It took me 4 months to finally get my Firestorm FR-S. Hang in there man...

If you didn't know you have to wait for this car then you haven't read a single post on this forum.

Check cars.com, autotrader, and call different dealers regularly. If you already have one reserved then you know that's the longest you'll have to wait, but keep shopping around and you may get one sooner, then just get a refund on your deposit.

I had an frs ordered at a dealer near me, a brz reserved at a dealer in Colorado, and I still kept shopping. I ended up finding the exact frs I had ordered at a different dealer just 40 min away. Just be patient, but also be ready to jump on one that comes into any other dealer because once they are unloaded, they are usually gone in a day or two

Two weeks to get a raven but I was on the wait list for an asphalt that was an eta of 3 months

roddy · 12-19-2012, 08:45 PM

I waited about 10 weeks for mine. The wait was worth it.

Go to Lawrence Toyota. They can get you one the next day. No mark up. They had to order my raven auto, but they had a raven manual on the lot. The online status says they still have the manual in stock.

Wow, I've been waiting for mine since June 23 I wish mine was a 3 month wait :P and I still haven't been given even a production date.

iamkyle · 12-20-2012, 12:06 PM

ordered at beginning of November, i was told end of Jan to early Feb. Found out ill be getting it before the new year now!

FR-S Matt · 12-20-2012, 12:15 PM

Ordered mine on Nov. 11th, received on Nov. 29th.... yeah, people hate me.

strat61caster · 12-20-2012, 01:14 PM

Based on what I've seen and when I called Scion customer support (I know not really a good source but better than nothing), at this point it's about a 4-8 week wait if you have a cooperative dealer with reasonable volume. I'm on my second order and both have fallen within the timeframe.

THANKS @ joop1987

Becuase he told me about the lawrencville having one in stock i went there and BOUGHT IT!

I'm officially on the FR-S Team!!!

joop1987 · 12-22-2012, 12:22 AM

congratulations. Glad it worked out.

I had a FR-S on order at DCH in S. Brunswich for 4 mothns and Lawrence Toyota got me one the next day. Got my deposit back from DCH.

I thought mine was going to be here this past Monday (11/17), but we got word it should be here by the 24th. A three week wait isn't bad compared to what I've heard some of you say, but still...I'm like a little school girl here.
