The salesman redlined and drifted the car on the first half of the test drive which made for a pretty damn good sales pitch (although I already knew I wasn't buying THAT model). So we get back to the desk and he tells me that they only have that one model available which isn't broken in properly, with options I don't want, the color I least like, and a $3000 mark-up. So I walked out and started to call dealers around.

I found a dealer that had this awesome (and hot) saleswoman and she went truly out of her way to make sure she got me my FR-S. The only options installed are Bespoke Audio and paint protection (discounted to $199). I also managed to negotiate my trade in at KBB value, and they decided to lower the price of the car by $500 because I told them I didn't want the Toyoguard. My FR-S was $26005 + tax.

As of this Friday, I'm driving an Asphalt FR-S 6MT

Well that's legitimately dissapointing, it's delayed until the 27th now...

I had to wait 5 weeks for mine. I got lucky, because the person ahead of me on the waiting list cancelled. Otherwise, I probably would have had to wait about 7-9 weeks

dgtlmn · 08-14-2012, 05:40 PM

Picked mine up last Friday. Waited about 2 1/2 weeks for it to show up.

DarkReign · 08-14-2012, 06:10 PM

4 days

Saw White BRZ on the loading truck going south on I-95 in northern virginia.

Got my VIN today...

bakerr6 · 08-21-2012, 03:30 PM

I waited 2 days. I ordered a 2013 5.0 mustang, decided I didn't want it after test driving one of these, and just picked up the closest one to me off the truck. I wanted white over black, but it was my 2nd choice, so I'm very happy!

Ordered on July 20th and the car was supposed to come in on the 26th but has been pushed back to the 31st.

Ahh... Yeah my guy was saying 08/22, but now he says it'll probably be at the very end of the month if not in Sept.

Total wait time about a month. I ordered around July 4th weekend and got it over this weekend.

JimmyMac · 08-21-2012, 08:15 PM

I didn't order one. I just decided what I wanted and which color. Searched the dealer inventories, sent out a few emails for the ones I wanted, then found 3 that were available to buy in less than a week.

oxygen · 08-21-2012, 08:17 PM

I live in omaha and the performance dealership down the street has 3 fr-s's sitting on the lot waiting to be purchased. Check their inventory on performanceauto.com I bought mine from there and they seem to have no issue getting the cars
