Time to buy a new frs? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Timmy_Jones · 02-16-2014, 10:37 PM

Local dealer has 5 leftover 13' FR-Ss....what would you pay for one? It's president day which is a huge sale anyways. Can dealers move on the fixed pricing if the cars are a year old?

Stickers on them say $24,9xx (manual).

Anyway they would let it go for $22-$23?

Thanks

Dealers can drop the price if they are inclined to, give them a try! Feel free to walk away. Their loss.

Why don't you go and find out?

If not then go get a BRZ. You can always haggle with Subaru.

Scion doesn't really budge on pricing, you're better finding a 13 BRZ. I'm sure you could get a premium for 23/24.

They can but they probably won't. They'll try and wheel and deal items that are usually fat profit for them: floor mats, wheel locks, service plans, extended warranties. They'll break even on those while still making standard profits on the cars.

For a 2013, they should be on "Manager Special" with a lower pricing.

I bought my 2013 FRS at the end of 2013. It was 1500 off MSRP.

Right now they're giving an additional 1000 off 10 series FRS.

Theyre gonna give you that bs that they are under pure pricing. But theres a few members on this forumn that said they got it for cheaper. Try to get some parts in for free though if they won't budge on the price

There is some truth behind the pure prixing. They have to sell every frs with similar equipment for that year for the same price if they dont they can be fined a ton of money and if it hapoens enough they can have the scion brand revoked from them. For example lets say there is a barebones 13 frs and they sell it for 24 the rest of the 13frs that are barebones have to be sold for that.

Thats what I did. Just picked up my '13 FR-S. If they can't get the price of the car any lower (I'm sure you could get at least another 500 out of them) try and see if they will include accessories. Thats what mine did. Good luck!

I've even seen some members post about getting the tax paid by the dealer, getting an extra year of the free maintenance, etc. I'd go in with a list of items, and just start throwing them on the table, see what they will go for. Good luck!

I just picked up a 2013 about a week ago now. Listing price online was 24,800. When we got there the amount of "dealer options" and dealer fees shot the price up to 28k that wasn't mentioned on the web ad. Eventually we haggled them down to the original listing price after they deducted all dealer fees and options and I got 1.9% apr. The dealer I was at was itching to get the 2013's off the lot so you can probably work a deal but from at least my experience you won't get much under 24. Just my .02 but good luck! Hope you can find one.

Contact every local Scion/Subaru dealership through the internet and point blank ask them what their lowest deal is on a 2013. The dealerships need to move the leftover 2013s. Someone will ultimately deal. Also ... watch out for the demo 2013 cars. I would stay clear of them.

as true as this is they never have a barebone fr-s. Or at least in my la area they didn't. No two vehicles were ever the same, they either had some with rear applicators, or whiteouts without. Factory installed = mark up. Dealer added = they can mark it down. But the stupid scion in Pasadena refused to do so, they were willing to disable the low jack but leave the system in my car.

worth trying OP! Give it a shot! That would be a GREAT price for a new FRS!
