They're taking the pi$$ right? I've just got my build slot & the cars estimated delivery date... Jan 10th

Kuros · 10-02-2014, 01:49 PM

What is the point of this?

stonenewt · 10-02-2014, 01:49 PM

FRUSTRATION!... I've been waiting for a build slot for almost 1 month after putting down my deposit. Delivery of my BRZ will take longer than my Elise... hell the delivery time of my 120d was in less weeks than it'll take to get my BRZ built, let alone have it shipped to the UK.

Come over to this side of the pond. @HeubergerMotors can help you find one fast.

You can also enjoy LHD and low taxes.

Sounds like normal delivery time for Europe, I ordered mine in April and it arrived last week..

If I was willing to compromise on spec then there are plenty of unsold cars that are on ship or with a production date. I'm not willing to pay for Nav or the Lux spec interior. What irritates me is why doesn't a pre-sold build bump speculative production?

Do dealers not have them in stock over there?

Come to the colonies, where BRZs are plentiful and you get issued a colt revolver and a cowboy hat just for walking through customs.

Any tea you might have is confiscated though.

3 months to get it built to your specifics doesn't sound so bad, it is after all being shipped 'round the world.

I'd be surprised if there really was a waitlist that long, after all a quick search came up with 10 BRZ's listed online as new on dealership lots and that was just the first website I googled.

100-150 BRZs are registered a year in the UK.

Subaru have a great system where you can see every car coming into the UK, be it provisionally sold or unsold. There was not one of the spec I wanted left unsold. Most of the speculative build are SE Lux & I'm not going to pay an extra £1500 for an interior that I'm not keeping.

It's okay. You're just pissed right now... but come January when you sit in your brand new car, you're going to forget everything cause you're too busy enjoying your car.

I was in London last week for 3 days and I only saw one GT86, zero BRZ

Come to think of it..

when I bought mine, I had a choice:

1) wait for the color/trim I wanted, pay deposit in April pickup end of August.
2) buy the car in front of me, it was a "car show display" vehicle that had some extra nicks. And people have sat in the seat.

So I think your 3-month wait isn' unreasonable.

Or come over anyway. Just don't burn the White House down like you guys did in 1814...

It's not like the Secret Service would do anything to stop him, apparently.

I got lucky. I drove a 13 they were trying to sell, said I wanted a limited 14 in one of three colors, walked behind the dealer to the unwrapped cars, and picked the grey one. I hadn't wanted the trunk liner and protective wrap on the rear bumper that it came with, but I could live with it.
