I think what's annoying me isn't that it'll be 4 months from deposit to delivery, rather that I can see there will be unsold cars that have not started production are going to get built before & delivered to the UK before my car is built.

A total of 263 BRZs registered in the UK as of July 1st 2014.

That's because the orders for those cars were placed a while ago. Just because a particular person hasn't said they want X car with Y options in Z color doesn't mean the dealer hasn't said that. A person ordering a specific car doesn't jump that queue, they just get slotted in as a new order.

'Unsold' cars if not secured by a dealership before arriving in the UK will be put into storage by Subaru UK for immediate supply to a dealer at request. They are speculative builds & have not been requested by a dealership.

I placed my order in October of last year. Initially the delivery date was supposed to be in December.

In December the delivery date had been bumped to January.

In January the delivery date had been bumped to February.

Then it showed up two weeks early. The salesman called and said, "It's here!" I was out of town at the time and had to scramble to get back to sign my loan papers.

So three months doesn't sound bad to me, even by US standards. And who knows, it might come early.

The British are not allowed guns in the U.S. Apparently, we are not allowed to defend ourselves, but a hat would be cool.

... really? That sucks. :-(

I can see why they wouldn't want you to have guns though; last time we clashed you guys caused some serious problems for us.

I think I may have found the problem with your delivery date being in January....

"As soon as we deliver this tractor to Denmark, we'll be back to pick up your BRZ laddie".

I believe the BRZ production schedule needs to fall in line with other models, so they're not made every single day. But when they do, it's done in batches of BRZ models/colors/trims. In other words, they don't make them in the order of when the orders are placed. So that may be the soonest your color/etc will be made. If you picked a different color, your delivery may be sooner or later.

I'm not 100% certain this is exactly how it works, but from what I've read it seems to be the case.

Guys it took FIVE days before I could take delivery of my car when I bought it, and I couldn't even get them to give it to me for anything less than $500 over cost!!!

Sorry I had to...

I am not sure you should trust me with a gun anyway! :)

Here in New England, we still don't have any 2015's, and there's no word on when we're getting any. I don't think we can order 2015's even if we wanted to.

I am so glad the series blue came with everything I wanted, and got it the same week. I don't know what I would do if I had to wait so many months like some of you guys.

In any case it is better to wait some time and get exactly what you are looking for. :mad0259:

takes time to move all that $hit to the wrong side of the car

Is this in the state? I heard some will arriving the end of this month..
