Well, with only two more full months left in the calendar year it is probably not really out of the question that Magna Steyr would only build about 300 regular manual cars destined for the US market in that time frame.
I wish I had that kind of income and car in my early 20's.
I was "dumb" and chose a line of work that required me to be poor for the entirety of my 20's, almost all of my 30's, and only recently has borne fruit and allowed me to buy more expensive things that I hadn't had before.
That said, I...
I put my deposit down mid July, and the most my dealer has told me is that they see other regions getting similar builds to what I want but so far nothing in my region yet. My dealer said they have two allocation phases, one at the beginning and one at the end of each month. So far out of six...
Call some dealers in your area and ask them if they will take a refundable deposit for putting in your preference. Make sure of their out the door price at the same time. No sense in putting in a deposit with a dealer who is going to bend you over like an olympic gymnast's coach with a markup...
I honestly don't care about the waiting now that fall is in full effect here. If I bought one today I'd probably drive it once or twice then put it up for the winter anyway. If I get the car I want locally, then I get the car I want. Supra's aren't Ferraris... they'll be available at some point...
That listing more or less confirms what my dealer told me a few weeks ago, which was that she saw manual Nitro Yellows being allocated in other regions but not in ours. I don't know what it is about our region but several dealers have given me the impression this region is like the red headed...
When I put down my refundable $500 deposit back in July I was told it "guaranteed" me a certain price for a certain allocation. I was given paperwork showing my deposit, showing the anticipated price of the supra I wanted along with all fees and whatnot, giving me an estimated "out the door"...
I'm kind of in that same boat, as my current car is 15 years old and I've been looking to replace it for going on four years now. At first it was because the cars I wanted to replace it with were simply not being made yet and I wanted new and not used... then the pandemic hit and everything just...
I was under the impression the wheel locks are a port/dealer installed option. On the web configuration page they show up as "alloy wheel locks" as a $65 option for the A91-MT.
As I said on the last page my dealer has told me that she sees zero 3.0 Premium manual allocations in our region (not sure what region that is or what its extents are, its the region that contains the Saint Loui, MO area) currently. She said she does not anticipate our region getting any...
My dealer told me something similar last week, that the car I'm waiting for (Nitro Yellow 2023 manual) in all likelihood will not be available in my region until next year, most likely January.
My dealer called me this week to discuss my pre-order and told me she was seeing manual non-special edition allocations starting to become available in other regions (but not the midwest for some reason). Not sure of the veracity of that beyond taking her at her word.
While I don't have an answer to this, I had another question... on the 2023 Supra's with the new wheels did they update that car image to show it with the new wheels?
Good info.
I put my deposit in around the same time as you on 7/16 and so far nada...
Each month the story is the same, my dealer is preferencing for my vehicle (3.0 Prem Nitro Yellow, manual but will take an auto) with no results. Not "we've seen other Surpas available but not the exact one...
This more or less strengthens my want for a 2023 nitro yellow. I was worried how the new wheels would look on the yellow, but they look just fine to me (YMMV). I also see it has that silver steering wheel insert... I keep seeing that silver insert and I wonder if that is a region specific thing...
I've already sort of gone out of my immediate local market by finding a dealer about 60 miles outside of town who was willing to put in a preference for me at MSRP. The dealer was more than happy to take my deposit and has been preferencing for my vehicle of choice, but I think my preference...
I put in a deposit and have a preference in for a prem 3.0 nitro yellow manual OR failing that an auto, with no installed options other than the driver assist package.
The problem I have is my local dealer market. There ARE brand new 2022 Supras sitting on a dealer lot right now a stone's throw...
I was under the impression the press cars were more or less mockups and not indicative of the actual final A91 production car. Like something they cobble together using whatever parts they have on hand instead of the exact parts, as those cars are not intended for retail sale primarily and they...
