a brand new one for 25600 + all the fees and then drop $600-1000 on shipping and have a new car. Idk man your Florida dealers are a bunch of tool bags.

Pricing is regional. BRZ's and FR-S's here in the midwest are much more negotiable once snow starts falling. A small impractical RWD car with summer tires just does not sell well in the winter when everyone wants AWD vehicles.

OP, if you can look outside your state it will help, otherwise your best would be something like Ebay motors, or classifieds from a private seller.

Also, don't give up. It is the first of the month and the end of the year. Dealers may be willing to move more on price towards the end of the month to get a bonus.

Yeah some of these guys offer some crazy prices.
Maybe email negotiation is not the best approach, but seeing as how I have to travel to any of the dealers I spoke to, email is my best bet.

What do you think about the 26k for the series blue with 4k miles?

Yep, Florida rarely has snow so this car is selling like hot cakes i suppose. Although a two BRZs have been sitting in the lot at my local dealer for the past 4+ months, so maybe not.

What's the best way to get a dealershipt to go down a tiny bit more on a price? I'm honestly willing to take 27k OTD (24k selling price) for the series blue, but the dealer says:

"I would just love to tell you yes but I have just spoken to him and he has told me he is all in so unfortunately we will have to turn down you offer. He just hasn't got any money left to give you. I am really sorry."

He seems like a nice guy, but in the end they are all car salesmen...

A little update guys:

I ended up purchasing the 2015 Series blue. it was in perfect condition except for a small imperfection on the front bumper towards the right, and it was missing cup holders.
(does anyone know where I can buy some online btw?)

I drove it home, stalled a few times, took her out for a drive again the next day to really learn manual and get used to the car. My dad really helped out a lot on this whole process and I can drive to work without worrying about dying or getting in an accident xD

I've gotten so many compliments on the car already, and I really love driving her. I did notice that the throttle is super sensitive though.

I've attached a few pics of Idunna, my new baby

Congratulations! Looks nice

...

And don't worry about how much you paid or if you could have got it cheaper. At the end of the day, if you love your car and you are happy with it, that is all that matters...

What he said, figure out what it's worth to you and find someone that will sell it for that price. If you can get it cheaper that's great but in the end don't worry too much about if you could have shaved another 100 off the price. Just enjoy your car knowing that it was worth every penny.
