Who has had the longest wait so far? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ordered may 19th, ETA dec 7.

BMWDavid · 11-20-2012, 01:30 PM

I placed order on day one...March 1 for BRZ pre-orders. Car came in June 13th. Dealer was not able to keep me fully aware of order in process.

Then just like that car came in June 13.

If people are willing to buy out of state, you can get one from Colorado. Heuberger has 3 available right now; 2 manuals, 1 auto and they are selling for under MSRP.

I almost settled for an FRS until I found out about this place. No way I would pay over MSRP for the Subaru. Only negative is I dont get the $1000 new grad discount with Subaru.

So just to clarify it seems like the first week of December is a common ETA (Time of order probably doesn't give a lot of color). I'm assuming this is probably from the same block of cars. I'm wondering if people have seen these cars arriving or will in the coming week-two?

I don't mind going out of state but if I can wait a week to get mine locally I'd rather do that. I just want to know if it's the case or not. If not I'm willing to make trade-offs such as traveling or different color.

I ordered on the same day. Cancelled at 6 months in when they told me it wouldn't be here until March or later. Dealer left the order open and still hasn't gotten anything.

Put a deposit down in October 2011. Orders went in on March. Took delivery on June 9th.

So around 8 months for me.

I started following the development of the car late 2010. Got mine June 1st 2012. (ok, ordered 2/28 - but was first in line. Dealer didn't even know customer deposit order system was going to open 3/1. They told me they have no info and they're not taking deposits. I told them the order system is opening (sans price info!) and I have my checkbook with me. Cut them a check for $1k and got my car early.

First BRZ I ever saw in person was mine. I didn't have the luxury of seeing one, test driving, sitting in it, or even knowing the price of the car. That's why I got mine early - but by 3/1, the dealer had all 6 allocations filled. Someone ordered 3/1 and got their car Oct/Nov.

Go buy one out of state if you can't wait. They're out there. SOA has a different distribution network than the northeast (they have another distributor there) - so the ordering process was different. Also it seems like Subaru figured the target buyer was the same as their WRX (guilty in my case), so they distributed based on WRX sales too. But figure some areas will buy up an AWD car and not touch a RWD car - so while good in theory, their distribution method was flawed. That's why some states have a few in stock and others have a 6 month wait list.

Good luck.
