Your question has been answered.

There was no such thing as a "TRD" edition for the 2013 model year.

There were TRD bolt-on parts and it sounds like your dealership threw the catalog at it, perhaps as a "demonstrator", to show everything extra that was available.

There are numerous valuation sites out there, but I took the liberty of doing an Edmunds search for you in San Bernadino. This is for a "Clean" 40k mile car (better than average). You will likely not get this, but you can certainly try.

wow, i can't believe these cars are still worth over $10k yet since the covid blowup.

My Lava FRS was the dealer showroom car for 2014. It had all the things the dealer could add (in Canada) on it. There was tinted windows, TRD exhaust, lowering spring, clear hood protector, the Scion lip spoiler, TRD drop in filter, the "bonjovi" radio enhancer (I think this was a Canadian thing only) and the most horrid white staggered TRD wheels ever made. All told it was $7,500 worth of stuff. Since the 2015s were coming in and they had very little interest shown in the car at the price they were asking I told them I would pay $500 for everything and they could keep those wheels and radio module. We settled on $1,200 which was the price of just the TRD exhaust alone here. The add ons were a great bargaining chip when it came to the Scion Pure Price thing. They wouldn't move on the car price but with a little work you could get some free goodies thrown in.

I’ve got a couple AWD R34 GTR drivetrains sitting in my garage taking up space. You can have one if you’re willing to drive out here. Should bolt right up!

And STILL paid at least a $1,000 over market price for a 2013 FRS!

“Sold it to myself for 27k originally 32k took my commission out”

Not sure what dealership paid $5,000 commission on a 13 FRS to a sales guys in the first place though.

In another thread he mentioned he had a carmax warranty on it:

So I don't trust anything he says.


Literally all gibberish

Pretty sure on his TRD model the rear mounted radiator and ganadors cause fitment issues with the GTR diff carrier bearing

When you say have. You mean have have or like hey here are these drive trains for 2500 each kind of deal

I was just joking about the drivetrains.

A R32-R34 GTR trany looks like this:

A Toyobaru transmission tunnel looks like this:

How do you plan to make that fit? Are you going to delete the pasenger seat? And how are you going make the car structurally sound after the extensive cutting that's going to be required?

I got asked if I sell my HotLava for $20k at my local Toyota dealership, I refuse it indeed. My counter offer was, trade in my HotLava + $10k cash for MT Zupra.
