FR-S wait time?
 

How long did you guys wait for your FR-S before it arrived? I was made to pay a deposit of $500 to be put on a wait list and was told around 2 months wait time. It's been a little over 2 months now and I just called in and was told it will probably be another 2 months x_X.

What color and transmission option did you guys put and how long did you wait?

I requested a manual whiteout.

That sounds frustrating... I just called a few dealers(3 to be exact) and one happened to have one that met my preferences headed their way. From the time I called the dealer, it took 5 days before I drove it off the lot. The other two dealers I called were on backorder for at least a few weeks, so I got very lucky, obviously.

I waited about a month. Raven MT.

i waited 3 weeks after ordering and never put 500 down... whiteout frs mt..

5 weeks firestorm MT

Still waiting, 3 months ago put 2500 down too. Whiteout MT audio upgrade. Was told 6-8 weeks. Approaching 14 weeks, no vin.

Dealer has no info or updates. Scion canada doing as good a job as they can keeping everyone updated, by not knowing themselves.

I put a $500 pre-order for an Ultramarine MT last week. Dealer said 2 months.

I think I waited about a month for my Whiteout AT FRS. The dealership was slated to get it in and no one had claimed it, so I reserved it with $1000 (fully refundable if I changed my mind once the car arrived). It was supposed to take 3 weeks but the port date kept getting pushed back.

I'm still really grateful I waited A month instead of MONTHS!!

Had to wait 2 months and 2 weeks.

About two weeks ago I called a dealer in a nearby town and told him I was looking for a firestorm, manual transmission. He told me there was one coming around 9-17 that no one had claimed yet. I put down my credit card deposit and it's not that far away.

None. I called a few dealerships in my area one day and found one in the color I wanted.

Regardless of what your dealer is telling you, Toyota/Scion is not taking any "sold orders" on the FR-S. That means the dealers have to wait until they are allocated an FR-S, and if it's not the color/transmission you want, they have to try to trade it with another dealer before it hits the port. Allocations are based of sales/history of dealership, so if you have a smaller dealer, you may not get one for a while...

My first dealer had me wait for 2 months before I got fed up (because they originally told me they could just place the order with Scion). I started looking around and ended up driving 9 hours to pick up the color I wanted.

I suggest you start looking around at other dealers until you find what you are looking for, unless you don't mind waiting.

I was on the wait list for June 1st (Ultramarine) and they said it would be out the boat on the 21st.... a few days later, they called me saying that one guy didnt get approve by the bank =D and i was next so i got it on June 9th ..... thank u random guy! I gave $2000 in advanced and my Ultramarine was waiting for me at the dealership with a huge sign saying "SOLD"-do not touch.... best day ever !!!!!!

I think you should put more money .... and cross ur fingers..... cuz the whiteout FR-S its too hard to get ... high in demand ... Good Luck! :thumbup:
