I'm so used to my other cars with reverse cameras it kind of sucks reversing into a park spot with a wall or even my garage has turned into a chore with the FRS I hope there's a discount or something for when it does arrive because they seem to like advertising it as a "safety" thing

This is what I was waiting for but they were moving to slow so I bought a mustang :|

Couple of questions.
How does that work? You go to dealership and put a deposit and they call you when it comes in?

How does financing work if you get it from a credit union?

How much was the deposit?

What does that note say? Do not install front something bracket. License plate?

And finally but most importantly, how does doing this affect your being power? Are you able to negotiate stuff like free upgrades to your warranty or discounted hardware upgrades if it's not even on their lot yet? I mean they aren't worried about getting it off the lot so aren't as likely to deal with you?

Thanks!

Yes the dealer will talk to their District Inventory manager and then put a resevation on the car I want meaning if there isn't one around the Inv. Manager will contact Toyota to make sure the model I want is on the next ship and held just for me.

How does financing work if you get it from a credit union?

Once I get approved the CU will then send the funds to the dealer and all I have to do is sign the papers and drive off. Saves a ton of time. I will get 1.99% since i'm a CU member.

How much was the deposit?

$500 which I'll get back once the car is purchased.

What does that note say? Do not install front something bracket. License plate?

It says Do Not Install front Tag Bracket ie. don't drill holes into my new car.

And finally but most importantly, how does doing this affect your being power?

I am paying the website Pure Price amount

I'm getting an empty canvas, no dealer add ons, just a Blue with a manual. Simple... so I can put the add on's I want to do.

Good questions

[Devante]

Thanks! I meant buying power up there ha. Autocorrect!

My only other question is at what point do you actually ask your bank/credit union for a loan/financing?

Before you walk into the dealers lot.
Find out how much they are willing to finance for you.
(Don't extend to the whole nut. That puts you in a bad place too.)
Having cash up front helps with your own equilibrium.
You don't even need a particular model or make in mind.

If you know what you have behind you first, the dealer has to scramble to find an equal or better deal.
They're on the back foot at that point.

whats the new fking radio display? i want that! Rear cam built in?

I give it 2 months before members start selling it. Im getting sick of my bespoke. Got it free... but pos freezes and stops every time I turn off engine. My iPod is there plugged in, in the middle of a song sticking out, like an old nail in a wall...

As of this year all vehicles sold now are required to have some form of handsfree device for phone calls and backup sensors/camera. The manufacturers are merely offsetting that cost by charging the customer more.

Also, the FR-S/BRZ is so easy to reverse park it's ridiculous. I'm not sure where you live, but the parking spots are so spacious here I can literally get away with only looking at one side/mirror when reverse parking and still be perfectly in line.

Do want the backup camera.

I pre-ordered a GT86 2016 in China and still have no of clue when will it arrive , I'm pretty worrying with a car without backup camera/radar, I don't have a private garage or anything, what I have is a random parking space on the street on near the building i'm living.
It is really difficult to parking by approaching to the walls or near the flower bed etc, I need to really to minimise the distance as there should be spaces left for pedestrians and others vehicles to pass by, so it become really difficult when it turns dark without a backup camera/radar.

When I graduate I plan on getting a FR-S, hoping for a power bump of some kind within the next 2 years... if not will probably just get one used.
