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

AlexTheGreek · 12-08-2012, 06:34 PM

I would like to compile a database of users' experience ordering the BRZ.

I will periodically report the statistics so we can all see what's going on with the leadtime and shipment of cars. It's so frustrating waiting for your car and being in the dark on the process.

Only fill this out if you've received your car!

Thanks. Hopefully we can learn something from this!

They told me 3-5 months when I placed my order. They had only sold 2 BRZ's so they still had allocation so I got allocated a car from the next shipment. The 2 prior to mine only waited 3 weeks for their cars.

The car I got isn't either of the ones I ordered, so I don't think I get to add to the list. :P

Story: Back in March I inquired with a dealer about the launch date (which was unknown at the time) but never placed a pre-order. They noted my preferred configuration then I just forgot about them because I decided to wait for the 2014 model year. May comes around and the dealer calls me saying they got one of the first in the country in my specified configuration with no BS markup. Considering how this car was hen's teeth at the time, I asked myself: "Should I wait one year before I live the life I want (which isn't even guaranteed) or should I take advantage of this opportunity that people kill for and live in the moment?" So my BRZ came in 1 year sooner than expected.

I don't see the point in waiting 2-4 months for these cars. They don't come in many variations. I was able to find mine sitting in a showroom for about 3 months. I think it makes much more sense to hit up all the dealerships in your area or if need be, take a road trip or have one shipped for a few hundred bucks and get it in a week. From what I've seen recently, these cars are all over the place, You may have to bite the bullet on the color but I could've lived with any of the colors on this car because... its looks damn good either way.
