Biggest markup you've found thread!

[Cruzer214]

Just came back from Burlington Toyota that has 5 unsold frs's coming in and they told me they are adding 7 grand to the price! I told them I'm outta here, what a joke. I did a online chat wi scion themselves about their practices and they basically blew me off like o well. No frs for me!

Okay thanks, I checked on the Kansas area webpages I had previously looked at, and they don't have that clause.

However, its clearly advertised as 24,9xx on the dealer website. That may be grounds for a call to corporate to let them know this dealership is not playing exactly by the pure pricing rules. Might be worth a shot.

Exactly, for those who truly want this car.. ideal buy time will probably be march or april of next year.

If my dealership tried to do that to me, I'd have a hard time not hurdling the desk.

Honestly, that's a slap in the face.

For well under the cost of that mark up, you could fly across the country to a dealer who will sell you the car at MSRP and then drive it home.
Don't pay any mark up. Find another dealer.

Iv already been to my 3 closest dealers and its the same thing to each one I went too.

Ill just have to wait till the hype goes down.

Are people in Florida growing money on trees or more likely smoking trees?

[Cheddar]

Idk but no one in the area of the 3 dealers iv been too would buy any of those.

Oakland, CA dealership is charging $31,250.

Haha, same here. Im fully prepared to ask for my deposit back and walk away if my dealership decides to surprise me with a mark up. I'm tired of waiting but I won't become a victim to this foolishness.

Sounds like all your local dealers got together and are price fixing these cars.

What a joke. This, to me, really is inexcusable and could really turn people off into buying the car.

That'd put it at only 5k from a Boss 302, and they're in limited numbers (like 2000). There will be 17k of these FRS on the road by this time next year.
