Those of you that ordered your FR-S - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Yeah I ordered mine on June 19, with no definite ETA except that it may be months.

Ebay · 07-16-2012, 01:42 AM

I ordered mine on March 20th ad picked it up on June 22nd. Toyota plans to sell 20,000 2013 model FR-S. In June 2,500 were delivered, I'm guessing that inventory is depleted. I do know that aftermarket accessories are expensive, depending on the price of the 5 axxis model, it may be worth waiting for? Dealers have a "pecking order" (sales volume...years of Toyota sales), find the dealer with most clout and they'll be able to deliver faster...in STL area some got 5 FR-S initially and others got 1. I doubt that dealers are going to trade them away!

Good luck, any wait is worth it!

How did you manage to wait a week to go get your car? Were you out of town or something?
When my dealer called to tell me mine was in, I was there in 15 minutes.

FRkane · 07-16-2012, 11:08 AM

Six to eight weeks is what I was informed on mine. For some reason they are having a tough time getting manual cars.

Nevermore · 07-16-2012, 01:58 PM

Depends on the type of order I suppose. Mine is kind of a special order and it's been almost 12 weeks. I ordered it on 4/26 and haven't heard anything yet. I was quoted 3 months, but it looks like it'll be longer.

Erroneous · 07-16-2012, 03:07 PM

Just FYI, I contacted a bunch of car dealerships when I was first looking, and everything was spoken for (about a month ago). Now those same dealerships are contacting ME and asking if I'm still in the market for an FR-S.

Demand seems to be coming down somewhat. I'm in the SE, YMMV.

where did you order yours? i got mine at bredeman and they said becasue they are a high volume dealer, they typically get more FR-S's. Not sure how true that is, but i did get mine within three weeks.

Definitely. If I would've been stubborn, I would still be waiting for my first color choice (Hot Lava). But I am impatient, and went with my second color choice, since I could get it much sooner.

Schaumburg Toyota / Scion. They are a pretty high volume dealer but seems like all the one's they are getting in are A/T.

Well I'm not talking just color. The way I ordered my car is built to order, so it has nothing to do with inventory numbers or availability. I just have to wait for mine to be built and shipped.

Texas BRZ · 07-16-2012, 10:01 PM

After reading some of your posts, I should be thankful... I ordered my FR-S from a volume dealer, and the approximate wait time seems to be about three solid weeks since they are giving me an ETA of early - late next week. Dealer was very open to the way I wanted to order mine.

Synack · 07-16-2012, 10:10 PM

Bought mine today. It's so flipping hard to get the one you want and there were like 13 people on a list at this dealership. They had my car, Whiteout 6MT with BeSpoke, but they marked it up $3000. I bought the full Five Axis body kit + wheels and it came out to $34,900. Way too expensive if you ask me. But I wanted/needed it and this deal was VERY hard to come by being that these things fly off the shelves. I got a 3.45% APR so it wasn't 100% awful but I still got ripped on that markup. I did however get a recent college grad discount. Oh well, I FRICKING LOVE THIS THING!
