How long did you wait for your FR-S? - Page 13 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It's been 51 days so far for me

I feel a little guilty. I lucked out and got mine in 2 days.

I placed my order on 7/29 while the exact car that I wanted sat on the lot a mere 30 feet away - just waiting for the original order-er to come pick it up. Got a call 2 days later saying that the person who ordered the one from the lot was flaking out and it was mine if I wanted it. And what'dya know - I wanted it.

12 hours.

I learned about it about 9 PM on Friday, and went into the dealership at 9 AM on Saturday. Test drove it and bought it immediately.

I think I got away with it only because this is a smaller town and they hadn't listed it on their website yet.

Y'all are going to hate me but I waited 2 weeks after ordering it and was called by 2 other dealerships about having one after I paid for the one I got.

The salesman redlined and drifted the car on the first half of the test drive which made for a pretty damn good sales pitch (although I already knew I wasn't buying THAT model). So we get back to the desk and he tells me that they only have that one model available which isn't broken in properly, with options I don't want, the color I least like, and a $3000 mark-up. So I walked out and started to call dealers around.

I found a dealer that had this awesome (and hot) saleswoman and she went truly out of her way to make sure she got me my FR-S. The only options installed are Bespoke Audio and paint protection (discounted to $199). I also managed to negotiate my trade in at KBB value, and they decided to lower the price of the car by $500 because I told them I didn't want the Toyoguard. My FR-S was $26005 + tax.

As of this Friday, I'm driving an Asphalt FR-S 6MT

Well that's legitimately dissapointing, it's delayed until the 27th now...

I had to wait 5 weeks for mine. I got lucky, because the person ahead of me on the waiting list cancelled. Otherwise, I probably would have had to wait about 7-9 weeks

dgtlmn · 08-14-2012, 07:40 PM

Picked mine up last Friday. Waited about 2 1/2 weeks for it to show up.
