I also noticed last week that on the Costco Auto Buying Program, they have the tS listed under one of the trims you can select....but says it's still under negotiation. I spoke with a Costco salesman for a Dealer locally and he said he talked to someone higher up and they probably will cross that one off the list due to its limited production.

You should! I'm driving up to Seattle for mine, so I'd assume yours would be in the same shipment + a few days for the trade.

I was at the dealership today taking care of preliminary paperwork. They were saying that this quarter Subaru is shipping them cars way ahead of schedule. They were expecting to get their 50th anniversary WRX in at the end of the month, and it was already sitting on the showroom floor. They said don’t be surprised if I get a call a week or two early saying my car has arrived.

Also, do the research and find any incentives you can get. My dealership honored my $500 auto show rebate as well as free two year maintenance from a coupon Subaru of America emailed me.

Yeah! I’m so excited because I have the coupon from Auto show that expires later this month. I thought for sure I wasn’t gonna be able to use it if the car came in April

Lucky! I didn't even know these coupons existed otherwise I would have tried to find how to get it at the auto show! How may I obtain one do you think? The maintenance one would be good too! Do you guys know how I may be able to get these as well? That would help tons as my insurance is trying to screw me on my value for my series.blue 😓

The Auto Show coupons are very strict about being signed up for in person at the Auto Show, so you won't be able to get one without attending. That having been said, Subaru Ambassadors have $500 coupons they can pass out a few of, so joining your local Subie group on Facebook and asking if anyone has a coupon usually nets good results.

Average MSRP with destination and accessory groups are around $34.9k for the tS.

My 17 with perform pkg was $27400. Really what are you getting for $33500? $6100 difference, not seeing it. Hate the hideous spoiler. My 2 and half cents.

I’m getting the car I’ve waited almost 3 years for.

Quote from myself in April 2015:

It’s almost like people have different reasoning than each other for doing what they want to do. 🤔

Different strokes for different folks.

Thanks!! I was able to get one within like 10 mins Let me know if you know how to find the maintenance one too. That would be some good savings in oil even though I don't like other people working on my cars...
