Buying your FRS/BRZ in Mid A area.

[Zaku]

I think things will be easier once the cars are readily avaliable and the Scion people all over the country have a better idea about everything

I might have to find a bigger dealer in MD who has more clout and/or knowledge to get my car quickly. Or maybe the original dealer just wanted to wait to the allocations come out... who knows.

I just think a lot of Scion dealers are playing it safe until they get the green light from corporate to take deposits and put in pre-orders. I've been told the same thing and although I'm anxious there's really nothing you can do. Some dealers are taking deposits on their own accord without an official list or pre-order system in place and personally I think that's irresponsible, but they are just trying to land sales. Such is the business.

Does anyone know of any local dealers who have one in their showroom yet?

I've been meaning to stop by Jones Juction Scion and Thompson Scion on my way home from work one of these days and find out what they're doing in the way of pre-orders and if they intend to sell at MSRP. Not sure if anyone else on here is in Harford County, but I'll post it when I find out.

At Thompson Scion we are taking pre-orders. As a matter of fact we already have one pre-sold. I'd like to talk to you about ordering with us. Stop by and ask for Tom or give us a call 410-679-1500.

Thanks

I got confirmation from my dealership they should be able to get my FR-S from the first batch coming to the midatlantic area

Has anyone got this ?

[kanundrum]

I was actually on the fence about to cancel my order but decided to stick with it.

Didn't know if I wanted it as a track car or not but after working a few things out thought it would be one of the better track cars

I was told they should have my VIN in the next week. My car should be here in the first two half of May (First 86er). I didnt get an exact date, unfortunately.

Anybody know when the FR-S will be in the Tidewater area/Norfolk/VA Beach? Want to look at the car in person/sit in it before I make any financial decisions, maybe even test drive it. Anyone know when we might see one?

I was informed first couple of weeks in June (early June by Charles Barker Scion, mid June by First Team Scion.) From those two places, it does not appear any FRS will be available in near future for testing driving, only those who pre-ordered get to drive their selections after PDI.

Thank you for the heads up! Did they by chance say how many each dealership in the area would be getting?

I am not aware of how many Charles Barker is getting initially, other than (as of last week) there is one pre-order. First Team did not give the impression there is a waiting list (yet); the internet sales person stated they would receive two FRS in the initial shipment, both whiteout. One is automatic, the other manual. The odd thing with the quote I received is that the MSRP for the whiteout auto was $26,412 (excluding tax, title, doc fee, etc). I understand there is a cost upgrade for whiteout but 400 bucks??
