Any trustworthy scion dealer near manhattan? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Dear enthusiasts,

My attempt to factory order fr-s went horribly wrong. I found my local dealer didn't do anything since I put $1500 deposit 7 weeks ago. I still can't believe this kind of stuff is happening to me, but I have to recover.

I am looking for a dealer who is close enough (I don't have a car now) and is willing to do business based on trust. Thanks for reading and safe driving!

which dealership did you go to?

Thanks xpicer, I should hunt it down as you recommended. I didn't know factory order is not possible. My contract with them has the word "factory special order" lol.

Ayaz2589, it was scion of manhattan. I will post full details once this issue is resolved and save others from the similar pitfall.

for whatever its worth, i bought 2 cars from them (scion of manhattan) including my FR-S without issues. I know a few others on this board who also bought from them without hassle.

Sorry to hear your issues though and hope it gets resolved!

this sounds like every dealership. The easiest option is to find a dealer with the exact car that you want in stock. Go check it out and make sure condition, mileage, and price are all in check, then just bring it home.

I can't even get a simple taillight replacement done smoothly, I can't imagine how much more of a hassle it is to get a whole car in.
