How many of us are waiting to pull the trigger?

Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with guns.

Who is interested in this car but is waiting to purchase for various reason(s)?

List why you're waiting and what model year you expect to purchase, I'll start.

I'm waiting to see if some of the Warranty issues can get addressed with the '14s. I may purchase a '13 if I can get a good deal, i.e. not "pure" price.

I can't be the only lurker?...or can I... :happy0180:

so worth it...

im not really sure why people are waiting for the 14s (doesnt apply to EVERYONE waiting) but the upgrades are available if you want the same parts on a 13... and you have some wiggle room with the pricing as well since they are an outgoing model and we all know ur gonna mod the *#&( out it urself so save urself a few bucks by getting 13 and get some nice mods!!

Dealerships where I'm going offer zero wiggle room. Even on a FR-S that had almost 300 miles on it they wanted MSRP not a dime less.

wow that sucks... there were a few threads floating around with up to $1500 off MSRP... shop around... and if thats the case and you dont want to shop around... ur best bet would be to put a deposit down for 14 ASAP!

Im waiting on the '14. Mostly because finding the whiteout '13 has proven difficult for my dealer as well as hoping some of the little issues would have been resolved .... side bar....received some exciting news from the scion parts dude that's been helping me with some of the after-market parts i'm ordering.

He is saying the '14 will have the climate control, led headlights, push start, soft arm rest...essentially a lot of the 10 series stuff. Not sure if this is true but if the '14 addresses this DI issues people have been talking about, and having a standard touch screen unit....might be worth the wait? Of course not sure if this is true or not and who knows of the price will have some kind of bump with the extra goodies

Personally I wanted to wait until the 2015 model... But my current car is having a lot of major issues and eats Gas like fucking crazy... I have the money for the car I just want the snazzy features... And do I say it... Slightly believe in the rumors

Just buy it, its car. You'll most likely die in a few years anyways, why not enjoy it?

Maybe your dealership could work out something with them?
