I see they are adding $1k worth of port installed bs on these just like the GRC’s and the 86’s. The Toyota distributors are thieves!

That is the first one I have seen that is marked down. I think every new vehicle now includes a $1000+ destination charge. There is a WSJ article discussing how this is a new way for dealerships to increase profit under the guise of "we pay tariffs and higher shipping costs."

ThreeD thanks for sharing those thoughts. I have 4 raucous 2-seaters as it is, so hearing this is more of a comfy GT car with a decent interior is good news. My use case will be fair weather commuter (no winter use due to road salt), small road trips, and some spirited weekend driving even though I have other cars for that purpose. It will definitely see some laps at track days, but my other cars are prepped for such use and will take the brunt of the beatings! Clearly a sports sedan would fill a bigger gap in my fleet, there just isn't much out there that interests me especially wanting a car with a manual transmission. Hard to see myself driving a german car. I like to do my own maintenance and modifications and even repairs as much as possible. I also value reliability. I would love to try a 06-08 Z4M coupe, but they are hard to find and priced high. They are also similar to the cars I already own and won't come with any warranty. I'd look at that car as the S2000 replacement, should I ever sell my trophy/garage queen.

I am still considering another R35, but prices have gone stratospheric and are pretty much at the inflection point for me in terms of no longer being worth it. It was a fantastic machine and I loved it, but also already had that experience and of course there is no manual option.

On a somewhat related note, I rode in a friend's hellcat durango today. Absolute beast! Not what I am looking for, but the launch in particular was impressive. All four tires clawing at the pavement and it burns rubber on the 1-2 shift! Unreal that sizable SUV's offer such performance.

It's not marked down, but not terrible. For starters, it has 2100ish worth of accessories installed, and the dealer is charging 1200 for processing and handling which should be around 500. So thats 2800ish in markup before the 1500 discount, which I suppose isn't so bad if you like the accessories installed, and is still one of the cheaper MT Supras I've seen.

If that does include destination/freight/etc then not too bad.

The handling and processing is the destination and freight fee. If you can find one cheaper then post it up for the OP.

Yep this is definitely marked down compared to anything I have seen. I haven't seen a single listing below MSRP. They all have destination/freight added now and every Supra listing shows this same amount. I agree, I would not want to pay $925 for CF mirror caps, but I have seen several with this same addition for the same price. My local dealer would also add $800 for installing a blinking third brake light, if you really want to hear about added price gouging!

Isn't production done for the supra? My understanding was production was ending a month or so earlier than the z4 g29 and in my state as of a month ago you would have to get the final edition if you wanted a customizable allocation with the b58. I am not even sure you can order the FE z4 still.

I would argue the supra has fantastic bang for buck performance. Racing and time attack rules here are made around the supra because it dominates, especially TT.

I got the last customizable m40i z4 allocation in my state a month ago at 4% below msrp through a broker which charged a $900 fee. Every dealer in my state basically laughed at me when I asked for below msrp. The buying experience through the broker was incredibly easy. Highly recommend using one for new vehicles. My friends got 5% below msrp for m2 and m4 through brokers as well.

I will say the z4m coupe is a fantastic car and holds its value fairly well. I drive my friends car often and always look forward to it.
