Dear Mr Bailey,

Thank you for your recent email, received by the Toyota Customer Experience Centre.

We are pleased to hear of your interest in the new upcoming Toyota FT-86.

We recommend to regularly visit the Toyota website for any updates.

Please accept our apologies for previously being advised that a brochure would be forwarded to you. Regrettably, we are unable to forward a brochure at this stage, as is not available until the vehicle is released into the market.

If you already have an existing relationship with a Toyota Dealer, you can find their contact details through our website.

Subject: Pre-ordering FT-86

Hey,

I am wanting to express my full interest in pre-ordering an FT-86.

But before I go ahead with that would like to know some details.

Such as a ball park figure for the car.

What feature might be coming with it.

What options will be available.

Main one I want it price.

Thanks heaps if you can help.

Regards,
email i sent today.

MiguelAE86 09-08-2011 09:40 PM
Uh oh. Can someone predict US price from that? It better be 15k-20k lower than that! lol

Slide 09-08-2011 09:43 PM
it would be 40% cheaper that that for the US my guess.

This is the same price as the MX5 in Australia!!!

The whole time they have been saying this will be a affordable sports car... I would say this isn't affordable i was hoping 35k fully loaded drive away!

Boy was I dreaming!

pr0j 09-08-2011 09:54 PM
boo, i agree, that is not what i would consider 'affordable', mostly because i may not be able to afford it :(

I can but i don't think it matches the 25k they aimed for in the USA!!+

I always new it was going to be more then 25k but not close to double!! fuck!!!

SUB-FT86 09-08-2011 10:42 PM
So it will probably be $23,500 in the USA? Same price as a mx5

MiguelAE86 09-08-2011 10:45 PM
I'm praying that it's 45% less than $39,999 = $21,999 Which is more in line with the Mustang Base! Besides, at the base Miata price of $23,500 i think people would just say "meh, i'll just go buy a mustang V6 with the performance package for $24,000-ish and call it a day.

So: Toyota! Magical Starting price is $21,999 ! :party0030:

Buggy51 09-09-2011 12:23 AM

Yeah, didn't they say low-mid 30's to start with?

Slide 09-09-2011 02:30 AM
That is what I was looking at too!!!

Slide 09-09-2011 02:30 AM

Slide 09-09-2011 02:36 AM
I have gotten two replies from other Toyota Dealers now.

Quote:
Hi Scott,
Thanks for your enquiry on the FT-86.
At this point in time there is very little information available for this new model.
It is due for release next year but the price range and due arrival dates have not been confirmed as yet.
I will place you on the register for launch information and as updates come to hand we will pass them on.

Good morning Scott,
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the FT-86. At this stage we have very little information other than the car will be released some time next year.
Toyota have not given any hint as to features or pricing.
If it’s okay with you I will keep your details on file and let you know as soon as we receive more information.
Kind regards,
So which one is telling the lies?

Type[R]+ 09-09-2011 02:39 AM
Yeah, I hope $43k is just highballing guess! Drop $10k and it'll be good.
$43k? No f***ing way!

I pretty much told him that with nicer words and haven't got a reply back :P

Type[R]+ 09-09-2011 03:02 AM
$43k??? That doesn't even come close to the whole cheap arse '86 theme!

sneaky 09-09-2011 03:19 AM
this is sh!t news :'( pfffft $43k

70NYD 09-09-2011 03:52 AM
As I said in the other thread. It's bs. The dealer is talking out of their ass and don't know shit. Dealers never know shit prior to vehicle release except for very certain exceptions

Slide 09-09-2011 04:00 AM
So you still think there is hope for 35k ?

Type[R]+ 09-09-2011 04:08 AM
Yeah, there better be hope lol!

70NYD 09-09-2011 04:19 AM
I think we won't know nothing untill official word or at least a few months prior to Australian release, untill then there is no point pulling hair out and growing grays over rumors, speculations, and dodgy salesman

farugah 09-09-2011 05:34 AM
anything over 40k for base and im out, I dont care if it farts rainbows thats too much.

church 09-09-2011 05:40 AM
43k! thats more than a golf gti/wrx, that's a joke!

ft86cbx 09-09-2011 06:07 AM
This is irrelevant as I would guess that dealer is just having a best guess.

Reality is they don't know and the price could be anything. I don't see any news here :iono:

LordGoofus 09-09-2011 09:03 AM
lmfao. This is what toyota calls "affordable"? Oh well, makes my job easier.. off I go to my local Subaru dealer for a 2nd hand STI...

Are you guys serious? Of course $43k is Australian pricing. The USD$23,190 MX-5 for example costs AUD$51,438 over there.
http://www.mazda.com.au/Vehicles/MX-5/Pricing.aspx

USA =/= World in case any of you hasn't noticed. Be thankful that you live in a country with extremely low car taxes.

By "a country with extremely low car taxes" I was talking about the US of A. Thought it was obvious...

70NYD 09-10-2011 02:54 AM
Prices of cars/anything are dependent on the local Economy, and shipping. With Australians earning much more than Americans on average, Australia having absolutely NO manufacturing capabilities for the automotive industry(driving on the other side of the world doesnt help) and being a fucking island, ofcourse everything here is more expensive, including cars..

Type[R]+ 09-10-2011 03:02 AM
We get absolutely screwed on price, but our toyotas are only about a extra 1/4 - 1/3, meaning if we paying $40k, you guys can expect around $30k. :cry:

And if they want to charge $40k, that is instant fail due to the other 'better' cars we have available at that price.

Levi 09-10-2011 08:24 AM
It is not possible to compare prices of the United States, of Europe, of Australia and of Singapore. For the US I think it still will be around 20.000 $ but for us in EU it will come closer to 30.000 €.

LOL

Golf GTI is $39,990 RETAIL price, but drive away is 45K, WITHOUT any OPTIONS.... Ideal OPTIONED model drive away is 50K.



And Thats what I'm afraid of.... basically the market here in Oz is expecting a "AWESOME HANDLING" car that LOOKS "AWESOME"... but ONLY willing to pay the price of a High End Corolla or a Mid-Spec Camry.

This is merely a DREAM.

I actually am surprise if its released at 39,990 AUD, then Drive away price is 43K.... thats NOT BAD.

If someone ask me if I want a sporty car that's under 50K.... and I have the FT-86, GTI, WRX, Megane RS, Lancer GSR to choose from.... I'd more likely to pick the FT-86.... assuming the POWER is ATLEAST 150kW (200HP).


With the WRX as a very close 2nd and Megane at 3rd.


We have to keep remembering that the Sylvia (S15) was released at around 45K-50K and that was Turbo 180kW (250hp~260hp).... how do you expect a 150kW (assumed) 2011 Model Sports car to be under 40K... is beyond logic.

Toyota pricing it same or close to that of Mazda MX-5 (Miata) is a FAIR decision.

370Z is 70K AUD drive away, RX-8 is 55K AUD drive away etc..

FT-86 is still a good 15-20K cheaper.... for a better looking car that is lighter and more responsive to the driver.... less power, but also LESS weight.

Zgrinch 09-11-2011 09:44 PM
I tend to agree with airmax. I think they will price it just below base price for a Z, which the base Z coupe is $31,450. So, I see this car's base starting price around 28,500 and fully loaded going for 36,500.

No way fully decked out ride will be less than 33k

So you'd be happy paying $40k+ for a 2wd impreza? :iono:
