Question for you fine folks. I have my name on one but the dealer has no information on it except for a late July-August delivery. Is that normal? I see that many of you have VIN numbers and all the jazz so I'm just a little confused.

I'm on that boat...

My dealer said he had little experience ordering a car. But after placing a deposit, he called me back a couple of days later with a VIN number, knew it was being built at the factory, and due to arrive mid-July.

I should add they he was due to receive 2 MT's. I reminded him that I wanted an AT, and was able to juggle something around so that he received an AT for me. Then I placed the deposit.

If GT86 were offered in NA, this series would not be even in the radar.

Well damn. I was thinking it was going to be here earlier.

As a limited edition, do you guys think these FR-S's will have extraordinary resale value down the line?
(I'm not talking about bank, just noticeably more than a regular 2013 FR-S, even factoring the initial higher cost...)

Related: do you think people will mod these as much as they would a regular FR-S?

If the Toyota GT-86 Limited whad been available in North America, I would have been all over that. As is, the only way I'd switch over from the BRZ is if the FR-S came as a convertible in Limited trim or if Toyota finally scrapped Scion and released the convertible as a Toyota (also in a Limited trim).

Otherwise I'll just swap my front end and badges and call it a day!

Stopped by the dealer on the way to the office this morning, but nothing showed up last night or early this morning.

Another nerve-wracking day of waiting for my phone to ring, with all my paperwork handy, ready to go at any moment.... really, any moment now.........

A higher trim package just means you can ask for a little bit more money because the car has a relatively more appeal. That being said, it took me a while to sell my 2011 WRX Limited because it was deserving of its price, but people wanted to pay Base WRX money for it.

You have to be able to sell people on the extra features. It's why so many people say, "Meh. I don't need this or that, just this." Then when a car is used and is a higher trim, the price point is closer to what they want, but they STILL have to justify paying extra for the features they weren't crazy about before. Even with 36k miles and two years of age my WRX Limited was still worth the price of a 2013 WRX Base.

On the other hand my 2001 RS Coupe, 2005 STI and 2008 Forester Sports XT sold much, much quicker because they were fairly unique in their range. A WRX has it tough when there's 3 trims and two variants available (sedan and hatch).

The Series 10 FR-S will still be relatively unique because the basic FR-S comes with so little and there are only so many Series 10 anyways.

Just my input and experience.
