2 weeks from getting a brz

[tr1x5tuh]

hey guys I'm from 92683 and i need some help. i was wondering which dealership i should go to. I have a really good amount for a down payment but i don't want to get raped. Did anyone have a good experience in irvine or south coast subaru?

Hi,

Check out Pacific Subaru. They're the top rated Subie dealership in socal.

TBH, just set an amount you like and go with it. Also, don't write off getting the car from Clint @ Heuberger in Colorado. A flight to CO Springs + driving back + car will still likely be cheaper than what some of the dealers here will offer.

I got an email the other day from a Subie dealership about a WRB or black Limited for 27,200. That's almost $1500 off MSRP and close to Factory Invoice. If you're comfortable with that, set that as your price. Do not let dealers push you into anything else! Good luck!

out the door? & he's right about clint @ heuberger. even if you get the car delivered you're likely to save quite a bundle~

I had a great experience at south coast, but if I had known about the Colorado man I would have done it that way to save a grip of money, it basically would have been wheels and coils difference in price..

$27,200 sticker, probably be closer to 29-30k otd with taxes and tags.

thanks guys for the input. my buddy used to work at south coast subi and he said there shouldn't be a mark up on a limited MT BRZ and he double checked for me as well. but heres a quick question though. who is fully satisfied with their BRZ? my buddy owns a FRS and he said its like nothing but problems for him. he got it in mid 2013

just to let you know that 2013 brzs are getting discounted in LA. You should get out and start looking. I got an email from Renick Subaru that they start selling brz below msrp.
For those are marking up, you can tell them that you wish them plenty luck and hope they could get out of the lot next year.
I bought my car from CO, but that was due to markup and msrp. If I could get the car slightly expensive here, I would just buy my car local. Try to avoid the hassle. Again, it is up to you. Your money your call.
I had plenty luck that my car was delivered in perfect condition.

Just remember, don't pay MSRP for one. It should be at least 1000-1500 below MSRP, if you're paying anything more, the dealer is taking advantage of you.

As far as problems, can you be more specific?

There are definitely some issues/quirks with the car, but I'm fully satisfied with mine so far. It makes for a great DD and a fun weekend warrior. Just be sure to understand what you're getting ( Low HP, agile/lightweight RWD Platform ).

Was it on one of the 14s or on a 13? They might be only offering MSRP on a 14 ( which is totally lame ). Anyways, GJ buying from Clint. One SoCal dealership that will never ever earn my business is Puente Hills, just a bunch of scumbags all around. lol @ their markup attempt back in September.

I can't recommend Clint enough - was a very easy no bs buying experience and I got a 2014 limited 6mt for 25900 before taxes. Beats the hell out of dealers out here.

That's freaking awful .

I got $1000 off MSRP on my BRZ. If I had a chance to go back, I'd probably get it from Clint anyways because the SoCal dealers are generally garbage or just get an FR-S.
