Talked to Leith yesterday. The salesman stated they could have a few starting today to as late as Friday. Also, like rbrtndrws stated above, Fred Anderson claims they'll get theirs on or after June 1.

charlotte should have several FRS in today ill update the forum once i get them on the phone

Scott Clark's Toyota just called me and said they had an Automatic FR-S rolling off a truck!

Someone better go grab it before they play with the rev limiter! Think of the well-being of the FR-S for goodness sake!

ESBjiujitsu · 05-23-2012, 11:55 AM

did they say its available to test drive?? going to go tonight!!!!

rbrtndrws · 05-23-2012, 12:02 PM

No idea, he didn't say. If it was a 6MT i would have been on my way to Charlotte by now

DantKR · 05-23-2012, 02:04 PM

Fred called me that they will have one today around 5-6 depending on how the truck travels.

That's Raleigh right?

fred anderson didn't get their's in by 6. truck driver's estimate was bad, apparently. one of their sales guys is supposed to call me when it's unloaded. either way, i'll be test driving one in raleigh by friday - either Apex, Leith, or Fred Anderson...

DantKR · 05-24-2012, 07:52 AM

Same, bad estimates are bad.

ESBjiujitsu · 05-24-2012, 08:19 AM

Well I have some pictures to share

Scion on South Blvd in Charlotte received in a black FRS and will have 2 more this weekend. Unfortunately i actually got there before the cars inspection so I could not test drive but they will be calling me when its available today. I did get to take a lot of pictures get in the car, start it up, rev it (not to the limiter as some might..... lol

)and play with the bespoke system.

nathanR · 05-24-2012, 08:21 AM

Leith Scion just called. They've got an AT on the ground right now. Talked to "Allen" on the phone and he seemed like a pleasant guy, although he's already trying to sell me on the benefits of an AT, heh. I'm tentatively penciled in for 1:15 this afternoon to go check it out. Not really interested in the AT, but at least I'll get a perspective of size, interior room, etc.

If anyone else is down, meet me at 1:15ish @ Leith. I'll be driving my raggedy white NX

Dunno how long I'll be sticking around though since I'm burning some vaykay time to leave from work.

edit: so, um....nobody buy it please until after I get a chance to look at it.kekekekeke

MattR · 05-24-2012, 08:39 AM
