Already put a deposit down and got my name on the waiting list for Manual Whiteout at a Socal Scion dealership...

CiViCKiDD · 01-20-2012, 02:52 PM

I plan on trading one of our cars in for the FR-S, anyone know how that works if I want to preorder? Hell I don't even mind letting it go this weekend lol. Guess I should make a trip out to the dealership one of these days...

It works the exact same way as if the car was already on their lot. Sometimes you can agree to a pre-determined trade in value before the ordered car arrives though.

better support from aftermarket manufacturers... not that i was worried, anyways...

i currently do not own a car, but need to get one since i am going back to school full time in the fall... i have to keep my eyes open and get on a waiting list if i need to...

Not one person in Ottawa has pre-ordered the FR-S other than me. Everyone I know is waiting for the new GC or Mustang.

Would be interesting to see those CR-Z numbers and other new cars and how it may relate to the BRZ/FR-S/86.

No, there is no list nor ranking. Gotta google search one car at a time. For the pre-order prior to the release date, CR-Z actually was 4700 instead of 10k. Prius c was 60k.　　Prius v was 25k.

I heard at the Longo dealership in SoCal is already pretty long. That the largest Toyota/Scion dealership in the US. I think the first preorder was in August 2011

Does anybody realize putting money down=you just agreed to pay msrp or worse. No thanks I'l wait, I bought my 05 sti for 500 up from invoice.

It's a Scion, I agreed to MSRP because I had no choice.

People have to realize that Japan doesn't have Mustang's or Dodge's in their market. No cheap RWD's have been available for a while outside of the MX5/RX8. And even then, neither of those are particularly cheap. The RX8 doubly suffers from being a gas hog in a country (Japan) where gas is 145yen to the liter, or about $6+ a gallon. The BRZ/FRS are priced right for their market.

One important thing to consider is to keep all of your potential transactions with the dealer separate. What I mean is that if you are planning to do a trade in, and finance the car, treat each as three separate transactions. Since you are potentially pre-ordering the car and the price has not been released, go ahead and negotiate the trade in price now. Then seek outside financing thru a third party to get the best rates (like thru penfed.com) and then finally you can "try" to negotiate the price of the car, which when all combined will give you the best deal. If you wait and do all if these negotiations at once with the dealer, you are bound to lose.

I am in a different situation since I am handing down my current vehicle to my daughter and then plan to purchase the car outright so that I do not have any car payments.

Good Luck!
