Anyone pay base price in USA?

[Nik33615]

I'm just curious was anyone in the U.S.A. actually able to buy their car for the base advertised price?
It was $24,995 if I remember correctly but did anyone actually get one for that price?
I bought mine in August 2012 and it had an $845 BeSpoke head unit I didn't ask for or want. I couldn't get a car without any add-ons though.
The dealer I bought my car from actually told me I would be getting a car with window tint and some of the paint protection film but I got a stereo instead.
I checked the price difference and it turned out to be about the same so I never complained about the difference but I always wondered, are there any real base model owners out there in the U.S.A?

I paid the $24,995 for a Halo frs that included tints and spoiler 5 days ago. Granted that's not including tax and a ridiculous dealer fee.

I paid base MSRP plus dealer document fee of 500, almost exactly two years ago. I didn't purchase any of the ones on the lot though, since all of them had a ton of dealer add-ons. I told them I would wait for a fresh manual black FR-S and to please hold it as soon as it got off the truck so nothing gets put on it. They were nice enough about it, even though I had to wait a month or so; on the bright side, car had a fresh build date of May 2013 (purchased June 2013).

Mine was born in May of 2013 as well.

I accepted mine with an unwanted rear spoiler and touchscreen radio. They were still in fairly hot demand back then and my old 200k mile MR2 sold in one day for $3k leaving me half desperate.

I DID manage to avoid ALL of their dealer fees though. I also noticed a small scratch near the passenger door pull which was documented, and the dealership, unable to fix it 100% gave me a TRD cold air intake.

I bought mine off the lot new with zero upgrades. I paid 22900 for a new 2013 when the 2014s just came out

I paid full price for mine, but I ordered it how I wanted. Not sure.

I think the short answer is plenty of people have, but it is harder to do now compared to early in the run.

I got mine in November of 2012; had to wait a month or so until they got a Whiteout without the Bespoke stereo.

Just noticed where everyone's located...you'd never have this issue in socal! Longo Toyota has/had almost every color option, modded and unmodded, in stock. Pair that with Scion pure pricing so yea, most people paid sticker unless you bought a previous model year. I paid sticker for the exact Monogram I wanted on 2-12-14, when I first inquired about it on 2-5-14, and I knew some people were on a wait list to get one end of March...

The dealer I test drove at wanted $25,695 before taxes for a 2015. I opted to get a "new" 2013 10 series for $6595 less online.

Ordered mine and paid a little over 25K. Mine would have been under 25K but the car came with the coveted scion rear appliqué sticker (lol) and trunk liner.

Mine had the spoiler added for $400.

Those of us in the First86 program bought them at sticker price, and really there were no dealer add-on options available at the time. I think the only thing you could get was the upgraded radio and you had to request it.

This is the first (and moving forward only) car I've ever paid sticker price for, and no regrets about having done it. In the end though, Scion pure pricing would have been a deal killer for me if I walked in the showroom and was buying one today. I like the no-haggle part, but it really is not a great deal since it really doesn't reduce the sticker price any, as shown by the Subaru only being marginally more expensive and that can be accounted for by the equipment differences.

In general, it is very rare for me to buy a new car anyway. Of the 25 or so cars I've owned only 4 were purchased new.

Mine ended up being $26,6XX. It has the connection kit for phones, the embroidered trunk mat, rear spoiler, and the LED accents up front. I think the cheapest one listed around here was $25,720 after they tacked on the $799 destination fees.

Paid sticker + 90 for floormats. Dealer wouldn't budge on price from sticker, but was very generous with my trade-in, so that helped.
