My frs confirmed. Now what?
 

My dealer just called and left me a message stating that my car will be in their first allocation. It's an ultramarine Mt to arrive in june.

He wants to know about any addons re: the 3m paint protect and rear bumper ap... Is any of that stuff worth it?

my dealer sucks...I put down 1k and I have been left in the dark and received no updates!!!!! so mad!!!

The cars we saw at the 1st86 event in Long Beach all had the 3m paint protectors on them. They looked exactly like what you would expect (invisible unless you look really hard). I'm seriously considering those as they seem reasonably priced, plus figure it may give me some negotiating room on the doc "my pocketbook" fees.

No, my dealer sucks. When I called to confirm my place in line the guy on the phone didn't seem to understand that I already had $500 down and a signed right of first refusal agreement. Now I have to go in and explain how things are going to work.

In all honesty my dealer was pretty bad about contacting me. I even went in about 2 weeks ago to see if there is anything new and they had no information for me.

although I do think that last visit made them more proactive about contacting me when the new information came through. since then they called and left me a message to know that their allocation has been confirmed and today to know my car has been confirmed.

2.5weeks left to go, according to my dealer guy haha.

my dealer says I will have the first 1 in chicago and it is on a boat as we speak. here is a photographic along with vin number. enjoy getting your insurance quotes.

Wow. I just called my dealership to get an update. My uncle works there, so I will see what he says.

ugh still nothing from mine, but congrats on getting confirmed

Would this happen to be Santa Monica Scion???!!!?!

Yeah. :)

How did :thumbup:you know? He never answers my texts.

Your uncle just emailed me saying that im the 7th on the list. No info as of yet...i can send you the email. You are before me on the list.

To dookie11
What dealership in SoCal is yours ????

How is it that you have official documentation before any of us first86 people?!
Time to call my dealership. Id like a vin since my car should be on the ground by now. :paddle:

I wonder how many they have been allocated. Will we be in the first batch? That's funny, I am related to him, and yet you know more than I do.

I'm his nephew, and he cant even bump me up the list LOL.

Take this up in PM's so that we don't Hi Jack this thread lol

Now what? Pop open a brewskie and celebrate

I guess it's just because I've been proactive, and the dealer was working with me early to get my car "locked in".

I also got my vin last week:happyanim:. My dealer told me I'll get my car on June 1st or may be eariler. The only problem I have is I don't get the color I really wanted:brokenheart:. I'm getting a firestorm, which is my 3rd choice of color. Anyway, I am happy :happyanim:that I'll get my car soon.

Which dealership? What were your other color choices? I saw you posted about the SC Subaru post. Are you at SC Scion? I still haven't heard anything yet, but I'm supposed to be 3rd on the list there.

Toyota of Pasadena.

I can confirm that the denver region phone number listed above is accurate. They called me the other day and thats what came across on the callerID

Fremont Scion is my dealer. I did put my name on the SC Scion and many other dealers, but none of them call me back. On the other hand, Fremont Scion is very helpfully. Their fleet manager showed me what they are getting in the coming months. He even remembered my name when I dropped by the dealer two months after I put my name on the FR-s.

My color choice are:
1. white
2. blue
3. red

The attachements are what I got last week.

Nice. I should have called them. I thought about it when Capitol blew me off, but went to SC and they took a deposit. Sounds like Fremont was the way to go though. :(

Congrats on getting some serious responsiveness man. If the SC stuff falls through, I'll put my name down at Fremont for whatever scraps they have left with a MT.

Hi is that Santa Cruz scion, My sweetie is the first 86 winner and is getting it form them. there still saying that it will be the last week of May for us. No vin # yet.

Sorry, Steven's Creek, not Santa Cruz.

I called Fremont and talked to the guy you talked to. He's a pretty straight forward guy. I should have gone there first. It sounds like their first car is Firestorm, and it's definitely yours. I told him to call me if they get a white/silver MT FRS cars in, and I'd be down there, cash in hand to drive the car home.

Congrats again man! I'm jealous.

The paint protection film is supposed to be pretty good stuff, but I've never seen it on a vehicle before. See if the dealer has a car on the floor with the film already installed so you can actually see what it looks like.

I saw it on the cars in Long Beach, in fact the FR-S below has it on it. The film had a small Scion logo (clear embossed) on the corner otherwise I would have never seen it. A bit later there was enough dirt the piece on the hood (its about 18 to 24" from the front edge if I remember correctly) you could detect the edge but that was really it. YOu can sort of see the line to the left of the hood. There was a LOT of dirt piled up there that would not normally be.

The side pieces were not detectable at all unless you were really looking for them.

I'm seriously considering it for mine given the price.

Thanks man. You'll get yours soon, too.

I was thinking about adding it, but it wasn't a port option. Maybe it will be a dealer option.

Hawaiian, pkny... Can you 2 find out what ship your car is on if it's already out to sea?

Ha... I'll try, but I'm at work all day tomorrow, and leave for vacation 6am sat morning. Napa here I come.

My dealer told me the ship will arrive on 5/7, so I'll have my car within two weeks unless the corp. holds it until the offical release day.

Basically, this means the 1st shipment for Bay Area will be arrived on next Monday.:w00t:

Talked to my dealer today, the car arrives May 10, I'll pick it up May 12 (I'm out of the country til May 11).

Hey thanks- It sounds like Missy might get hers next week. Sweet!

Just wanted to clarify, was this a First86er's thread?

No. There's a thread with all the First 86'ers names that are known about.
