Why is it so hard to find a new subaru brz or toyota 86 at the dealerships?

Im gonna need a new car soon. I finally have enough money saved up to pay cash for one. however, i can't find them anywhere. I really want a small sporty car. Not really interested in the mustang as i prefer Japanese cars. I don't want a suv or large sedan. why are they so hard to find?

    I'd use a website like cars.com.  You can expand or restrict the search area and filter on features.  My wife refuses to drive an automatic, and finding what she wanted with a manual and specific features was very difficult.  I wound up driving 120 miles to get it.  I have no problem driving a couple hours for a car.  It's generally the second most expensive thing you will own, after a house, so it's worth the investment of time to get what you want.

    Your choice in cars is such that there is quick turn over. When one gets on the lot more often then not it has already been sold.

    That said, both Toyota and Subaru on line sites have a way for you to locate cars on lots all over the country. It is just an issue of how far you are willing to drive.

    As noted, if you walk into a dealer with enough down and ready financing- they will find one for you and have it delivered to the dealership.

    Now here is the thing- production for 2022 is either already started or is getting ready to start. Change over takes place in the March to May period at the factories. A lot depends on  the car make. Some car makers do so sooner then others. So the stock is just about depleted for 2021 models.

    They are "hard to find" in a dealer lot because not many people buy those cars.  But they are not "hard to buy".  You tell a salesperson that you want to buy one and you will get one in two or three weeks.  And I am not really sure now if you have $30k laying around in your house.

    For the Toyota are you using the "find a dealership" option correct?

    At first it only displays one dealership, but you can expand it to see all the dealerships with inventory available.  all the dealerships in my area appear to have the car.

    Can't imagine it is hard to find a BRZ with the great financing subaru is offering.

    Usually they don't offer great financing unless they need to get rid of the cars.
