So I'm in the process of getting my FR-S currently, but I am stuck in a perdictament.

I want to get a Monogram FR-S 6spd in Raven, the dealership I work for cannot get one as no one wants to trade and they cant locate one any other way. They have a 13' Firestorm that has been sitting for the past year which they are willing to give me at cost, it does have the TRD exhaust on it already as it was supposed to be one of the managers demos. Now of course this makes a great deal for me but the orange is so meh.

I know of another dealership that has a black monogram for sale nearby, should I pull a **** move and go to that dealership with all my paperwork and try to get them to match or should I just take the better deal. AHhhhhhhhhh

Ultimately do what YOU feel is best. This is a huge investment and you don't want to have any regrets, even if that means going elsewhere to get the car you want....don't settle!

Your sense of loyalty is misguided. Why should you have to accept a substitute product you don't really want to make the dealer happy? If they want your money, they're supposed to be making you happy.

They don't have what you want. Another dealer does. Go buy what you want from the guy who has it. That's just business.

If the dealer were trying to substitute a tC, would you be willing to take that deal out of your sense of loyalty? The difference is only a matter of degree.

I really can't get my head around having that kind of loyalty to a car dealer that I would buy a car I didn't want to keep them happy.

So I was talking to the sales manager and found out that its 0% interest, OJ here I come baby.

Jond63 · 05-03-2014, 02:47 PM

Is it Firestorm or Hot Lava?

jflogerzi · 05-03-2014, 03:10 PM

Get the color you want. Don't settle over a few thousands of $$

Hot Lava, and I'm going with the 0%, its about $100 a month difference in payment compared to the monogram.

AVodka14 · 05-03-2014, 03:22 PM

Get the Raven Monogram. Saving money may sound appealing up front. Yet buyer's remorse can set in quite quickly.

D_Thissen · 05-03-2014, 03:28 PM

But do you want the monogram? If you do, and can afford it, get it! Like everyone said, its a big investment to not be 100% satisfied!

amilleri · 05-03-2014, 03:59 PM

Man, you guys are right, I'm going to see if the dealership can match mine on everything with the monogram

If they can't...screw them. Go elsewhere and get the ride you want. Loyalty should be reciprocated. They are lucky to have a such a dedicated customer as yourself. I would have been gone as soon as they said they could not allocate the car I wanted. On to the next one!

Tromatic · 05-03-2014, 06:20 PM

F the Monogram. It's more money for the same car.

Annahra · 05-03-2014, 06:26 PM

I compromised on color/options the first time around and I loved the car, but now that I have exactly what I really wanted I am IN LOVE with the car

. No compromises!

Get the monogram, the headlights alone are a butt load of money. You also get all the other dual climate whatevers, but don't settle!
