The Best Dealer in Sacramento, CA
 
Hi. I'm thinking to buy a new BRZ from a dealer in my area. I live in Davis area which is not really far from Sacramento. Anyone live in the same area? any recommendation for the dealer that I should be dealing with? I just don't want to end up with regretting my experience with a dealer. Why not if I can get a recommendation from you guys.

Appreciate any comments and thoughts. Please help. Thanks

Hmm, I didn't really buy a BRZ from Elk Grove Subaru, but the people that I talked with there were pretty decent. I recommend Mike Waller, the internet sales (manager?) since he provided me with enough information that he definitely knew and avoided any rumors.

However, I've noticed Elk Grove Subaru has priced their BRZs above MSRP and that's disappointing (prior to release, they honored MRSP). From what I can see, Maita Subaru doesn't have as big of a mark up, but the dealership is smaller than the Elk Grove one.

I think there's a Subaru near Vacaville area as well.

At any rate, probably a better idea to move this to the California area of the boards. Best of luck on the BRZ

I got it! I tried to contact them and they seem friendly but I also saw that Elk Groove was putting enormous mark up to their BRZ.

Any recommendation for other Subaru dealers around NorCal? Thanks

I bought my FRS from Yuba City Toyota Scion at MSRP. Talk to Kitt Kinne, sales manager and tell him Russ sent you. He's a good guy.

also check with Lithia Subaru in Reno, NV. They are selling BRZs at MSRP and may be getting cars in more frequently than some NorCal dealers. Guy I spoke to was Palmer, seemed like a decent guy.

Did you order the car from Lithia? I just want to finalize the deal in ordering a new one soon. Do you get it at MSRP? is there any bonus? Thanks! I found out they're really helpful!

No, I ended up going with another dealer in CO who will ship the car to me. Changed my mind about color, otherwise I would have bought the one in stock from Lithia.

Do the dealer in CO places mark up? or at MSRP? I got below $500 with Lithia. I know, the one CO is willing to ship, but how much is it?

I got mine at $700 below MSRP. Cost is $650 to ship the car. So yeah pretty close to MSRP even when you include that. $500 below is great, especially if it's close enough to drive it home.

How long does it take to be delivered? Yapp, I got it $500 below and Lithia is just 2 hours 42 minutes aways from where I live. But I have to wait for 12-16 weeks before it arrives. How about you?

PMok 08-30-2012 03:11 AM

I was told 2-3 months for a custom order. Ordered 7/14, arrival ETA is 9/17.

Hey! I might change my mind and order from them also! Jenn the Internet manager told me I might get it on October! It's really great to hear I don't have to wait for too long
