Lol I wasnt going to fall for that crap. The salesman was going on about how much better it would be than the brz and that toyota makes better cars than subaru. I hate shady dealers...

Guys Scions are SUPPOSED to come mono-spec, but the cars for the first shipments are coming with things pre-installed. Rear appliqués, wheel locks, trunk mats, exhausts, stereo upgrades, etc. Your mileage may vary, but almost every car in the Bay Area has some options pre-added already.

Which dealership was this? You should hit up TJ at One Toyota in Oakland. I think he still has a white MT up for grabs that should be at the docks this week.

What exhausts are pre installed? If they have one as a option would like to know.

If you tell them your gonna walk over 130$ trunk mat i bet they yank that out ASAP. I would be saying that if i wasn't getting it for free.

Love it when they make up stuff about a car and little do they know that you are in fact more knowledgable about it than they are. So you have the power to either call their BS or sit there and laugh in their stupidity.

I'm pretty sure they wont run after you if you try to walk. They would just move on to the next person.

You'd be surprised man if they can get you and the next person in line they'll make the deal work with in reason. Especially something that can be pulled out of a car and put in stock for latter down the road.

Trunk mats, wheel lock, mud laps ect.... Anything that cheap is almost nothing on a 24K+ car. All that stuff goes to is accessories/Parts sales not to the dealers total car sales. Trust me they'd much rather have a car sold then a trunk mat.

I get the idea..I'm just curious if anyone has tried and has something to share. If there is stuff I don't really need that is pre-install I'll tell them to take if off otherwise I'll drop my purchase if I have to pay for it, since getting this car is no biggie for me.

I've bought a lot of cars from a lot of dealers over the years, none of this is new guys.

If you are buying from inventory (which is what you are all talking about) they are going to throw stuff on them to jack up the price.

I've walked around several Toyota/Scion dealer lots in my area, and there is not a single inventory car, especially Scions, that is pure MSRP/Stock.

I'd be really surprised if the BRZ is any different. If there is an add-on that they can make money on, the manufacturer/dealer is going to throw at least some of it on every car.

In my experience, if you want a pure base car, you have to place an order for a specific car and wait for it to be built and delivered to the dealer.

Just my experience, YMMV.

Same here -- for $95 bucks I figure it's no big deal, and per this thread, it actually looks like a pretty nice mat:
