Dealer just called me
 

I put a small deposit down for my SWP BRZ a few weeks ago. Sales guy told me 6-12 weeks. Ok, not a super patient guy but wtf why not.

Dealer calls me today, gives me some rundown on Subaru and production rates or some bullshit I wasn't really paying attention at that point. Then he starts apologizing, trying to blow me thru the phone. Finally he gets to the point...my car won't be here until MAY! :mad0260:WTF? MAY...are you kidding me? May will turn into July then the 2014 will be rolling out.

Now, I want this car but 8 months later? As mentioned before, I am not a patient guy. Really tempted to bag the whole purchase at this point. He said I can have my deposit back (yeah, no shit)...

This sounds like BS to me. :bs: Thoughts? I am calling another dealer!

Buy an frs!

This is why I didn't preorder. I found the car I wanted that was actually at a dealership (several states away) and made the trip to pick it up. I was able to get my car in mid June, but if I had ordered a car at the same time that I started looking for the one I have now, I'd still be waiting.

He doesn't want to be a loser...

:respekt:

Yeah search for a car on autotrader or cars.com. That's what I did and found what I wanted.

Subaru has production delays on pretty much all cars, it's hard to get any vehicle which is not on the lot within 3-4 months right now.

Get your deposit back - look for an FR-S in your general area. Here in Austin they told me 4 months until I'd get one. Made a few calls around my area and am picking mine up this Sat. in Oklahoma.

Don't stay set on a particular dealer, with a little effort you shouldn't have trouble finding one!

Didn't someone just put together a listing of all the in-stock BRZ in the nation?

There's no better reason for a roadtrip than buying a fantastic new sports car!
:burnrubber:

Same here. Check out dealerships within the distance you're willing to drive, you may get lucky.

What dealer was this? Try Carter, I got mine there.

I would assume this is for the 2014 model. If you'll remember, 2013's started hitting the show rooms in May 2012. I think its been a few weeks, maybe months, since they said no more 2013 models will be preordered. Good luck with the wait, mine took 6+ months and ordered in March.

And thats why i got whatever color they had. That.. and my old car was resuscitated just to live a few more days.

Yea, Took my deposit back from my first dealer, 2 days later got what I wanted from another(had to be an Automatic,wife), heard the same Bla Bla Bla, Limited... production #'s, % automatics... Obviously this other dealer didn't read the same rule book.

That's what I did I found almost the exact one I wanted (it had the chrome strips, fuel door cover...) it was just under 3 hrs away I got it Sept. 1
