Ordered/Ordering Series 10 FR-S? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ordered earlier this month with an August delivery date.
No pricing but I'm expecting some sort of premium
~2K. Love my firestorm but the paint and
upgrades (I'll have to see the glowing badges in person)
are pretty sick.

Rough estimating the cost of add-ons plus paint, I came up with ~$2,500 premium. I like UNICRN's info better.

Ishii Motors · 04-19-2013, 02:32 PM

I placed a deposit on one on the release date 3/28
I'm expecting it delivered early June as was told to me by a scion rep. not the dealer.

If I may ask, why the late-ish delivery date? Are you one of the first to receive the Series 10 from your dealership? Just asking as all the press releases say June, though my area dealers (DC area) claim to not have any arrival information for the car.

Probably one of the first to get a confirmation. As far as timing, since these things are built in Ota, Gunma, they won't have 2500 ready to cross the Pacific for the US market. More time also since I'm around MD/PA. My current FR-S (ask anyone except the "first 86") was even more of a hassle to get.

IloveBaldEagles · 04-19-2013, 06:06 PM

2500 divided by scion dealers in USA+Canada should give an estimate of how many cars each dealer might get.

BRZPDX · 04-19-2013, 06:10 PM

you guys all trading in your current brz/fr-s? Or you buying another one for your own collection? I wonder how much you lose out if you trade in the current fr-s/brz for one of these series 10 models..

tomkozski · 04-19-2013, 10:13 PM

So I bit the bullet, and pre-ordered a Series 10 today, being the first one to pre-order at this dealership. Expected arrival date sometime July/August, though they did admit that was just a guesstimate.

Kevinah · 04-19-2013, 10:19 PM

Pre-ordered mine, dealer said the order will go in in May and car should arrive by late June for Canadians.

I will just buy the unique add ons from the 10 series for my one now, no biggie those will be the only real differences all else is same. My only hope is that this fall or next spring at latest we will see a public selling Toyota supercharger that is somewhat decent price that is my #1 want is a supercharger or turbo that is 100% on warranty. I will add to cart in a millisecond, literally.

NyC Zn6 · 04-21-2013, 02:57 PM

I placed my order on 4/16 and was told by my rep that my series 10 would be in within 1.5 to 2 months

torqdork · 04-21-2013, 09:52 PM

Who's getting the OEM spoiler? I'm not a fan, but am on the fence. Aftermarket won't have any painted to this unique code, OEM is the only one with beefier struts to handle the weight and port installations are always top notch quality and of course warrantied. Hmm...

n2oinferno · 04-21-2013, 11:19 PM

I'm considering it... We'll see, doubt it'll happen in the end though.

l0aded · 04-22-2013, 07:58 PM

I'm suprised people are trading their current frs for a release series. Won't one be shelling out ~3-5k to cover loss + the additional price difference for the 10 series?

The new features are nice but not THAT nice.
