When I saw the sticker price of the Whiteout AT with all the options and it was already past $29k but I don't know if the leather is included in that price (no mark up either).

Yeah it's not a mark-up it's an added option. Most of us on the forums want the stock seats, but adding leather makes sense since it gives the car more of an "upscale" feel for everyone who'd buy it to just be their every day car. There's a big thread about this on the main forums.

I really hope it doesn't continue here, my intension of listing what I was quoted was not to stir up anything, but make sure people were prepared to know what they'd be getting when the called. I'm 200% sure those cars will sell. Leather matters to a lot of people, just not some of us.

Their being cheeky and taking a punt there are some 'gotta have its' out there.
Simply do not buy their cars on the lot at silly prices and ask to order a bare-bones one at MRSP. The Bay is full of dealers, just skip the one's trying to gouge

Just a heads up. The 6MT ultramarine that Folsom Scion has is a First 86 car that the buyer backed out on, so if anyone is looking for a low vin number car ... that's your best bet.
Ask for Jay. I was going to buy the car but ended up getting one from the local dealer. Maybe tell him Greg sent you. :-D

Ended up picking mine up from Chuck Patterson here in Chico.
As of 7pm today they had a Firestorm Auto that wasn't yet spoken for. I think it had paint protection film Hood/front fenders, wheel locks, ashtray cup and carpet trunk mat.

TJ at One Toyota in Oakland has a black AT that someone backed out on. Hit him up! It won't last long.

I saw some shots of it. I'd jump on it myself if it was MT or whiteout.

I have them.

Firestorm about to get PDI'd at my dealership two days ago, one of 4 we received that day. The three others were Firestorm, Argento, and Raven.

These cars are special. As such I don't joyride in customers' FR-S Scions, and I adhere to Scion Pure Pricing, meaning there's no markup. If you're a serious buyer, I can get you the car PM me for more info.

^ Nice "additional feature" there.

I also do high quality custom leather installations, but I allow my customer to choose from my leather pallet and give them a choice of color and stitching, instead of assuming what the customer wants, then charging extra for the dealer's choice of leather.

I have one MT Raven in stock right now.

PM me IMMEDIATELY for my contact information if you're a serious buyer and want to take it home NOW.

After a day of looking around and advice from a couple of very helpful folks (like juicyjosh above) I found a red MT in Vacaville, at sticker, and was in and out in less than two hours. Dan Schmitz is Scion of Vacaville's Internet guy and kept the deal very straightforward. Not even a hard sell in F&I. Thumbs up.

Congrats! I think I saw you on 580 West when it parallels the BART tracks...around 3PM. I even had my mom take a picture because it was the first FR-S I saw in motion in person. I followed you for a while but you were snaking through traffic haha I was in a grey Corolla

...I'm not the one who works for them aha. But IMO, no leather would've been better.
