Any advice? I must have a 2012 USB but the dealers will not even take my money for an order. What are my options?

Seems to be a couple in Florida - a 2011 and a 2012. How does a road trip sound?

JM Family can't do that. Just as I can't buy from Longo with a Georgia address. The Southeast is owned by the JM Family company for all Scion, Toyota, and Lexus cars. I know because I called Longo and they refused to entertain selling me an IS-F in 2008 because I was "too far away" but I know the truth is JM would have a total hissy fit if someone living in Georgia bought from a dealership not part of JM Family.

Just got the call saying I have to wait until May and even then it's not guaranteed that I will get a USB. This is depressing.

At this rate I may have to wait for a 2013 model.

Anybody know when the new models reach the showrooms?

No matter how you skin this cat, you will pay almost $70k for a loaded 2012 ISF by the time you roll it off the lot.

And it's the best money I ever spent.

Perhaps I am the only one, but a new ISF purchase after TTL in CA is almost $70k....
Anyone find the price a little too high even for brand new?

After 1 year, the ISF depreciates $20-25k.

$70k opens up to quite a bit of slightly used upper market performance sedans, ie: E63, M5...

Just wondering...
