First time posting on thread!
Saw a listing for a Midnight Blue FR-S at Marin Scion on the 1st and sent in an inquiry. Got a call back later that day and they said the car wasn't spoken for (which the guy sounded perplexed) and that he would look into why. Called back again 15 minutes later and said the car was stuck at port with some starter issue and would not come in until/if fixed. Would call back....nothing yet.
The Galaxy Blue Silica one at Maita Subaru has been there for over a week. I had been speaking with the internet manager for almost a month on getting a WRX, but to let me know if any BRZ came in stock. Finally got all my ducks in a row and went last Wednesday because I was quoted 25,600 and 28,000 for WRB WRX and the GBS. When I got there I was told the offers were no longer valid and was instead offered 26,600 (before tax/lisc.) and they were asking for 30k for the BRZ. I offered 28,200 and they still turned me down.
Got a call from Fairfield Subaru on the 9th saying they had a silver BRZ in stock and were asking for 27k i believe. I called back around 7 and said I would be in first thing in the morning. Called at 9am and they said the car had been sold (OK, that one was my fault).
Got a call from Toyota Vallejo last Friday saying there was a red FR-S in stock and if I was still interested because the person who was ahead of me on the wait list didn't want red. I said sure, I could always paint the car later, and said I would be there in 45 minutes or so (gotta wait for my ride). 10 minutes later got a callback, the person ahead of me changed there mind and was coming in. Would call me again if they backed out.6
Got an email yesterday from Toyota Concord saying a red AT and white MT FR-S were in stock and it's a "race for first come first serve." (Glad to know being #1 on the wait-list secures my spot -__-). Called them up and arranged to be there ASAP (live about 50 mins away). When I was 20 minutes out they called and said someone else came in and was filling out the paperwork. So not to bother coming in.
Got a call yesterday from Vacaville Toyota because I saw they had a WHITEOUT FR-S in stock, but found out it was on hold for someone else. Manager said that they were having trouble getting a hold of him and if they didn't hear back from him by this morning they would call me. I called this morning and as of 9.30 they had not heard from him so I said I was on my way. Got there a little before 10 and they pointed out some guy sitting at a desk talking to a finance officer. Apparently this was the guy they had been trying to contact for 2 days, and he just HAPPENED to show up minutes before I arrived.
Has anyone had this much problems trying to secure this car? I'm on a wait-list at 5 different dealerships for a FR-S and 1 for the BRZ.
P.S. Now that I can finally post I can list any places I find. I'm kinda limited in how far out I can go to get one, so I'll just put up everything I find in the hopes you all don't run into the same problems I have. Good luck everyone!
