Instead of paying $1k markup on an FR-S you could pay a trucking company ~$1,500 to transport an un-sold BRZ to you. There's quite a few in New England as previously mentioned. Find a dealer that has one, do the transaction over the phone/e-mail, and have them arrange for transportation. Just food for thought...

I very strongly considered immediately calling up that dealer in Jersey with an un sold BRZ Limited Manual in WRB since that is the hot ticket right now and what I ordered. A one way plane ticket and a great drive home would have been very enjoyable. I will stick with my dealer for a couple more months then if I don't have a VIN I will find one on a lot.

I don't hate the FR-S, I hate that I can pick up one today, but I have to wait for the BRZ. In fact, by the end of the day, I might own one. |

Just wait for the BRZ, evil. That way you can run the better spring rates for autocross and throw on a swaybar that will get you what you need and be more competitive in CS.

I see a bunch on autotrader for MSRP (no markup) in the NE. Dilemma is I love the Toyota orange but love the goodies on the BRZ.
I'm sure Scion will sell it with the goodies in the next few years, but these prices are also going to spike with all the demand / currency rates. $30k usd in the next few years would not surprise me. |

Sorry, I should have replied to the same posting you did, but I was sloppy and replied to yours. When I looked at your post and the post to which you replied after reading Sev's post I realized my mistake. I just hadn't responed yet.

I am clearly not an FR-S hater, nor am I a BRZ hater. That way of thinking is no more than dumbass foolishness. The three cars are three trim levels of the same platform. Nothing more. |

I bought my rare-configured Suzuki SX4 for MSRP + shipping from Virginia to SoCal when I lived there. Shipping a BRZ from KS to anywhere would be half the cost of shipping coast-to-coast since it's centrally located. Shipping from KS to Phoenix is a no-brainer.
