9 days and counting until the press embargo expires.

My dealer got two allocations today, May production date for me. While I am excited, there is another dealer (out of state) giving me $2k off (though have not yet received an allocation) whereas this allocation would be MSRP. I am also back to square one on my config, I thought I was set on the AW but the recent AW video made me change my mind. Not sure if I am going ZB or TR now...

Anyone from a small dealer who got their allocation today who was first on their list?

Sethhboii I share your frustration. Also #1 at a small-ish dealer myself. I went through this very same thing in 2011 with the high-demand 1M: first the big metro areas got their allocations 3 deep, which was annoying but I get it. Then smaller regional areas getting multiple allocations before others get any at all, with no rational order that I could tell. Just gotta be happy for those that get theirs, and stick with it for the emotional ride until you get yours.

The Bronco is the closest thing to a modern FJ you can get. 2 door, V6, IFS, factory 35" tires, front and rear lockers. The only thing better would be a jeep wrangler rubicon but not nearly as comfortable with the solid front axle.

If I ever go with another 4x4 SUV it will be a 4.0 I6 wrangler Rubicon. Something affordable, reliable, strong off road, and able to be flat towed behind an RV.

Besides, if I sell it for what I am trying to get I would have driven it for 6 years and made a little extra. That's not a bad deal. At some point a 180k mile Toyota has to start going down in value right?

On Bring A Trailer - they NEVER go down LOL!

Good luck!


FYI, it is not factory pickup given that they are not produce there, South Carolina. G87s are produced in Mexico. X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, and XMs are produced at BMW Plant Spartanburg. You want Performance Center Delivery which is across the highway from Plant Spartanburg.

I know it is not manufactured at the spartan plant and yes I was referring to the performance center delivery so it wouldn't matter where my selection and purchase would be made was my point.

Same boat (or sadly no boat at all). Dealer got 2 HEA and 1 allocation last month. I am now number 1 but alas nothing this go around. Too bad, hopefully more to come in the month?!

Doubtful as allocation distribution generally occurs once per month. Another month to go.

He called me shortly after and I have the allocation!
Just signed off on it, super excited.
Week 18 May production.

[Sethhboii]

Yeah, sales rep confirmed that they did not get an Allocation still. Again, I’m first at my dealer. We are a small dealer even though they got two M3CS allocation. So now I wait for an Allocation in April and hope for June production and August delivery? This is legit dumb as hell. I’m just super annoyed right now.

Nice! Just got the call - week 18 production too. I was #2 on my dealers list (Boston area and put a deposit down in March 2022).

Ayyyyy that's my dealer, I got the first allocation for week 15 productuon at the end of February. glad to hear you got one. I wonder if they got more than 1, Johnie311 should be up for one pretty soon too.

Awesome, I was #2 too. Put down $1000 around the same time. Sales manager wanted another $1500 today to bring it to $2500. Now non-refundable that the order is in, it and will go towards purchase. No issue w/ me

See you on the assembly line

Any chance you're not getting the truth?

If you're M certified dealer you got to be having one allocation by now.

I know of several M Certified dealers that do not have allocations. I'm not fully convinced that M Certified is any different than non M Certified. I would guess that sales volume has a bigger advantage in getting allocations. But I could be wrong. FWIW, my dealership is not M Certified. Maybe I'm secretly jealous.

100% false! I could name a hand full of M certified centers within our region that have yet to receive a modifiable allocation. Not one.

Agreed, mine is m certified and still hasn’t gotten one. Meanwhile others have gotten as many as 5…

I've been keeping a close eye on my phone for the past 24 hours...but haven't heard anything. Maybe I'll get lucky next month.

[mtoosexy]

Well, supposedly... I am NEXT. I am opting for the full ZJJ Carbon pckg, so the allocation next round/month(optimistically) may be perfect timing?
