Hey folks,
Just put my deposit down at the local dealership and what a pain in the ass. Nobody really knew what was going on and the scion sales manager told me that I was the 6th person to come in with an email saying they were one of the 86. I asked him if he was sure about that since 6 people out of 86 in the US were all scheduled to have their 86s delivered to this very dealership, and of course being completely pompous he said it was what it was and then he sent me away with another clueless sales person to take the deposit and assured me they'd let me know when/if my car came in.
Not wanting to spend time arguing with him, I did the paperwork and got on the horn with Scion corporate. After a decently long wait time I got in touch with 'Venus' and she was able to get everything straightened out. I ended up working with the main Toyota sales manager of the place and he congratulated me, made sure all the paperwork was in order and told me that he was sorry for the earlier idiocy I had to put up with and that I'd be well taken care of from here on out.
I'm definitely glad it is over and I'll keep my spot as one of the first to get one in Texas, but I think the short timeline of the promotion made for a tight window of communication between corporate and at the very least my local dealership and that definitely made for a lackluster experience for a 'winner' of a promotion.
