Screwed.
So I went to my local dealer, in SoFla, and wanted to get a Whiteout MT and they told me that there was one in Georgia that they got in a trade with the FR-S that was coming to their dealer and it will be here next week. So you can imagine that I was very happy that I was getting the car that I have been following for over 2 years was finally going to be mine. Well I was wrong! So I showed up today asking about the car and they told me that other dealer, Georgia dealer, sold the car off and that they had the original car, Asphalt/AT, here now. Went to look at it and noticed that it was over 28.5k. The whiteout that I wanted was a little over 27k. Their car had the upgraded radio and Toyota care on it. Not only that they were also putting additional $500 on it. The dealer continuously kept saying how this one was better and so on. First they told me that they would give me sticker and he walked in and walked back out saying now they have to put 500 more on it, walked back in and came back out saying well because the car is so new and they, the dealer, doesn't think that the car will be back next year meaning that they are only going to make the FR-S/BRZ one year was it for me. So I asked them for my 2k deposit back, btw I put a 2k deposit on the Whiteout, and they told me that I had to come back tomorrow to get it. I come online to look at my back and they took the money. This has not been a very good day for me and the whole time driving back I was screaming obscenities in my car. I could just imagine what people thought while looking at me. Just not a good day for me. Thank you for reading my rant. Sorry if anything was not grammar correct or spelled wrong just got back from dealer and still steaming. Thank you for your time.

I know the feeling, when my sales guy called me and told me that the frs had just arrived and I saw it for 34k I thought I would never have one anytime soon. However, don't let it get you down, keep looking around for what you want, I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of theese cars for years to come, and no matter what do not pay a penny over msrp, unless it's for options which you actually want.

You realize how little sense that makes right?

Wow, those Florida dealerships are making it really hard on you guys aren't they? Perhaps you should look outside of the state for one. I got mine in June and there was NO hassle. Although I am on the opposite end of the country..

I meant that as far as I know Scion doesn't have or is not supposed to have any mark up on their cars but Toyota vehicles do. So if you go to buy a scion what ever MSRP is, it won't be a penny less or a penny more but on Toyota vehicles or other brands they will be able to discount or mark up prices.
Sorry I guess I didn't made my self clear. |

did you ask for them to order a car with NOTHING added? Some people have had success with that. I am close to Kendall Toyota but don't know what they are doing with their FRS's. I LMAO that I nailed what they added and I honestly said it randomly.

I had multiple deposits at different dealerships. They ALL ended up giving the money back (after a month) when i got my FR-S.
I think they have to give you your money back. |

What are you saying here?
If you made a deposit on a car and they did not get it to sell it to you and don't have another one exactly like it for the same price you can get your money back no problem....well if they do refuse to refund your deposit, I'm sure an attorney can get it back and then some for fraud. |
