That is a bit high. The Bespoke is useless, the apps that it has are only functional when your iPhone is plugged in, and it won't work with the iPhone 5. Id suggest finding one without it. That knocks off nearly $1k right off the bat. The dealer installed tint is a great way for them to mark up the price as well. What dealer did you go to? I can ask some of the Jerja folks what dealers they'd recommend.

I just built one with Bespoke, trunk mat and the spoiler and it was $26,594 less TTL. I also noticed that the MSRP went up compared to when I bought mine ($24,900 vs $25,255 including delivery).

Scion won't negotiate the cost of the car, but you can negotiate the cost of the accessories. But if they want to move the car, they'll make a deal.

I'd rather not say the name of the dealer out here because of how fast they move but if you can talk to some GA peeps and let me know what they paid i'd appreciate it. Thanks for the feedback on the bespoke. i was trying to tell my wife i could just install a nice DD in a base model but she doesnt like the idea of me "modding" a brand new car. She's going to get over it after i tell her this.

@phee:

Don't go to Team Toyota in Lithica Springs. One member (that I trust) said his buying experience there wasn't great. Unfortunately for him, he was a First 86er and had to purchase from that dealer.

Also, always ask about doc fees. The charge varies dealer to dealer. Check your laws about document fees though, the limit varies state to state.

I sent a message to another member as well to ask him where he got his, he mentioned that his experience was a bit better. Ill let you know what he says.

No one here, they could afford me

I havent been on here in a while, and last Friday this happened:



The weather is crazy this time of year, so I've been driving her when I can. Other then that, I've ordered a few more parts, nothing huge. I already have one that I need to install, the others aren't here yet. Its going to be in the 60s this weekend, so Cars and Coffee should be great

Where did you get your short antenna from? I thought about the shark fin for mine, but don't want the reception for my radio and nav system to suck.

The shorty does decrease reception slightly, but not as bad as the shark fin. I got this one:

Congrats on 20K miles Morgan...the amount of miles you rack on the car, is directly proportional to how much you enjoy driving it

Did he try to take her out with his car? Was he gonna say that his gas pedal got stuck under the mat?

Dammit Tyler. If youre going to tell a story, at least get the details right.

I tried to kill her in the garage, not the driveway. She fell into the driveway.

I got the FRS washed up for C&C this morning. I didnt take many pictures there as I spent most of the time talking to the other FR-S/BRZ owners. There wasnt anything crazy there this week. One of the MP4-12C owners decided to take his Ford GT to the meet instead (I wish I had that dilemna) while the other was absent. Plenty of Porsches and Mustangs though. Heres a few I liked:













After freezing my ass off, I had to run into work for a bit. When I left, the weather was too nice to go food shopping, so I drove down to the James River and took some pics.











When I was leaving the boat ramp, I decided to take some pics out on the road. Luckily no one was coming, but some of the home owners in the area were outside and staring at me the entire time. I gave zero fucks.





Those last two didnt exactly come out the way I wanted, but I didnt have my tripod with me

And now Im back home, wondering what to make for dinner but not stressing it too much since I only slept 4hrs and Im beat.
