Illegal for it not to be.

As for pricing that depends on your relationship with the dealer.

Did Mastro state they would offer VIP pricing on the BRZ? Sanford is not too far from me and I would be willing to preorder based on VIP pricing if you think they would be open to it.

Last time I asked they wouldn't say until SoA decided what they were doing.

Yep same up here... Unfortunately given supply/demand, I bet SOA holds off on VIP for BRZ for a while. Sounds like you have a strong relationship with Mastro, so if SOA votes "no" on VIP initially, are they telling you MSRP or slightly below?

We haven't discussed it yet. Technically they aren't taking orders yet... we will start talking at that level once orders can be placed.

I'm dealing with the Tampa one, but if you are interested I can try to work a group price with them and see where it goes.

Let me know what you find out. I am #2 on the preorder list with my dealer and they have assured me the ability to place an order for their first shipment, and I think they are thinking MSRP.

Edit: yes if you are planning to get one right out of the gate when preordering is available, I would be interested in a group purchase. Run it past them to see what they would be willing to work for a 2 car deal -- something less than MSRP, and if that is the case, I will be happy to send you my contact info.

Hey I'm from the Orlando area so I would be down too if you can work out some group pricing

I havent been to Maestro yet, I figured when they announce pricing I would go put in a preorder

Depends on state and the contract you sign. If it states it is non-refundable....

Good luck on getting invoice on the first year BRZ. Not sure why dealers would even go below MSRP the first year.

So should I pre-order for $500 over invoice and just wait and see if VIP Pricing becomes available? Then I could get a refund for the deposit and buy it with VIP Pricing if it becomes available?

Has anyone else been offered to pre-order it for $500 over invoice or even a better deal? I feel like this may be a good opportunity that Im being offered here...

Sounds like a good deal. Are you purchasing or financing?

I will be trading in my Evo X and putting down a small down payment. Financing the rest. He stated that the order bank will be open soon, so once pricing is announced I would expect orders to begin.

Correct it does vary by state law.

Of course anyone who signs a contract stating it's non-refundable (in a state that allows it) almost deserves to lose it...

I'll talk to my contact at the dealer tomorrow.

Got ya. Sorry I meant purchasing vs leasing.

Just be careful they don't screw you on trade in to give you $500 over invoice. Might want to sell privately?

Cool. Let us know what the dealer says.
