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]

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...

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.

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?

+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.
