2023 m/t allocation in the US..which/when/where

[Rob901]

Since I have been waiting since July (i have 3 dealerships I working with), I believe might well wait on 2024 supra at this point. I initially wanted A91 burnout but still open to Nitro yellow MT.

I hope the car is worth waiting for since I didn't have the chance to drive it(even the automatic). though all reviews seem great. it is hard to wait on a car you have never driven or tests, your brain keeps thinking how does it feel driving it .

I hope you get your allocations soon

Not sure where you are located but Colonial Toyota in Milford CT. had a Nitro coming in. Check my last posts. I got my blue one from there, easy to work with, didn't fight me on MSRP.

I was doing the waiting without a test drive too. I picked up mine last weekend. All I can say is, yes it is worth waiting for. The Supra was better than expected and I was expecting a lot.

Mine sat at Doremus for 2 months.
I picked it up last Saturday.

Oh jeez. That explains the Jan 16th to March 3rd range....

the train is what took forever for me when mine landed. kinda funny that I ended up getting one from the gulf states instead

Cmon now...Do they really need to take a train?? Its an 8 hour drive FFS ?

Yeah back in Dec. I got quoted 3.99%/4-year, 4.29%/5-year, and 4.99%/6-year. I was really hoping they'd get the car that month so I could lock in at one of those rates (maybe even refinance before the new year w/ a CU ?). Unfortunately, since its a new year and the feds were already in talks about raising interest rates I didn't get any of those rates from Dec.

That sucks.. Im not sure how i can justify a 7% or 8% rate anymore.
At this point, a 2022 or a 2020 model is more attractive.

If the dealership is good (mainly whoever you're dealing w/ in the financing department) they should look at various banks or CU's for you to try and get you the best rate. If they don't just ask and see what they say.

They did say there were going to do this; That they work with a few local credit unions, but I am technically not local so we'll see.

I had asked and mentioned other rates I could get from nearby CU's, but for me to purchase the vehicle I had to do my financing through them.

That seems like the trend. My dealership said the same thing word for word - i would have to deal with a higher markup if i did my own financing or might lose the car altogether.

Instead of waiting for a particular color, I would just make a list of 1-2 colors to avoid and then accept whatever else comes first.

I have only driven the automatic (2020 LE and 2022) models;
They are faster than you'll ever need on the streets.
The auto's shift hard and are very satisfying.
You'll feel like you're in something special, not your common lexus / beemer..
They look like spaceships in person (specially on colors that pop).
You'll get A LOT of attention. No one is going to skim over it like an ordinary car...

I just want it in my garage to stare at.

the day I got mine, I genuinely forgot why I went to the grocery store as I looked back going in lol

I told my dealer I wanted white or blue and I got lucky. The next Supra allocation they got was an absolute zero.
Financing rate was 5.8% thru the dealership with Capitol One.

This was the initial ad when I first inquired about the vehicle.

I had planned to negotiate the dealer installed accessories off since I already signed a Vspec ($59,110 no markup) with a VA dealership awaiting a phone call from their finance manager. However, the El Cajon dealership called me before I could talk to the other dealership so I decided to go down there.

In short, I was only able to knock off the window tint and PPF (getting done from a local shop tomorrow). Throughout all the dealerships I talked to, I told myself I wouldn't get an extended warranty, but I guess my impatience got the better of me since I caved in and agreed. Keep in mind, I've been looking for a sports car for ~1.5 to 2 years now, initially looking at M3's and M4's, but I'm picky on specs and didn't want to overpay (kind of felt like I did cause of the extended warranty).


If it makes you feel any better, there was a fair amount of miscommunication that took place to where I spoke to two finance managers, but ended up dealing with the finance director.


Sucks because just a month ago the interest rates were roughly half that. I've already started looking at various credit unions to refinance.

From what I've seen so far, yes. Some are better than others you just have to do your research and see who can give you the best rate and is willing to work with you.

I talked to this dealer a few times about that white supra you bought, they wanted more for it then what you screen shot has listed and they wouldn't budge for me. I probably spoke to the wrong salesman if you got it for that price.

After I put down my deposit they updated the ad to sale pending and was pulled a few days later.

During the first week of this month, I noticed they reposted the same vehicle (I checked the VIN) to $69k. When I saw this, I quickly called the salesman I was working with about the ad, but he ensured me that the price would remain the same that was initially discussed (must’ve already known the other allocation before mine would go to me & they’d have an extra one). Shortly after that phone call the ad was removed.

Based on my 23’ MT Supra hunt, most of the dealers in CA are charging $5k-$10k markups. NV was around $4k+. I was considering some in Illinois and Kansas City, but found a dealer in VA. In the end, El Cajon got my business, but not without 6-7 hours of negotiation.

Just check each dealerships inventory on/off to see if they have what you’re looking for.

yea that same dealership wouldn't budge for me either. IRVINE is 20k markup and he said they were the more affordable ones. I laughed and told them you are the most expensive ones & passed.

Yeah the ADM’s I listed are best case scenario. Luckily for me I had some leverage b/c the VA dealership already had the vehicle in their lot (they sent me pictures) which I showed the El Cajon dealership including my signed paperwork w/ them.

Avoid Toyota of Hollywood (in CA not FL). They had a $30k markup when I asked and called me three days later saying it’s only $20k now lol.

If you get one I don’t suppose I can have the other

We will see. Hopefully the Jan one falls through. They're both 2023 GR Supra 3.0 Premium MT in Absolute zero.
