2019 Production numbers?
Hey gang! First time poster here and future owner.
I plan on picking up a BRZ Limited model within the next few months. Recent sales history shows most BRZs sold in April and May. I guess that's due to good weather coming up? Or Memorial Day specials? Anyway, the car will be new. I don't like paying the new price premium to take the depreciation hit...but I am a big fan of the #savethemanuals movement and want to buy a good manual little sports car to support them staying around. I want to find the production numbers for 2019 here in the US...but haven't yet. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. I'm curious about the options and color breakouts. Limited model manual should give me everything I want, but not interested in the performance package. I intend to mod the car myself and want to choose my own brake kit/wheels/tires/suspension etc. |

If you need the car, buy it when you need it. If you want it but don’t need m, it wait until the 2020 ones come out. Don’t pay MSRP. For a Limited BRZ, you shouldn’t pay invoice either (you should be paying under it). Stop researching about production numbers and start researching price (contact internet department of your local dealerships). Production numbers are quite irrelevant when it comes to getting a good deal.
But since you’re curious, in order of the most popular color in terms of production it is White, Blue, Black, Grey, Silver, Red. The Premium model is made more than the Limited manual. The Limited with Performance package and without are pretty even. Then the Limited Automatic.

Production numbers are not published. We can only see sal s numbers after the fact.

I don't intend to pay MSRP and will hunt for a good deal..but ultimately I'm more interested in finding exactly what I want vs getting the best deal. Thanks for the help on the colors. Didn't realize Silver and Red were the 2 most rare..that helps. Hmm, I thought they were. Corvette production numbers are easy to get with option breakdown and colors and all. |

But like @Veloist said (and he’s a super reputable source too - check all his VIN list research/publications), you’ll definitely get a number well below MSRP and invoice. When I was looking at 2018s, I was able to build a limited w/ the Performance Pack, full STI lip kit, and STi short shifter for 29,000 out the door (including taxes, fees, etc). And that was without me trying to neogitiate. I ultimately ended up spending more and getting a tS, but I still got that for at least 3K under sticker and that was in April 2018. |

Wasn’t almost it was 100% a confirmation you were correct. For that one year and for a special reason.
