Hard To Order A BRZ?

[nightfire]

Hey everybody, new to the forum. I'm super psyched about acquiring a BRZ but I'm wondering how hard it is to order one from the factory being they are made in limited quantities. Is it still easy to order one the way I want it from the factory? I'm heading to the dealership today to test drive one and will be ordering one within the next month.

Don't quote me on this but, I think if you order from the factory it can take 1 or 2 months depending on if the order gets in and makes it to the earlier shipment. If not you'll have to wait til the later one.
When I asked some dealers how long it would take, I got answers varying between 3-4 weeks and 6-8 weeks.
If you're impatient, you might be able to pick one up out-of-state, assuming NJ doesn't have any in stock, or one that isn't exactly what you want.

Ordering is easy. It's the waiting that sucks. I'm in NJ and ordered August 10th. Just got the call this week that my order has been fulfilled and will be on one of two ships coming in Sept. The NE seems to get cars faster. There are some folks in other parts of the country that ordered back in March/April and are still waiting.

I hate how all of you ordering late are getting yours so quickly. While the rest of us who ordered in feb/march had to wait months -.- good luck on getting it the way you want though! And welcome. Just remember not to get WRBlue

Color matters as well. Wrb and swp well take longer, based on what once seen.

1-3 months for me.

according to my dealer, it also depends on how well the dealership is selling their cars as well. If the dealership sells lots of cars, theyre more likely to be allocated more BRZs.

The only thing that determins how many BRZ's a dealership gets are their sti sales from what I have gathered.

Ordered mine first week in June. Getting picked up in Japan next week. Getting it delivered end of September. Dealer I ordered from is a relatively small dealer.

Whoops yeah. I forgot to mention that part as well. But yeah i definitely remember dealership saying STI sales.

As above, it's easy to order, but you might be waiting for a long time as most Subaru dealerships have already sold their allocations.

However, if you're willing to put some effort into getting your car, start calling dealerships and ask if they have any on their lot or if their next shipment is spoken for. Start close and work your way outwards. You may have to expand your search well outside your state.

Since you're east coast, try NH, VT, and ME dealerships. They will be larger volume dealerships so they should have a higher allocation, but they won't have as much demand due to the winters and BRZ's RWD.

It took me about 7-8weeks for my wrb. Maybe it depends on what dealer u order from

the dealer i talked to said wrx/sti sales, but who knows

[DR1FT]

^ yeah that's what my dealer told me too, he said that they move stis/ wrx a lot and fast that's why they get orders from the factory quick
