After all this time thinking and talking... I decided to get this:
 

Ordered. I left out the cigarette lighter this time. First car without one.

And I thought VA sales tax was bad!
Either way, congrats on your purchase!! I recently joined the club too! You got a pretty good deal as well.

Engine block heater ?

Need to add four snow tires/wheels to go with that one...

And what is severe weather companion ? Is that a warm woman or a cold man ?


Our tax rate here is 8.75%, and plates on a new car are over $500...way cheaper in New York.

Delivery Date F/O....is that a NYC acronym for Fuck Off ??

yea but I would never buy tires from a dealer. I am sure he can find a good deal on general altimax artic winter tires.

That is a good question. I don't know if it is a warm woman or cold man yet. I guess after I blow it a few times to inflate to the right size, I will know. I am leaving all that for a surprise for that right moment when I am stuck somewhere at night, shivering and lonely with my car not starting.

they seem reasonably priced. Thank you for the information.

It sucks how it ships with non all seasons. Salesman said all of his WRX's and all of his BRZ's he has sold are listed as "performance tires", always summer tires so far. I have no idea what I am going to do with summer prius tires if I take delivery in March in New York. March is quite nasty in New York. :iono:

Nice. Interesting that they had this all made up before the car arrives. I'm supposed to get payment stuff settled a month before delivery.

In any case congrats!

Haha, now that they have your money they are saying you can F/O regards to the delivery.

You picked the best color! Congrats on the car. :D

I had a block heater in my Crosstrek. It was so nice to get in the car and be able to turn the heat on immediately because the water in the system is warm. The small bit of heat that transfers to the tranny also helps it work better those first few minutes when it's 0 or below.

The plate fee is probably to transfer from his old car not new ones, just a guess.

Yeah OP, better be ready to show up with winter tires mounted and ready to go when you pick the car up. The stock tires suck in a big way on cold pavement.

Oh, single digit tax rates, that's cute.

That's about it........ Yup. Hm. I guess this is it for next several years before it comes in.

Toyota/Subaru has a plan...

Remove crickets for the 2018 model cars.

alternative plan for 2018...Add turbo so customers hear turbo rather than the crickets.

lol i forgot about the Crickets issue!! I was thinking more like waiting for something and hearing only crickets. Ironic!
