Ive only reached out to mine when I wanted to add ZTK and I just followed up on asking what rate they locked in for me back in April. Always responds within 1-2 days, no complaints

The only time this guy ever called me back other than when he hung up on me was after I left him a message about adding ZTK a week after I ordered the car.

I also updated my post on the previous page to include other moronic examples of incompetence.

His response was, "You can petition the DMV after you take delivery of the car, I have to go.", and hung up on me. This was at 9:30am mind you. I still wanted to add some port installed accessories to the car, but now I'm just going to order the stuff and install it myself.

When I pick up the car I'll be sure to tell him and the GM of the dealer that if the car wasn't so exciting to me, my CA would have ruined this experience.

I should have known he was a moron when I was ordering the car. He was swearing to me these cars were made in Germany and I told him they're made in Mexico, the VIN will start with 3, and he said no and swore that the cars he's delivered came from Germany.

He also told that not only did my car have ACC, but it had Driving Assistant Professional. It was only through this thread that I knew that was bullshit.

He also said when I placed the order that this dealer never charges over sticker. I popped in there 2 weeks later to change the color (because he wouldn't call me back), and he did not seem happy to see me and said that the guy who originally placed the order was paying $2,500 over. Well which is it?

This guy really sucks. I walked in there off the street and placed an order for a $60k car same day, and this is how I've been treated.

I spoke to Genius on Monday and the nice lady I spoke with told me to call back in a week. I'll try to get more info from them.

Have you talked to their superior and asked for a different CA? Might be worth it to share your experience with management.

I just placed an order for the carbon fiber interior trim kit and CF muffler tips from Ali Express. Just have to hope nothing funny happens between now and when I arrive at the dealer for pickup. Looking to also buy the Monaco CF spoiler.

Have to get the ball rolling on selling my BR-Zed

Nice! Could you post links to the Ali Express pages? I am interested in the CF spoiler and perhaps the muffler tips as well.

Feel you on that last sentence, trying to get things rolling with insurance quotes and selling my old car has been a slow process so far (but then again so has everything else).

Sure, only the CF interior parts and muffler tips are from AliExpress. The spoiler I am considering is from Monaco motorsports.

CF dash pieces - I went with the 5 piece kit. Also bought a red engine start button from the same seller, it's like $10.

CF muffler tips - Silver metal tips with CF surround, Carbon Fiber C is the color/type

Monaco spoiler - I like that it's a little smaller/more subtle (and cheaper) than OEM. Though, I'd like to see OEM in person before pulling the trigger on this.

Selling a used car should be easy right now, I think at least. I am not sure how the market will be for a 9 year old BRZ with 190k miles, though it's 95% highway and it still runs like new. I'm the original owner and the car looks relatively new, believe it or not. It has aftermarket wheels, 50% tint all around, subtle drop, clean sounding exhaust, and a sound system. Hopefully someone will want it for their younger kid just getting their license.

I wouldn't want that person to get a commission off me but I can be petty like that lol

I am planning purchasing the same parts aside from the spoiler as I wait for my car. Make sure when you get them you let us know how they look!

Yep, I'm expecting it will be here mid-late September all being well with no further delays. Cheers

Congrats man! I was waiting for you to post it up!

[CarsAndGuitars]

I just spoke to my CA. He is saying I should be assigned to a ship by Tuesday and taking delivery within a month.

Hopefully getting yours soon too?

[akim89]

For those that are West bound, Harvest leader is set to arrive tomorrow 7/3 instead of 7/4 so they're ahead of schedule. Hopefully our cars will be loaded within a day and arrive at port Hueneme by Friday next week. If everything goes according to plan, we should be getting our cars by next weekend!

[jaypr9]

So I'm not really seeing anything soon for vehicle carriers for the east coast at VeraCruz. Maybe it's possible that our cars are at Altamira? Not really sure at which port the recently done cars are located.

There is one carrier, Glovis Spirit that's docked at Altamira that looks like it may have brought BMW cars up the east coast. That's all I got. Anyone else see anything?

I found a few. I think it'll probably be Bravery Ace on it's next trip, but there were a few others worth watching. Here's a link to that post:
