I bought all of my Toyota's from Longo. Depending on the rep , they don't force you to get the extra accessories. And they will take it out if you ask nicely. Especially if you purchased from them before, they are more likely to do it without a hassle. The rep I use is Paul Leung though if your interested.

And like I said I am not sure how Scion works. But I know that Toyota Pasadena when they had 1 Prius left, they added 10k of accessories and refused to take it out. But said they didn't mark up the price of the car.

I was interested in Sienna too, and the particular model I wanted they wanted to charge one model higher with extra accessories. They also gave me an OTD price then on the contract started adding the fees back on the contract to make it higher. I hate their games, but you can't really do that type of games on Scion. Although I am not sure if they can force those accessories on you as a Scion.

Longo also had the Hollywood FR-S debut on their website. I was the 11th deposit. Longo is a Giant dealership and I figure they would be one of the first to get a large delivery of the FR-S and I would have a better chance of getting one.

Same here. We ordered both our cars with Jeff at Longo. Great guy.

To those who ordered the FRS, did they tell you how much the estimated price was? One of the dealers here in Carson told me it's going to be 25-27k so i'm still hesitant to place my order. BRZ premium will have HIDS and is rumored to be 24k so 25k for FRS is a no go.

Can anyone recommend a scion dealer here in carson or torrance? Maybe carson scion is putting too much buffer on the est price.

There's no way the FR-S will be more expensive than the BRZ Premium unless you can deal down the price. That price sounds too much.

I spoke with a Scion rep and he said it would probably start at $25,999

I would try Longo Scion in El monte . They are one of the biggest dealers around. I have a deposit with them. They might be kinda far. I'm coming from the OC. They have no numbers yet . They said during the NY auto show they will know for sure, April 4-15.

That price point should kill it for a lot of would-be buyers. And it might make the "mad rush" to buy one a little less maddening.

Grateful Dave, have you dealt with this dealer before? Or did someone recommend you to them? i'll check em out and hopefully the pre-order list ain't long. thanks!

Marrk, i know right? I was a little bit discouraged hearing the price so might try one more dealer. If price is too high, then i'll prolly wait a lil.
