Any tips on getting an FR-S? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I couldn't find a FR-S or BRZ that I wanted in NC. I'm driving to SC to get a limited BRZ when they get it in... Southern states Subaru is marking theirs up 3k...

I just picked mine up today from Toyota West in Statesville! Great bunch of guys there. If you go there ask for Russell and tell em I sent you (Erik)!

Was kind of luck of the timing for me, they had a guy reserve their Firestorm MT but backed out since he wanted a different color. I swooped in and got it!

Congrats on the pick up. Looking for Ultramarine myself, with white a close second.

Two nights ago I saw the FR-S commercial on TV, the next morning I called every dealership within 50 miles and listed the inventory. Most sold everything over the weekend but many of AZ dealers still had at least two. I finally found an asphalt and went and picked it up.

I would just call, as of yesterday I would estimate we have somewhere around 20 or so in the Phoenix Metro area.

I had 3 manuals come in to my dealership and sold them all at MSRP, no markups.

I've currently got two automatics on order and no clear sign of when I may even hear back from them.

My dealership is also taking orders for manuals, nothing above sticker, located in Virginia Beach, VA. We were the 2nd dealership in CAT for Scion Sales, so we tend to get what we need. We aren't a huge dealer, but for some reason our Scion sales stay through the roof.

Send me a PM if you're interested, I'm about 5 hours from Charlotte.
