Frustrated, pissed-off, tired of waiting for an FR-S

[Propaganda]

I guess I just got lucky. Went to one dealer, they said a 6mo. wait minimum with a $3k markup..... Turned around and went to another, got a whiteout mt in a few days short of a month

eBay or autotrader and ship it in. Or have the dealership transport it. They are out there. Don't give up..

I did this last weekend. My BRZ order got pushed back to November, so I went searching. Found one in Colorado almost exactly with what I ordered. Bonus, I got to drive it through the mountains, and the break-in was done by the time I got home.

Shipping is an option as well..

You have to be willing to travel a bit. We wanted a BRZ but didn't want to wait, about 10 minutes and a few phone calls we found exactly what we wanted 1.5 hours away just sitting on the lot for MSRP. We go pick it up this afternoon =) (BRZ Limited DGM 6MT)

If it's any encouragement, the first dealer I went to told me the same thing. Saying if I didn't buy the ones they had I wouldn't be getting one until next year, only 2 per month, etc.

I started emailing around to other dealers and found a dealer two hours away that let me order an FR-S the way I wanted, and got it to me in 2.5 months. Ordered on June 1, got it Aug 10. Before giving up, make sure to look around at other dealers outside your immediate area.

I've been calling all 5 dealers within a 50 mile radius since June. Same story we only get a couple a month. I'll take anything but an auto or Firestorm (the bright red pull me over color.)

When you work 70 hrs a week you don't have time to camp out at the dealer or drive to friggin Maine.

Now the dealers are basically saying to just buy a Tc as the 2013 MY is basically sold out, none of them around here expect more than 2 per month.

Basically been waiting for 4 years for this car and it materializes to be a marketing ploy to generate "enthusiam" for the Scion brand, get people in the dealer, but not sell you one for MSRP. Switch and bait you to a tC. Most of the cars being sold at this point are going to "investors" who turn them around for MSRP+$4k.

A Miata looks better and better by the day, but god I hate rag-tops.

There are a few available in VA. Just extend your cars.com search.
