Don't get butthurt, cool guy. This is the intarweb. BTW, congrats on your extra year of resale value. Perhaps you should have waited another year, so you gain an additional resale value and save more $$$? I should have waited for the 2018 model so I can have a very good resale value and save tons of $ according to your thought process.

Depends when your gonna buy i mean if you only end up having to wait a extra month or two i think it would be worth waiting that time, but then again i would wait that time and go for a good deal on the 13's, get the money up front for mods lol

Ahhaa...I see what you did there.

Sorry, but I'm having a hard time seeing the salt.

resale value higher? I think in ten years the 13 worth more than 14 since the 13's were first year of production of the car

No butthurt here, just questioning the motives of your original comment. Obviously, I'm not going to "wait" for the model 4 years down the road (exaggerate much?)... but buying at the end of '13 vs getting one of the early '14s? My pockets aren't endless, so it makes fiscal sense for me to go with the latter. I didn't even know about the rumored changes until after I put in my order.

Maybe if you were selling to someone who actually knew/appreciated the history of the car and its production. Probably not the same case with your average uninformed buyer; all they look at is KBB value and standard depreciation rates

dany- personally I like owning the first year and I won't sell it for at least a few decades so if I ever sell it the market will be very kind to the first year model

lol wut?

Don't get me wrong, I respect your personal preference, and I can see your reasoning behind it. Just makes me smh when I see someone putting down the decisions of others just to validate their own

dany- just bringing up a different prespective since your basing your decision on resell value. For this car and the niche I see 13's keeping resell value over 14 year

If I was looking for this car ten years for now, I'd go for a '14. Essentially the same as the '13, but certain to have all the fixes.

zxt- hate to tell you this but they didnt fix anything not included with any car made in 2013.

Suuure, tell the buyer that your car is part of the first production run, and help him realize what this actually implies. (yes, first batch flaws)

Hah!

Just saying all sports car first year comes at a premium

There are no fixes in this specific vehicle, however that is usually the case in most cars, you are right.

There is absolutely no reason to get a 2013 instead of a 2014 at this point, unless you are getting a great deal.

With Clint, you are getting a great deal with both (if he still has 2013s), so yeah...

Actually now my 14's are 2 dollars cheaper than thirteen but DH you have to pay on fourteen. All below invoice!

Those are headlight washers, something common on Euro cars.

nope.

Pound- please give an example

Pretty much any sports car where there were better / more limited editions down the line. Think Pontiac gto. Would you rather have a 64 gto, or the 69 gto judge?

More recently, how's something like an og miata holding up in resale?

Your example totally redefined the body plus I know plenty that would rather have the 1964. I geuss if you plan on modding then it's different. Because they are only worth more original and taken care of.

Jesus christ, you people are absurd. Stop pissing on a "good news everyone" thread to make stupid and pointless arguments about what you feel is important in a car.

This whole resale value and not-having-your-favorite-feature thing is just so overplayed.

^Thank you.

Sometimes it takes a Raptor, Smoking a pipe to realize this. :respekt:

Some people preferring it does not mean it comes at a premium, and yeah, cars change. ;(

2014 didn't change from 2013 model. So bad example and a well cared for 64 would have a higher price than a 69

Clint,

Thank you for sharing! It is great to hear that the 2014's are hitting American soil.

How many of your 2014s are still unaccounted for?

About 48 in all trim levels plus 13 on the lot now as in (2013 WRB 1, red 1 and the remaining black and silver)

I just bought a 14 at 400 under dealer. 6mt Limited, popular package 2B for $27,208 ($27,765 out the door with tax, admin and tags). Has the chrome fuel door that they agreed to remove and replace with painted. Also the ubiquitous rear bumper "applique".

I'm not sorry i waited.

Wish i got the same deal. My local dealership in california wouldn't budge under MSRP. Im looking at 29k 32 OTD for automatic limited. Might see what clint can offer me

That's great that you got a deal, but not everyone has that power when there's a lack of Subaru dealerships in some places.

Supply and demand. For some reason they don't seem to move a lot here. Of course we have the Bimmer plant and they say there are more BMW's per capita here than anywhere else in the world.

Same dealer owns both franchises. The BMW dealership is at least 20 times the size of the Suby. I doubt they have 40 cars, all models, on the Subaru lot.

I'm 1,000+ under invoice just FYI

I recently put an order in with Clint for 2014. He is the way to go. Didn't bother talking to Kearny Mesa. Irvine Subaru wouldn't budge from MSRP as well.

I picked up my '14 from Clint last Friday. Save some dough and go on a road trip! You won't regret it.

Congratulations!

I cannot wait to get mine in a Month or so… :cheers:

-Nate

Thanks! I'm loving it!

Any advice for somebody who will be making a similar road trip from CO to SoCal? Any specific routes to take, attractions to see, places to eat?

Clint sent me a pic of mine today ^_^
The white thing near the headlight is just some tape
