$25,990 MSRP + $1495 freight and PDI is only $27,485. That's not almost $30k.

With a $1000 grad rebate it's definitely possible that Silverdub paid less than what that dealer was asking for, for that used FRS. There may have been an even bigger difference if Silverdub negotiated for less than MSRP.

$26,900 for a used 9000km FRS is absurd! If the dealer actually sold it, that would mean the car only depreciated $585!

Your theory seems to make sense, but typically manufactures will provide rebates and incentives around this time (see other manufacturers' current deals) in order to clear out old stock for the coming new model year. But this situation is actually reversed lol... Maybe it has to do with the growing popularity for the cars? Or maybe it's something as simple as the value of the Yen.
