THIS Is the Manual Toyota Supra [Official Release]

[ToyoBMW]

Just to say they put a deposit on the manual Supra

Don't put a deposit and the dealers won't feel the need to charge everyone a markup

I walked in to my local dealership today and was able to place a refundable $500 “deposit” (basically a place in line).

I was #10 on the list.

That's a great result!!

Of all the dealers I left voicemails with - none called me back. I just said "I'm interested in purchasing a new Supra - please call me back at (my number)".

Nada.

Guess they're too busy selling cars?‍

At least two dealers were helpful and - while didn't have a "waitlist" - said I was the first to call and would be contacted first once allocations were announced.

Does anyone know of any Toyota reps on this forum? Especially on the east coast?

I don't understand why everyone suddenly is feeling the need to put a deposit on a manual Supra? These cars are $65k, 2 seater cars. There will be plenty to go around. The market is really small for $65k 2 seaters

You're severely downplaying the current market and the volatility in dealer markups. The point is to lock in an MSRP deal.

I did not have to put a deposit down but I probably would have if required. However, any dealer taking deposits (especially non-refundable) this early when allocations, etc.. are totally unknown is shady.

Especially for the limited run model - if anyone manages to snag one of those at MSRP that's a huge win - especially in this market.

So really no changes in infotainment at least?

We live in the iPhone generation where any new feature justifies upgrading with every new model. Th manufactures love it.

Which is fine. If people want to constantly have the newest tech. My comment was aimed at people who will never buy and keep nit picking and finding something wrong and making up excuses why not to buy. Has nothing to do with the iPhone generation.

I just chatted with my dealer friend. There is no custom ordering; you can specify your preference but at the end of the day dealers get what they get.

That's been the case for a while. No true orders or matching already set allocation with desired spec.

Do y’all think Turbulence Gray and Phantom are done? Or maybe they’ll be back in another year?? Not sure how color choices really work out with car companies

So pumped for this MT and new blue. Happy for everyone else who has been waiting for the MT.

Stratosphere Blue w/black interior + MT on some OG launch edition wheels. This is what I want.

That is a big differentiator in this space. The Corvette program is a classic example of figuring that out. Sadly today's Toyota likely never will.

Yes, but what you can get is dealers trading allocated cars to make sales before the cars arrive.

...With the current desire and market, that probably won't happen much these days.

I’m chuckling here, I wrapped my Supra in what appears to be Stratosphere Blue

Dealers that are (at least verbally) promising no markups and no “dealer add-ons” are few and far between.

My hope is that the dealer won’t renege on this, and I’ll keep my place in line when allocations arrive. If things don’t go to plan, the deposit is refundable. Worth a shot IMO.

For anyone in the Bay Area that’s interested - this was One Toyota in Oakland. They only take deposits in person.
- My go to was Toyota Walnut Creek, but they let me know that they’ll be adding a “$20,000 wrap” to the first batch of MT supras that they receive. Buyer beware, I guess.
