Here's the fine print form their website: " All price and payments are estimated excluding Tax, Tags, Freight, and Porcess fee of $399.00."

Add in the $755 freight.

Just confirmed that the Ultramarine shows in Dealer Daily that it's on the ground. MSRP is $24,955 so they are showing $2k off of that. I would bet College grad is included in their price as well. $22,955 is UNDER invoice before freight! Scions don't have holdback or financial reserve either.

Something's fishy here.....

Someone mystery shop them....

Hmm....seems to be a violation of Pure Price right here. Look at the price they have listed for FRS's on their website. I wonder if the Price Menus in their showroom show the same amount? Probably because most dealerships print out their website menu's and post them in the showroom

Now, most automakers are all on par for quality in the sub 40's range.

A Corolla that crapped out is a corner case. You can put sand in the gas tank and it'll still run!

To each has their own and my buddy still has his bug eye'd STI and didn't have any major issues, just really faded seats.

Not just that, that is the dealer invoice price of the car!

"This car is no longer for sale"

Something must've happened!

norm24 · 08-17-2012, 05:21 PM

Bait and hook. It's gone. It was either an error , or they realized they wouldn't stand a chance in a civil lawsuit after being accused of that illegal sales tactic.

I believe it was on there purely by mistake. Why would they price a car under its own invoice? The dealership would lose money on the sell AND if they used that to bring in more customers they would keep losing on every sell. Thats not sales thats being dumb.

Do you understand the bait and hook? lol

I called Lustine to find the out-the-door price on the one MT FR-S that the salesman said was available. I'm a MD resident and MD has 6% sales tax. OTD he said $26,200. Not terrible, about $900 less than the next cheapest OTD price I've gotten. I'm not into the Ultramarine blue though; I'll wait for my Asphalt to show up

Typical dealer Bait & Switch, lolol

Same with listing a car that has already been sold or not in actual inventory.
