How long did you wait for your FR-S? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I ordered mine last weekend. Got a call on Wednesday stating delivery was expected around August 29. Not too bad, about a month wait between order and delivery.

BTW, one thing I'd recommend is ordering your car through a large Scion dealer. Seems to make a difference in terms of allocation (i.e., the dealer has a better chance of getting the exact car you want).

It was, I apologize. I drove by a dealership late one night while they were closed and one was sitting there. Went back the next day and everything worked out...Please feel free to club me.

By the way, I noticed you're in Chantilly. PM me if you're interested in taking my order for a whiteout 6mt FR-S in Maryland (scheduled to arrive at the end of the month). I've been thinking about switching to firestorm...

The Firestorm was there for about a week the whiteout for a day and a half, the next due in is another Firestorm should reach us anyday now.

The funny thing about that is that we are not a large Scion dealer, we have just earned a large enough allocation from all the units we've delivered thus far.

I decided that I was going to buy one at about 8am last Friday morning. Went on cars.com and found a Hot Lava at a dealership about 40 miles away. Called them and put $500 down over the phone, swung by to take a look at it and test drive it on Sat. and I picked it up on Tuesday.

Still waiting for the Signal Yellow Pearl color to come out.

About 5 Days the week they were released. My old car had broken down so i needed to get one ASAP so i shopped around a lot in that week.

DrifterX · 08-03-2012, 07:44 PM

I ordered at the end of June and got delivered my ride yesterday. So about a month and some change.
