Has anyone bought another car as a result of the change in delivery

Had a 86 GTS pushed back from August delivery to December. Unfortunately couldn't wait the extra months. I ended up buying a brand new WRX.

Have a GTS on order, have no idea when it will be delivered, no one seems to be able to give me an answer, may be May 2013. Looking at the new Focus ST, how ever I am told there will be a tricale of them until 2013, so that may just be as long to wait, may look at a WRX or a VW GTI. Not sure what to do yet

If your considering a vw gti wait for end of this year / next year where new make comes out, looks better bit quicker but wait 3-6 months for it.. I waited 4 months for mine 2 years ago..

However with that wait you may as well wait for the 86...
Depends on your need or want tho of a new vehicle at this time...
Just my view

Looked at some M3s, I hope the dealer isn't reading this but I found him very rude despite the prices being a lot better than private cars I've seen.

I told him I had cash, looking at cancelling my 86 order and he kinda just looked at me funny and asked me why I wanted a Toyota in the first place.... at that stage I thanked him for his time and left.

i think TMCA needs to do some SECRET SHOPPERS work to deal with the rudness of some of the dealers.. the way i see it this car is going to sell, so SOME of the dealers jsut dont give a shit..
i didnt cancel my order, i didnt even make one after reading a few things here (and a few other things wrt the fit and finish of the car i have seen 1st hand) so i kept my rx8

You better go in the dealership and place your deposit for it now or you won't get it in 2015

If you really want an 86 you can find GT's all over the place. Just cant be picky with colour
