Buying a new FR-S

I am in the process of buying the Scion FR-S and have a few questions.

I want to buy the Scion FR-S/Manual/Color:Firestorm/Add on: BeSpoke Audio System.

I want to know if there are any reasons why I should or should not get any of the above mentioned. I also want to know what I should expect from this car and what additional add on's I should look in to.

Lastly, any suggestions on best way to finance this and the best way to get the lowest interest rate?

Thanks for the help and I look forward to joining the 86 Community!

I wouldn't go for the Bespoke. For the price it costs you could get a much nicer aftermarket head unit.

Agreed. Pioneer makes some very nice units for hundreds less.

I wouldn't get the bespoke, if you really want it, get a BRZ.

Financing I would try to find someone that's a recent graduate and use their name to buy it so you get $1000 rebate and .2% less interest and 90 differed payment. If your a recent grad that will be even better!

GL bro!

How in the heck do you buy a vehicle with someone else's name?

You walk in wearing a moustache and glasses. You introduce yourself as Phil Schiffley.

There are several options. I can't recommend pioneer enough but others may have other opinions.

I recommend Pioneer as well. Great systems. Honestly, the stock head unit isn't horrid - get the stock and see if you aren't happy with it. If you find you still want a touchscreen, you'll still come out ahead.

Check out Pioneer's site.
