Just got my VIN
 

Hi everyone,

I placed an order for an FR-S on June 14th and I just received my VIN today. and I was told the car is still in Japan... any ideas on what that translates to in terms of possible delivery ETA? I'm thinking 2 months at this rate.. anyone know better?

How on earth did you get your VIN so fast? I ordered June 1st and no VIN yet. Which dealer did you order from?

I ordered mine on June 20, have not received a VIN yet but was told that all orders go in on Monday's and that i will get a VIN this week. The dealership says the car will be here (Edmonton,AB) in 5 weeks from Japan. I am very doubtful that the car will make it here by then but the dealership is very confident that it will. *Fingers crossed*

:paddle:I placed my order on may 8th and haven't heard anything yet....

Ordered from Woodbine Toyota. I've been trying to check in often.. not sure if that has something to do with it. Also, the colour matters too... For whats its worth I've ordered a Firestorm 6MT.

Just FYI, I put my order on a Raven 6spd on June 18th (Yorkdale Scion in Toronto), on June 19th I got an email from their people with an image attached from their order status system (some inventory control web page on the toyota secure portal site) that showed the car was at the port in Vancouver and that included a VIN on it and a bunch of other misc information.

They seemed to think car would be in the GTA about two weeks from then (so, perhaps late this week, early next). We'll see what actually happens.

lol, you couldn't wait for the group buy.

Thats nice to hear, i was told early july from my sales guy.

nope.. :(

it looks like either way I'm waiting a long time.

which dealer did u go to?

Woodbine

If my experience is any indication, 2 months sounds right-ish. I ordered on April 17th, got my VIN on may 12th, the car arrived in port last week of May, left there who knows when, and has been sitting in a lot not too far from my dealer for over a week now awaiting a truck ride to them. Eff! I hope things go more smoothly for you. On the bright side, you got your VIN in half the time it took to get mine, and I had a 9 day rail strike to suck up as well.

I ordered same day same dealership in late afternoon. Got my VIN June 21, also showing vehicle at port of entry.

When my vehicle was at port of entry, it was another 3 weeks before I got it, since they had to reroute trains due to the strike
