Sure you could get lucky and find one suddenly available locally that someone else flaked on, AND maybe it will be available at MSRP, but I took the "conservative" bet, I wasn't in a super rush anyways. If I was in a rush to get one, I probably would have just bought a FR-S, they are far easier to come by.

Thanks

Edit:

SF Scion has a Whiteout A/T no plates on bumper. Not currently for sale...probably getting some "stuff" installed.

Wow. That is pretty shady of them. What happened to the engine / how did it blow?

That's pretty insane. That must have made a horrible sound. How many miles did you have on it?

Had the car for only 24 hours, put 100 miles on it. To and back from work and then RIP for the FRS.

Glad to hear they didn't just try to shuv the fixed car on you but are going to replace it. Now I guess the wait begins for the replacement? I am on a wait list at SF Toyota as well. I heard somewhere in between 2-3 months? I'm wanting a whiteout though.

I saw that car...with the shark fin antennae. Did not know that it had an unfortunate history. But thanks, that's good to know especially if someone was planning to buy it, who browses the forum,

wow, well you're going to get the car even quicker than me, mine won't be in until next month. so you get to be one of the few, the proud, the BRZ owners in NorCal who didn't pay over MSRP. I'm curious to see how many days it takes to arrive via truck, keep me posted. :w00t:
