Initial "gotta have it now" demand is drying up, in September Capitol was putting leather on every car they could, now I don't think they're installing leather at all. I called it months ago; beginning of summer they'll be sitting on the lots collecting dust like every other sports car, especially if dealers are still playing games.

Yup, I agree with this since I have been searching this past month for a BRZ. Most of the BRZs that was still in showrooms in the beginning of the month are still available with 2-3k markup. They also have the rear diffuser which I wasn't fond of. What's keeping me from buying right now is the markup and being hopeful of news on 2014 BRZ at the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon next month.

I wouldn't expect much change on the 2014 other than bug fixes and a few more options (mainly for the Scion).

Chuck Patterson in Chico has a Firestorm and Whiteout currently on the lot, I didn't stop to see what transmissions were in them. I don't recall seeing plates mounted on the front, so anyone looking for a car without bumper holes this might be your best bet.

Fair warning - I bought my car from them and I wasn't super happy about the overall customer service level.

If you do decide to buy from them, ask for Ryan Deitz. Old carting buddy of mine; I didn't find out he worked there until after I had purchased mine. He is also the internet sales manager so you won't have to deal with the BS I went through.

Chico red has that logod bumper. Not really what I wanted. Has bespoke too so its listed as like 26500

Wish the dealers weren't putting in that custom leather...

Same here. I was at Putnam Scion in Burlingame a few days ago and all 3 of their FR-S inventory had leather installed for 4K markup. Ridiculous price for custom leather.

Piercey Scion in Milpitas still has a nice Lava FR-S on display, but with a TRD exhaust and aftermarket wheels pushing the price north of 30K *sigh*...

yea thats piercey does. they marked up too much. but somebody bought the raven five axis edition for 38k asking price. wonder who got it. lol

JackSmiley bought the full axis edition for 45k$ or so i heard. (Coconuts told me)

I wonder if I put a deposit down for a future allocation they would sell it outright with no dealer-installed nonsense.

I heard this also.


BTW Piercy did sell me my car for MSRP. I think they get so many allocations because they are such a large volume dealer so they they sell some at MSRP but do take some and add shit on and jack the price through the effing ROOF!

That's good to hear! Maybe I'll drop by again next week and try to discuss a deal ü.

I've been trying to do this since October, good luck.

Get them to confirm the PRICE in writing, I think that's where my big mistake was.

yeahh i got mine for close to 27:sigh:k cus the added tinted windows n beatsonic fin n clear bra glass coat etc... marked it up for about 2k

Thats not actually too bad... Clearbra is around 9 for decent coverage.. BS fin and tint are another 3-350, so $700ish is a convenience price and also allows you bargaining if anything goes wrong on any of those things.

BRZ are available below MSRP, way below, if you can drive to PHX, pm me for details on my contact at the dealership.
Here are the 2 of the 2013 Subaru BRZ’s that are incoming this month with approx ETA of 1/21/13.

2013 BRZ Limited manual in Sterling Silver with Popular PKG #1B MSRP of $28807.00 sale price of $27988.00 plus fees, over $800 off MSRP

2013 BRZ Limited Automatic in World Rally Blue with Popular PKG #1B MSRP of $29907.00 sale price $28998.00 plus fees, over $900 off MSRP

The Popular PKG #1B consists of auto dimming mirror with compass & homelink, rear bumper appliqué, chrome fender trim, cargo tray, and wheel locks.


I dont sell these, I have a great relationship with the dealership and can refer members, I dont work for them.

Sorry buddy, that looks like a whole bunch of markup to me;
http://www.subaru.com/vehicles/brz/index.html
Subaru BRZ Premium MT $25,495 + $770 Destination/Delivery = $26,265
AT = +$1,100, ($27,365)
Limited MT= $28,265

At least that's how I define MSRP, some may disagree. If you want the add-ons more power to you.

Edit: butdamnbrian is correct, I swapped trim levels

youve got limited and premium mixed up

Firestorm automatic at Yuba City Scion. Also used Argento (apparently the guy's wife didn't like it).

Piercey toyota has a Raven AT with five:ad body kit, katzkin and trd exhaust for $34119 and a Hot Lava MT five:ad s5's, trd exhaust and lowering springs for $31315.

Saw a WRB on Stevens Creek Subaru on the lot. Just driove by, no details.

Just bought a BR-Z from Putnam Subaru in Burlingame. Had a good deal on it too!

Interesting. One of the salespeople called me 4 days ago and said they discounted that same Hot Lava to 30K flat xD.

I was there last Friday, it's a Limited 6MT and marked up by 4K :bonk:. I asked about ordering a BRZ there but wanted me to provide my social security number! Said that Subaru needs that information to place the order. I don't see why they need that unless they want to run a credit check or something. I smelled fish and just walked away.

LOL, that probably may be the car that I ordered long time ago....anyway, found a couple FRS listed at MSRP on Craiglist too.

Another new Argento automatic at Yuba City Scion

One Toyota in Oakland just got a Firestorm Red one with a manual.

Thank you! We are getting this one :burnrubber:

Was picking up some touch-up paint from Downtown Subaru in Oakland and saw that they had a WRB Limited on display. My wife and I were in a rush, so sorry, no other details.

Asphalt MT and Ultramarine AT are available in dalycity City Toyota. Both are installed with bespoke navi tho.

You're welcome. Who are you working with there?

I work for a company called Club Sportiva that rents out exotic and sports cars. We got this as a run around car for us that fits our image and we will rent the FRS as well. After seeing mine lots of my coworkers have fallen in love lol

My aunt/uncle and their friends did the rental thing with you guys and loved it. :w00t:

Glad they had a good time with us!

My boss just signed up to book the model s, begging him to give me a ride to work lol.

Black is still there inside the showroom , Hot Lava i think is gone now (it was outside displayed on the mini pedestal @ the service center area) unless they moved it somewhere else.

As a rental or member? Lots of us were skeptical of the Model S but it has won everyone over. Such a cool car

Not to drag this of topic discussion, but yes, rental. Did a tour of the nummi plant on a Tesla event and was really impressed with the engineering of the car, guess I'm not the only one.

my dealer in the south bay has one that just got off the truck. red manual. pm your info if your interested. wont last long

Anyone have a line on a BRZ Limited manual in blue/red/white at MSRP within 200 miles of Marin? I'm able to find 2 used blue ones at or above MSRP and one red one, price TBD.

Just read this even though I ask you what it is in the other thread.

Any discounts available??? Lol.
