My SWP BRZ with pictures!!!!!! =D
 
Here's my story, I've been out of the country for the last 3 months, in Vietnam to be exact. While I was over there, I overheard there would be a car show near my house and that there might be a BRZ there. Having never seen a BRZ in person I was uber excited! The day came and I went, got to check the car out in person and just fell in love on the spot with it. I spent the remaining 2 months over there reading what I can about the car. Hyping myself up, but then when it came to buying the car, I couldn't find a single dealership selling one in my area, well there was one but they had it marked at 36K which was outrageous. Anyhoo, I was about to just settle for a newer gen Civic or something until I decided to check out one of the dealerships just to see what they have to say about the waiting list. So I went to a Subaru dealership nearby and asked and they said they were completely booked, none left =( As I was walking out to my car the salesman chased after me saying "one just opened up!!!" He took me in and showed me the details, it was a MT SWP Limited, exact trim and color I wanted. I consider myself pretty unlucky most times but that day just changed that. Blah blah blah, I bought the car on the spot. The car was to be delivered to the dealership in 4 days. And that was that.... =)

Here she is, I haven't done much with her. I replaced cabin/door/trunk/plate/reverse with LED's and I swapped the amber signal bulbs for chrome ones. I also swapped the stock exhaust tips out for some DC sport tips I found at Pepboys =)

Great Choice! I am waiting for mine :(

hey v33vo, bob moore? did you get it in edmond? thats where i got mine too. i was their first customer to buy the first BRZ they ordered. they had it at $34k i wasnt going to buy it first until someone canceled their order at the southside subaru. it was a crystal black silica, and they had it for $29k. long story short i went back to bob moore and they matched the price for 29k, i couldnt walk away from it, so i bought it! i went recently for my oil change and i spoke with the sales person who sold me it, i asked him which colors were bought. this is what he told me; theres a crystal black silica, dark grey metallic, satin white pearl ( you ) and wr blue pearl ( mine ) in the city and a lighting red in edmond as of right now. funny part is i still havent seen any of the other BRZs, i have seen a silver and red FR-S though.

that's me, do you happen to work at the Lowe's on May and like 38th?? I see a WRB there all the time. When are your break times?? I'll stop by sometimes

Longhorn248 08-26-2012 10:43 PM

I'm liking those LED lights, I think I'm going to have to pick up a set for mine.

Bfly 08-26-2012 11:01 PM

Congrats! I actually made a trip to Bob Moore in OKC (I think the same one you bought yours at) just to see the BRZ in person. They had a red one on their showroom floor for a long time but they had the price jacked up on it!

v33vo 08-26-2012 11:05 PM

yep, I remember that red one. It's the one they were asking 36k for. After like 2 month I guess they figured it was way over priced they dropped it to 29k
