this is just a dealership marketing tool to get people in. they've priced it high to keep people from buying it so they can keep using it.

So the dealership took a 23k miles 2013 year one FR-S and slapped a bunch of GReddy shit on it and some Toyota badges and think they can sell it for $46k? Right....

So they had a ~$15k invoiced FR-S and put about $13k into it. If they can sell that mofo for anything more than $35k they've got a good deal.

I've seen cars with similar stat sheets sell for about $32k. This will not sell so I'm sure it's a marketing ploy. Otherwise, they'll reduce it month to month you can be sure.

Yes, there is a turbo, coilovers, wheels, etc. but for almost 50k... damn.
Im gonna assume some poor sap traded it in for about 30 grand because they need the funds, and some dude at the dealerships like, WE CAN MAKE BANK WITH THIS. Thus ====> 46k

BUUUT, if it comes with a warranty, than it's kinda worth it assuming your gonna push this car, track it or whatever.

a couple of people already said this car was bought in stock form by the dealership and they (dealership) put on all the mods.

I mean its a known fact that besides selling extended warranties dealers makes most of their sales off of adding stuff but this is a joke. If i had the time i would number crunch everything together to see how much the car is actually worth. Plus its already sitting on 28k miles. What also bugs me is underneath the car specs it lists all the stock specs. Nothing on the turbo boosts, psi, e85, 93 octane. It's literally like, if people are willing to mod these for this price, lets just do it for them. They seem to not understand the whole concept of bought not built. But I'm sure since this car is already "used" they can't use the pure pricing. A google haggler should be able to drop 10k off of the msrp putting down the consideration that this car continues to sit at the dealership for another year, they don't hit their sell numbers and they just need to get rid of it. But things like this just irritates me. Plus the car's value is about 20k and thats with me rounding up.

Simple guestimations, if i had 10k and threw it in the car im pretty sure i can get this build if not close to it. Thats just my 2 cents.

I pick it up Tuesday.
Then I get to be all angry, defensive and carry the RB/hellaflush chip on my shoulder.

You'll probably win the Stancewars award and be posted all over the internet, all for the low, low price of 46k before taxes and fees!

The only thing missing is extreme camber which will definitely make your hellaflush car look like a hovering UFO.

$46K? They told me there were 20 people after it and the price went up to $52. Pretty sure I saw @Ultramaroon lurking around the sales desk.
