Not taking orders for anymore? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Dorb · 11-05-2012, 08:01 PM

Anyone else heard this from the dealers? I was told by two dealers that they are not taking anymore orders and that even if they could you can not pick the color. You can only get what is already in the pipeline. The guy I was working with even said he wants a white one and works for Subaru and could not order one. The $500 down only saves your price.

Wow. Wonder how widespread this is

BRZnut · 11-05-2012, 08:26 PM

Did the dealers say why?? Maybe all 2013s have been sold out????

Posted this in a diff post but:

"As of Oct 25th, all orders for the BRZ are slotted to May 2013." - released by SoA.
Pretty much means sold out, but nearly 3k are still on its way to fill it's 6k limit up till April. The ones on their way are still available if order got cancelled though.

The BRZ IS, after all, a limited production vehicle. It should be expected and that is good, in many people's opinions, for those that have one now or will get one.

"The $500 down only saves your price".

Interesting comment.

I don't think that many posters in this forum fully understood that as there have been many questions/commemts/complaints about their expected delivery time.

I wouldn't bother putting down a deposit now if it isn't for a car you specifically ordered. Just monitor autotrader or cars.com for the car you want. The deposits aren't fixed either its not like all dealerships charge 500.

You can order one now, you just won't see it until May at the earliest, from what I understand. 2013MY Forester orders cannot be placed, and it appears there's a 4mo. wait for the Impreza/WRX and Crosstrek, and a 3mo. wait for Legacy, Outback and Tribeca orders. This is what happens when Subaru eclipses last years' record sales year by October! They barely have enough cars to keep on dealer lots, let alone allocate factory orders.

It's a good problem to have, I suppose. It's just tough for people who want a very specific vehicle to get what they want. I've lost a few customers because we couldn't get them the specific color/option combo in a vehicle, and couldn't switch them to another vehicle. Some color/options combos are just as rare as any BRZ, like a Forester with All Weather Plus package or an Outback with the Special Appearance package, or any STi, for that matter. There's no STi's in New England, period!

It's a very good problem, but also bad. Shows the brand is growing strong, but people who get told it will be a long wait you risk alienating and having them choose another brand. Just shows that they are making the right choices design wise and that people are seeing them for what they are a nice fun car

and apparently an extremely rugged,well built,durable vehicle!

Come up to New Hampshire, tons of BRZ's are sitting on the lots.

subaru needs to fix their allocations, they would have my money right now if I could buy one semi-locally here in Socal.
