BRZ delivery dates brought forward - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Seems that all builds have been sped up, I was quoted 6 months on my 86GTS and I found out I'm getting it early march after ordering it on the 3/01/2013. 2 month wait is pretty well received.

TMCA & Subaru caved in to public & social media pressure & made sure we got a lot more production allocation & quickly. I like many have been & still waiting more than 6 months. Will be 7 month wait when I finally get me car. Consider yourself extremely lucky if your wait is only 2 months, especially for a "hi-grade" manual of the twins. And yes, the TMCA system is odd/unfair.

I asked the dealers about this exact issue, I was told by one dealer that his dealership gets allocated the exact same amount of cars as any other, then I went to a larger dealership and was told they get allocated extra cars based on their sales, which were significantly higher. Which did end up eventuating. Basically what happened was, I ordered, got told It was 6 months, about 2 weeks later the new car manager called me and said they had 4 extra cars coming in march, that were scheduled for build in Feb, he switched out one of the red GTS A/Ts for another in my colour, and luckily, it all worked out. So if anyone else is looking to put down a deposit, my only recommendation is to go to a larger dealership that actually has a demo, and has sold quite a few already.

yes all well for the 86 orders but us ordering a BRZ is in a totally different ball park. Bigger dealerships don't matter, its all done at Subaru HQ. The ratio of 86 to BRZ sent to Australia is hilarious, something like 10 to 1. Filter out the autos/colours you dont want and the amount of BRZ's being sent is very sad indeed.

Hopefully its worth the wait.

It definitely is worth the wait, I'm just glad they brought the BRZ here at all.
Also I'm pretty sure the premium pack with leather seats, etc is assigned to specific cars the same way as colour and transmission.

Yea I guess it'd better than not getting it at all. I think the only thing that wouldn't play a part is the dealer fitted stuff, such as spoiler, sat nav, instrument panel, fuel lid garnish. Makes me wonder though say I order the BRZ with STi wheels (Natalie said they are releasing the STi gear soon) will I get the stock wheels? and stock instrument panel?

12 to 1 I read more recently.

Redline_Randy · 02-05-2013, 03:10 AM

My order just changed to 5th April!! Finally an official date!

llama_au · 02-05-2013, 03:16 AM

OMG, mine changed today too!

23/04/2013

Redline_Randy · 02-05-2013, 05:29 AM

Congrats! Hopefully that date is worse case scenario and we receive them a few days/weeks earlier! So relived though

llama_au · 02-05-2013, 05:33 AM

Agreed

It feels more real now that there is a date and a VIN assigned to the car.

a.beck · 02-05-2013, 11:12 PM

Dang. No change to mine. Got a little excited there for a sec. heh

Where is my BRZ now?Pending
Estimated deliveryMay 2013

Sean-SRM · 02-05-2013, 11:19 PM

That's great you guys will be getting them quicker! It will be nice to have you join in the fun on the roads.

BRZ Goodness · 02-06-2013, 05:14 AM

Mines changed to on the water with delivery date of 22nd March, I emailed Natalie back in Jan to move to May but she never replied, I've got an overseas holiday on the 24th March. Emailed to confirm that I can receive if delivery can be made before/on eta.

Interesting to see how this plays out.
