Anyone check their VON with SOA recently? - Page 27 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

This may change "after" my car actually comes in, but I will most likely NEVER buy another Subaru again. It happens to be my first Subaru too. In a day and age where you can track a package anywhere around the world a global company like Subaru can't tell me where a car is at a certain time? And not be able to tell me when it will arive? This entire experience has left a bad taste in my mouth that I will not easily forget.

lest we forget that all those seattle people didnt have their status change from the 15th or 18th and their cars came 3-5 days early.

Just got an e-mail from an SOA rep:

Unfortunately, our database only shows updates when the vehicles arrive at certain checkpoints. The details of those checkpoints are not disclosed to us. However, your order status does say that the train transporting your vehicle has arrived at its first destination. The ETA is still showing 5/29.

I'm assuming first destination is Chicago???

Seattle guy here- my ETA was 18th, then 15th, then 18th again, then 13th, then 11th, and I actually got it on the 14th. 4 days earler than original ETA.

Good luck guys! We're all pulling for you. And don't let this bad experience ruin your idea of Subaru- the cars should speak for themselves, and subies are really great cars. Just buy in stock ones! haha. The logistics division clearly sucks, but the engineering, development, and manufacturing are pretty top notch.

Here's hoping that the northwest gets another shipment soon! I'm next in line at Puyallup! :P

Tainen may I know how many days before the original ETA did they update your ETA?

GMU-BRZ · 05-17-2012, 05:24 PM

oh man. Let me remember here. (dug through the thread and found all the dates)

5/2: ETA of the 18th acquired from SOA
changed to the 15th on the 9th
changed back to the 18th on the 10th
Changed to the 15th on the 11th, late at night
Changed to the 13th on the 12th
arrived on the 14th (truck driver probably took sunday off I'm guessing)

PDXBRZ · 05-17-2012, 05:45 PM

Still on the wait list. #5 at my dealer in Portland.

kayen · 05-17-2012, 05:50 PM

I am #1 at Maple Hill Auto Subaru, still Wait List. However they are getting a Black Premium BRZ with an ETA of the 29th. Have no idea how they are getting it as their first BRZ when they didn't have it Pre-Ordered

Kind of bummed out I won't have the first one in the area, let alone this dealership.

I think that is the extra car SOA is giving out to some dealerships

I bet they just put their own order ahead of yours.
