Longest FRS/BRZ wait time in Canada?

[Rich1]

Hey folks - Well I know that there are a tonne of people still currently waiting for their orders.

As I've been waiting for 109 days now (Ordered July 5) and I've been seriously considering cancelling this week I thought it would be interesting to see how long others have been waiting. It has been a tedious first new car experience to say the least. I'm sure others feel the same anxiety about waiting.

Please list the following:

Date Ordered:
Date Promised:
Total days since order: (use http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html to find out)

So I'll start.

Date Ordered: July 5, 2012
Date Promised: Aug 31, 2012
Total days since order: 109 days - and no ETA still (Just "At Port")

Yeah look around at other dealerships, don't expect to sit on your ass and get a car.
The dealers lie like no tomorrow , they will sell cars to their buddies before they get to you .

Well you know my status.

Date Ordered: July 7, 2012
Date Promised: My salesman joking with another salesman, saying "Oh, by Christmas!"
Total days since order: 106 days. If you include today since it's after midnight, 107. Still not built as far as I'm aware, and whaddya know, now it's expected by Christmas.

I imagine this is likely. Too bad they'd never admit it and I could never prove it, being an outsider. In my case, even if it was true, as much as I'd want to cancel my order on principal, they'd just sell it to the next guy within a couple hours, so there would really be no point. I would gain nothing and they would lose nothing.

mine is 'in production' according to the dealer's data system. did they give you the vin to check the status?

I ordered on August 21... clearly not as long as some of you guys.

Total Days Since Order: 62

And wow the dealers and their lies! First I was told beginning of Oct, then I got a call saying its going to be here early mid Sept... Then I couldnt get a hold of the salesman so I went in and found him he said 1st week of Oct for sure... Then I came in and he said Christmas because I chose Asphalt (appearantly one of the harder colours to get?) then he said if i get black it will be faster, then he said nevermind, and now he said he traded my asphalt order with an ultramarine and "it will be here November 100%" "umm 100% eh?" "Yes 100% sure"...

I dont mind the wait... Just prefer 1 story rather than being lied to.

Oh and I tried going to other dealerships, even called some up north... all of their responses were "Sure I can get you a MT FRS, if you order today it should be here in March"

I ordered on July 2nd and just picked my BRZ on Tuesday October 16th. - Vancouver.

If the dealer doesn't know anything yet, don't expect to get the car in a week or two. From what I understand, they should be able to make a very respectable guess by the time it gets to port in BC.

Which is then 10 days out of port, and another 10 on train/truck to dealer?

Thats what it seems like from what others have said.

My dealer told me 6-8 weeks average from factory to Ontario dealers. I'm not sure what the breakdown is in terms of time on boat, port processing, rail to Ontario, sorted in Toronto (I guess they process something in Ontario. Apparently they will do the stereo upgrades there as well, if applicable), delivery truck to dealer, and dealer processing.

I suppose I'm just jaded having waited so long with no information. You might be right.
