FR-S ready for sale and delivery on monday?
 

As of 5 minutes ago , FB page for Scion Canada says

Nice! Now we just need train to deliver the cars :)

Finally!

sick lets hope, i dont have to wait a month for a car.

I was told today from my rep that its just a few more days, and my car was already in Toronto just waiting to be delivered to Ottawa. Depending if your car is in the first batch for your dealer, it's probably already in Toronto (if the destination is Toronto).

Mine is probably isnt in the first batch, cause i put my downpayment in today.

JFYI Oakville Toyota has a red MT FRS sitting on their lot and as far as I know, it's not spoken for. In fact, last I asked, they had no deposits and they have more cars coming.

FRS in Oakville
 

The FRS in Oakville is an automatic, I had the opportunity to drive it. What an amazing car! As far as deposits? I put one down over a month ago, I already have the VIN just need to wait patiently.:burnrubber:

The silver automatic was a demo making the rounds at all dealers. The red is manual (I didn't look but that's what they said). And I was there less than a month ago (May 10), they had no deposits and said they have a red (mt) and orange (at) cars coming that aren't spoken for.

I'm hoping the cars arrive today and we could have them today or tomorrow, but not sure when they are arriving.

I will be doing drive-bys past Bel-Air (my dealer) and Mendes (5 mins from my office) just to see if they have perhaps arrived.
Yes, I am now stalking our dealers, lol.

However, I do believe that once the delivery arrives, I will get a phone call from my rep (providing he is in). He knows I am very eager to get my car.
If I hear anything, I'll report back.

Great! If you see a red FR-S at Mendes, I'm going to be leaving the office right away! :D

Hmmm, maybe set up a web cam on a pole beside the dealership...

Yours auto or manual?

I will be stalking err stopping by mendes and tony grahams this afternoon as well. I fugure if the trucks are loaded today then they should arrive at some point this afternoon or evening probably too late to get the car registered. The last time I was at mendes I had asked when trucks arrive and they indicated at any time of day or night. There was no set schedule. I am thinking at some point today or Saturday they will be here and processed on Monday. The good news for us Mendes buyers is there is license bureau is right across the street.

Updating the Ottawa FR-S thread.

Manual, just like yours. We'll have to do some mirror image style photos.

Sticky tires have been sitting in the spare bedroom for a week. The timing hasn't worked out to run the car in the first MCO Solo2 event, but everything should be in place for the next one. I'll take some time off work to rack up those break-in miles!

I ordered a FR-S from Oakville identical to the one that they are demoing right now, but they said they needed a demo :( They told me mid-June for my car, is this changing now to the 4th?

FR-S will be running on the roads in GTA next week. Owners' manual issue was fixed.

You might be happier with a new car than a demo unit -- who knows how the demo was treated?

Anyway, when did you submit your order to the dealer? If it was just in the past few days then it probably wouldn't be part of their initial shipment on/around June 4th. The dealer is probably thinking they'll get a second batch of cars in mid-June.

Ya I wouldn't want a demo, they should've given it to me when it was new :) I submitted my order early May

NOOO its too soon! HAHHA

Man I cannot wait! My dealer told me 2 days to PDI once the car gets here. Would Saturday count as a day?

PDI should only take 2 hours MAX. really?! 2 days?!

Yeah, it shouldn't take 2 days. Same day or next unless you are adding options.

oh shit! Don't they semi detail it, drive it around to test it out and fill it up?

Man if it takes just 2 hours to PDI then I could potentially bring it home tonight if it shows up early enough.

So if your car left on the 31. Is it not more than possible that it will be at the dealership today. I can't see it taking more than 24 hours to offload all the vehicles on the truck. I am thinking each truck holds 12 cars. I think they are giving you the absolute worst case scenario ( other than the truck getting written off in an accident en route) to ensure no more anxiety and a nice surprise call on Monday.

PS. I have heard nothing from Mendes.

Dealer here, I got an automatic released here but I can still see my production very much still at ' port of entry ' as well as a few dealers, wonder if that means we get our stock next week and deliveries start :w00t:

Messed around with the automatic yesterday, fun fun car

Let's hope they are erring on the conservative side just so they aren't building up false expectations.

Let's see -- Tony Graham is getting 10 cars or so I think @ 2.5 hours prep per car = 25 hours divided between a couple of technicians = about a day and a half.

Random internet forum math can't be wrong. :D Would be nice if they prepped and released the cars in the order the deposits were made.

I passed by the dealer and got to sneak into the preparation bay. Gabriel received 2 cars I think today which are doing prep. was amazed to see how much work something as simple as the mud guards took. 2 technicians and a bit of black melted sludge to finish the job, it didn't look that simple. Not a lot of them have ever seen a car like this and a few people were having a good look at the thing to make sure everything was done right for training purposes .
They have a silver manual which is receiveing a drop kit, shark fin and a few goodies form Greddy I've been sworn to secrecy about by Oren.

Hmmm, my receipt says the 12th, but I drove the red one on Tuesday night and its automatic. Originally they were getting the silver but I asked if they could swap it with something else, ended up with the blue. I tried calling my sales person but, once they have your money its difficult to get them to return your calls. As of now all I know that I will be getting the car within 2 weeks.

Port of entry, as in Vancouver or Mtl?

Ive worked at dealers before, both in sales And service. The reason PDIs cant get done quickly is because the service side is doing their own thing. Salesmen usually have to bug the piss out of the service managers to get PDIs on queue. Service doesnt give a crap about PDIs. Im guessing with a special car like this they will give it priority over other cars. But dont expect every tech to drop what they're doing and do a PDI. A good tech will make more money doing other jobs , so no one is chomping at the bit to do one. A moderately busy service shop could easily take 3 or 4 days to PDI a dozen cars. A shop with nothing going on? 3 techs could do 12 cars in 3 or 4 hours if they were forced to.

I just picked up my black M6 from Weitzes this morning. Woo hoo!

Congrats, put some pics up of your sweet new ride.

alot of ppl in calagry who preordered theres months ago just got theres yesterday as well, I put a deposit down last week they have yet to order my car @ country hills in calgary, was told they would order mon-tues and ill know more than

More like vancouver than mtl.... Mine was on rail and that seems to be the step "after" port of entry....

OH SH*T. Just got the mess from my salesman that my car have arrived ! Maybe I'll get it tonight ! DAMN can't WAIT.
