A few SD County dealers have gotten a few Supras in. Toyota Escondido is slapping on an alarm to jack up the price by $1500. Norm Reeves Toyota is getting a 2022 2.0 with a $5000 mark-up and a $2000 alarm. When the time comes, I will most likely be buying from Longo Toyota since they sell at MSRP, or pretty close to it.

First thing I asked my sales guy was if they installed one of those KARR aftermarket POS “alarms” on the car. Completely redundant and usually causes more problems. Had to rip one out of our Prius after it failed and the car wouldn’t start. He laughed and said he’d never do that to a Supra ;)

A long time ago, a cop told me they don’t even respond because they are too sensitive and go off if you cough near the car?

I’ve only seen one Supra in San Diego. It was yellow.
It better be me, i swear to fucking god lmao. One other yellow supra passed by my shop one time... WITH MY SUPRA IN THE FRONT LOT ON DISPLAY. never stopped by to introduce himself. Disappointing. He even passed by twice for confirmation lol

Oh well. If you do see another yellow supra though, this one is mine, feel free to come beside and say what's up or something. Lol

Pretty basic, i know, but the stock body of the supra looks so good, no need to anything else.

I was at Parc Bistro-Brasserie on 5th Ave. on Father’s Day. A week ago, I called Mossy to set up a test drive in a red 3.0. They said it was reserved. PS, its still on their website. Had the same BS when I tried to test drive a Civic Type-R. Two dealers flat out refused because it would put miles on it.

It's cause dealers love to see a car sit on their lot for 5-6 months that's why. Lol. That's what happened with my car at Norm Reeves, they couldn't move the car, until they met me. ?

I keep telling people to talk to @Jeff_BeachCitiesAuto before going to the dealer. He sells under msrp with no hassling. Thats who I got mine from.

The guy at Norm Reeves emailed me to tell me I could put down a deposit. I told him I will not be purchasing from them. I said we both know you make a healthy profit when you sell your cars and that $5000 over MSRP is just greedy. I told him I know of a dealership that will sell for MSRP.

He does leases and sales only. You would be on your own for a trade in.
Thanks. Probably sell the Prius to CarMax. Previously, they offered more than several dealers did.

Try Toyota of El Cajon, I got my 3.0 Nitro there with no Mark ups and didn't even pay for the extra options that were put on the car like Window Tint/Drivers Package/Carbon Mirror Caps.

If you do call them try asking for Ross as a Salesman. Helped me make out like a bandit for CA pricing. :)
