Haha I'll be trading in my 2011 CR-Z when I get the BRZ. Might see if we can do a deal to trade in my wife's fit at the same time and get her a WRX.

I'm currently not driving the Fit right now so it's just eating up money. Don't know if I want to just sell it now to the dealer or trade it in at Subaru for the tax benefit. The problem is that we don't know when the BRZ officially comes out so the car will just be sitting here for at least another couple of months.

Either way, I agree with you Neutron about the BRZ arriving first. If this is the case, I might bail on the FR-S and BRZ it up. Once my connection gives me some info, I'll be the first to report it here about dates and important info such as product stock.

Yeah, I'm not sure how accurate the guy was so take it with a grain of salt. He was checking their system after I asked him if orders were starting yet. He basically said orders haven't started then mumbled...except it looks like one went through.

Yeah. I was working with Justin.

He's the only one I don't really know, so I can't speak to how he actually is...

Maybe I'll just pester everyone else I know

With the exception of the first 86 people I'm still betting we'll see BRZ's here before we see The FRS. Scion has their strategy of starting at the coasts and working inward when rolling out new cars.

This sounds about right. Even finding out there will be a BRZ at the autoshow and no FRS seems to support this. Unless something changes, June is probably when we'll see them here.

Yeah, he's a younger guy. Nice dude, laid back. Felt like I was meeting him for a few beers.

MN members, is there any possibility dealers locally will price the BRZ above MSRP?



I'm just curious because I'm thinking about going for the higher-end features...

Once some of us acutally have our cars I would love to have a meetup. And I'd be happy to give a ride to a fellow enthusiast.

Chances are pretty low in our area that they will be priced above MSRP. All the Subaru dealers have moved to the one-price system. Chances are the car will not have any marked discount at some dealerships whereas others will. You can thank the Walser family of dealerships that have completely changed this whole market into the one-price, no negotiations, no haggle way of selling. Whether your take on thanking them is positive or negative, it's purely up to you.

They will however, negotiate if you see one dealership is discounting at x amount of dollars vs. them not discounting at all. They will not show their discounted pricing on their websites and want you to contact them to find out the discount. I found that if you go to cars.com, you can see cars.com have the retail price of the car w/discount and compare the same car to the msrp on the dealer's website. They typically flat rate discount per model so it's pretty easy to figure the discount from that point on.

I'm fully expecting to pay MSRP + destination charge for my BRZ. Not that I won't try and negotiate, but I know I'm at a disadvantage trying to get the car early on.

Sold my Fit to Acura in Brooklyn Park last night. They offered me the most value.

Now the wait is on for the BRZ.

Congrats on the Fit sale!

I got an email on my tC from my credit union letting me know value and equity built on it...I'm kicking ass! I can't wait to debt up again in a few months and destroy that equity.
