What's your ETA, June 5th?

When I checked at the dealership on Saturday morning it was listed as June 12 and that it was being delivered by rail.

Got a call from Round Rock Scion saying my car is expected to come mid July. A month and a half to go!

Hang in there!

garsh0p · 06-04-2012, 02:22 PM

Has anyone had any experience with Charles Maund Scion? I remember someone mentioning that they had a bad experience. Was thinking about checking with them to see what their stock/allocation looks like...

luxmn · 06-04-2012, 03:18 PM

I hear they have surprise markup which is worst than upfront markup, if you keep your expectation low and give them a call it may not be a bad deal.

Let me know if anyone has any questions about my purchasing process there!

Congrats..Asphalt looks nice. Glad to know you had a great purchase experience. Did they have any TRD parts available?

Strange that myself and a friend are #2 and #3 at Champoin Toyota\Scion and neither of was even called\informed about the arrival of the cars. If i recall correctly it was Ben Bennett who added us to the list and have heard from him since. We had a color preference (Whiteout, Red) but let him know we were open to other colors too. Might be time to give them another call

Let me know what they say... I'm curious as to what happened there.

I actually picked it up on Tuesday!

I'll be in Austin towards the end of next week, so sometime after that we should schedule something for the FT-86ers to get together.

garsh0p · 06-07-2012, 01:49 PM

Just got an email from Jim Lee from Champion. He said they got an allocation of 3 today.

Nice! A get together would be excellent since we haven't had one yet.

Gars and Preet - I was working with Jim from the beginning and never met Ben, so unfortunately don't have any feedback then. I did let Jim know I'd be open to any color and was in pretty constant contact with him. If you aren't able to get a hold of Ben, asking for Jim probably wouldn't hurt.

No TRD parts in yet when I picked mine up, I don't even think they're available yet, right? Which were you looking for?

Don't think any of them were for me cause he told me I was 3 spots closer on the list now

But one of them should be for @preetham! preetham, let me know if you hear from them!

luxmn · 06-07-2012, 03:15 PM

damn guys, i'm ready for a meet

preetham, hope one of those 3 is yours man. i bet one of them is Jim Lee, he seems to be pretty anxious for the car just like any of yall.

garsh0p, go check out all 3 of them man, you never know who may back out

+1 When I took delivery of my car there was another 86er there waiting in case I changed my mind. Well that and he just wanted to see the car and provided some awesome pics.

I'm pretty set on a Hot Lava/MT, so I'll wait patiently for that one

Jim Lee got back to me and told me that the 3 they had were 2 Firestorm/1 Asphalt, all MT. One of those should definitely be yours preetham!

garsh0p · 06-07-2012, 06:21 PM

Just got a call from Charles Maund Scion. They got their allocation today also and there are 2 Asphalt (he said "dark grey") MT FR-S's available on their lot. I didn't ask about mark up or anything, but I know other forum users have had issues with them marking up cars in the past. I passed on it because I'm still holding out for a Hot Lava, but if anyone else in the area is interested, give them a call.

Hmmmm, sounds like I may be giving them a shout. Muahahahahaha(evil laugh)

The only reason I'm going to try to deal with them is to resolve an issue with one of my cars I got from them and also get an 86 at the same time. I don't advise going to them unless you expect to pay more.

bigsolo · 06-08-2012, 01:03 PM

I just got off the phone with Alfred at Charles maund and the 2 fr-s's are not in stock they won't be there until maybe the 18th, they are accepting deposits of $1000. Also the price of the cars are $26,603.

that's a $1,300 markup (assuming they're talking about MT) for those not sure. not the worst we have seen but shameful nevertheless.

Yeah, especially when there's another dealer in the area that has allocation soon. Well - guess they have to get the revenue so they can pay for those awful Austin Powers tv commercials
