no not against people making money, but i dont like how some people exploit a situation.

someone might buy it, and he'll make money, just voicing my opinion on the matter.

and this opinion is based on the notion he is making a quick buck, if he has hit a rough patch and has to sell then i undrstand.

and what can i say about toyota and subaru, they could've sold it for alot more but didn't, not to say they arent taking advantage too, what do you think happens to the deposits? goes into a bank acount where it earns them interest.

Just called Toyota hotline
Pushed back 2 months to a December build.
Ordered a GT 26th June. Well before the "2 to 3 month wait for a GT" bulletin.

feel sorry for you buddy ...i ordered on 20th of june and I'm glad i did that, i was planning to order around end of june as well...but i couldn't wait and it was 2 days before my bday so i ran it and slapped 10k on his table and left without test-driving or seeing the actual car LOL...

i guess i would be in the same situation as you if i ordered 6-10 days late?! thats ridiculous though, as i got my car on 9th of august....like ordering 6-10 days late have to wait till december now? wtf!? and its a GT?! TMCA ought to be bashed....

i feel for you bro! stay strong

USA supply is just fine. Also seems to be plenty of (unsold) GT86's headed to the UK to sit on dealer floors for ages whilst we keep getting pushed back.

the frustration is the huge demand here in Australia and the pissy number of these cars designated for us

Hey guys, I just quit, no more waiting game for me, dislike in a position where I got the money but gotta beg TMCA to sell me the car.....ordered on the 08/06 and was told sep build, oct delivery but now seems like Dec build or even Jan 13 build, who know when..... I will only get it 2-3 later where I can just walk in the show room and pick 1 for delivery on the spot. Having great time with ur all, what a pity. Good luck to all n wish ur 86 arrive soon!
