When you said "they marked it up quit a bit" I was thinking they dents and scratch up. lol

I personally haven't heard of "cars being lost", but when cars are ordered close to a cut off deadline, they can disappear sometimes meaning that the order missed and they cant fulfill the order.

I used to work at a dealership, which makes it harder to believe that it was lost. I think they sold your car that came in to another client and said they would dealer trade for one spec'd the exact way you wanted it. That aside enjoy your BRZ!

Nope. The vin number on the car I bought matched the one I was given when I put the deposit down. Also, I saw the window price sheet from the other dealer.

Damn people put down your pitchforks. It was a simple shipping error.

OP great choice on the color. Enjoy it in good health!

Glad to see OP got his car with an upgrade. I'd keep the marked up window sticker. Higher resell to those who don't do their homework should it happen.

I ordered 2 WRB 2013's at 2 different dealerships (the first place ordered in the wrong car) and both were marked as in-transit on the dealers' website...

Glad to know it wasn't any funny business and just a shipping error. Enjoy the beautiful new car; you picked the best color

When it comes time to pay, just tell them that you lost your payment and you're in the process of tracking it down.
