Black in 6 months plus or orange now - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Rakino · 07-16-2012, 10:45 AM

I have a black gts on order but think / fear i will have to wait 6 months or more for delivery. Today i found an orange gts on the lot in a regional town. I'm pretty ready to buy it. Delivery next week to melbourne or delivery versus who knows when? Questions this raises though:

Orange doesnt seem that popular. It was my third choice. Do any orange owners regret their purchase?

Can i get my deposit back from the dealer? They said i could when i signed up but was that a sales pitch.

Also, i'm still thinking of keeping the black (manual) on order and selling the orange when the black arrives. Given the 86 might go up in price and the current demand does anyone think the depreciation will be almost nothing? I guess my girlfirend could have the orange one. Hmm matching 86s. To weird?

Your thoughts are welcomed.

Get Orange now

. I think the orange will be a highly sought after colour eventually.

JiB · 07-16-2012, 11:02 AM

agreed. now is better than 6month plus. vinyl wrap if you are unhappy with the colour

benoh · 07-16-2012, 11:03 AM

is the orange manual?
i totally want to snap it up :P

black is not a smart choice.... You will not regret if you buy the orange obe

Z86 · 07-16-2012, 11:14 AM

Seriously... Every colour 86 looks frickin amazing. Get what you can and enjoy it NOW.

Wow. Lots of quick replies. Thanks. Think that made my mind up. The orange is an auto. I didnt mention it because i didnt want to get into the whole auto v man thing. Personally i like them both and think they are both execllent. I'm kind of indifferent. One thing i would recommend is ringing around all the dealers. Some were very fourth coming with information. I called about 7 dealers all over australia bewteen 5.30 and 7pm tonight. Got an option on a red auto gts manual for august (sold in ten mins before i could decide), another orange gts auto but with aero, possible option on a black demo for august (waiting to hear) and this one.

I'll post a picture that'll help make up your mind almost immediatly... But you'll have to wait till tomorrow morning

FT-86GOD · 07-16-2012, 11:53 AM

I say wait.... Sure u can get it wrapped but some have regretted the colours they rushed into.... U know u want black and orange was ur 3rd choice not 2nd.... LOL.....

Its ur decision and if u think u'll be happy with it get it... Im just playing it safe with my answer..... Wait for what u want....... Get black......

Rakino · 07-16-2012, 12:05 PM

The more i look at orange the more it grows on me. Still i can justify anything at the moment to get it early. Im considering seriously getting the orange but keeping the black on order. Then i can decide later to sell and change colour. This way i dont have to wait and i get my choice. But will i lose a lot on depreciation. My feeling is i wont.

I thought the Hot Lava looked awesome in person, and was definitely my second choice. Go for it!
