Do NOT buy a Supra right now

[Fisher Price]

Sure!

I reached out immediately and it had sold earlier that day.

Either way, appreciate the lead!

This on hold thing has got people taking a step back. Not getting it early is losing luster to the reasoning of the launch edition. Toyota is f#$cking themselves. It's even got me thinking more and more of the new c8

I don't understand why this rollout wasn't executed better, but my guess is that somebody dropped the ball or the port/processing centers were not moving the cars through with any sort of priority. The other strange thing is how some dealers got cars but were not prepared with the new software to actually prep the cars. None of that stuff is complicated, it just takes planning and timing.

I half wonder if some of this is due to Toyota not having prior experience interfacing with the European shipping/port/processing routines, but these cars were built months ago and got to the US months ago, so there still was plenty of buffer to absorb stuff like that. The Supra I considered buying was built on 5/13 but won't be at the dealer until 8/1. In the same period, a BMW we recently bought went from build in Germany to customer delivery in Virginia in less than 3 weeks. Toyota seems to have built up inventory and got it to the US, then dropped the ball.

And there it will continue to sit for that price!

I just dropped the LE today from my local dealership in the Bay Area. I was set to get one soon at 10k over msrp which was locked in earlier this year. The reason for me doing this was the C8.

Hope you enjoy your C8 purchase when it comes out finally.

Thanks F1. I really wanted the Supra and really excited. But the next in line will get the LE and I wish he/ she is happy with it.

Mr. T. too bad on the supra but I understand the reasoning. Are you sure the c8 is going to deliver what your looking for. I can understand for 70k. That should get I In the sweet spot for upgrades on the c8

Hi Wild. I had a 91 nsx and really enjoy the mid engine. I always thought the nsx was not powerful enough so the 491 Hp c8 should fill that void. I also love the lines of the c8 which to me is similar to the nsx lines. And from what I seen and gather from the web the interior is much better in c8 than the past where the interior was inferior. I am not in a hurry and the down is refundable. I have a 2011 m3 with only 25k molies on it so no hurry.

strong insider information!!!!



more like don't buy a supra right now until you test drive a c8

This exactly. They’ll be selling Supras for invoice then

 

[solidsamir]

I’m not sure why anyone is surprised or hurt. Just wait a few months.

Hope you enjoy your C8 purchase when it comes out finally.

The more i hear about the C8, the more it sounds like a straight line car

 

[CSUfiend]

I don’t think many people here would mind at all if Supra were sold at below invoice due to competition. In fact I like the sound of that as someone will will buy a new one anyway

Maybe bad for Toyota, but as long as I get mine I also hope I don’t see one on every corner like a Mustang, Camaro or Corvette, etc. Seeing a ton of e92 M3’s on the road now as they become more attainable. When I think about it, I am right in the middle in regards to how “successful” I want the Supra to be. Successful enough to eventually have different variants but not enough to see one everywhere.

I still remember when I was in college and the 350z came out. It looked nice until everyone and their grandma had one. Hope the Supra doesn’t become that down the road

these freaking dealers are insane. In Miami it’s the same shit they want 88k for the LE.. meanwhile I have a bunch of sales guys calling me and I’m like f that keep it for that price. I’ll wait until the hype dies down

Hopefully folks aren't backing away because of a 1-2 week delay. Shoot, if it's to improve the port inspection process, delivering a car with minimal items on the "We Owe You" form, I'm OK with that. I am extremely interested in what it will actually do to the price of an LE though. It could go 3 ways:

1) the LE prices actually go up when the Premiums are next to them at the lot or
2) the Premium Prices actually go down and the LE stays at MSRP
3) the LE and Premium both go down

There has to be something that separates them price wise; saying the Premium and LE are both "MSRP" seems impossible if they are sitting right next to each other.
