BRZ's Available In Portland, ME. No Markups.
 

I just recently purchased my limited MT from this dealership for sticker price. I'm having it shipped across the country and know they have others on the lot. Ask for Jackie Parker and she will hook you up!

To elaborate.

They have 2 BRZ Limited MT
One In Lightning Red
And One In Blue Pearl

Is shipping a grip to the west coast?

It cost me 1900$ to get it to me in 9 days.
It could cost around 1500$ to do standard open which would take 2-3 weeks.

You couldn't find one closer to where you live?

I'm sure with a little patience and persistence I could have.
But since I'm impatient and saw this one at the dealership when I was visiting family, I jumped on it.

Seems odd you would have chosen the furthest dealer possible, I know tons of dealers here in NH have BRZ's available, and I can't imagine those in the mid-west are all sold either.

Like he said, he was visiting family, saw it, it was available, and he snagged it. I would have done the same if I were him. Grats on the car, OP!

Hey if we were all the same it would be pretty boring! Having said that, the idea of paying those kind of dollars for shipping this car across the country would not even be considered by me.

To each his own....enjoy!
