South Coast Subaru and Irvine Subaru
 

South Coast Subaru:

Spoke with Sales rep on the phone who told me that they are going to be receiving 8 cars and have 25 pre-orders that will be sold at a minimum of 5k over MSRP.


Irvine Subaru:

Getting 35 cars between May and the end of the year, the pre-order list is filled up and now they're only taking names. They expect for the lot cars to be arriving in May/June and the ordered cars in July/August.


El Cajon Subaru:

Per Todd the Sales GM they are not taking pre-orders they will sell them as they come in.


Kearny Mesa Subaru:

Spoke with Von, receiving 11 and 4 have already been sold, so there are 7 left. $500 deposit.

I may have missed the boat waiting for the damn prices to show up... But at this rate it seems that they will have enough pent-up demand to carry dealer markup into 2013 on these. That alone might push me into the FR-S simply because I don't want to wait another year :bs:

list updated.

you can tell south coast subaru to F off.

My girlfriend preordred from South Coast. #2 on the list, there was no 5K over MSRP BS. You are talking to the wrong guy over there.

WOW! After seeing a BRZ in person, there's no way this car is worth more than a grand over MSRP - whatever that'll be. Friggin insane!

South coast subaru also told me the depost is $1k and non-refundable. ha.. I took my pre-order else where.

I've done business with South Coast....and I will never again. They're incompetent morons.

What's "lot cars" mean? Are those the ones NOT included in the "preorder/group buy cars" i.e. the ones that we're on the list for? Meaning we don't get our cars till Summer?

The way that post was worded makes it seem that the dealers will sandbag the people with pre-orders since we're already in. Then jack up the prices for the "lot" cars. Pretty smart, and shaddy, if you ask me. They can mark up the lot cars to those who didn't pre-order and have fairly guaranteed sales for the pre-ordered cars. It's a win-win situation for the dealers. For those that pre-ordered they can say that they will be guaranteed a car and get MSRP to boot.

Let's hope that this is not the case...

From what I gathered, there are a number of cars that they are getting, and of those cars, they will try to sell them off the lot over MSRP first before turning them over to the pre-orders.

super shady.

Not only is it shady sounding, but that means that we who pre-ordered in the GB have to wait till Summer, right? F word!

I can hear it now...

"but remember... you'll get one for certain and at MSRP" :bonk::(

I still can't believe anyone would pay $5K over MSRP for the BRZ when the FR-S will not only be cheaper, BUT IT'S THE SAME CAR! Come on people! Do you really think that the because the car says Subaru and not Scion it's that much better? This reminds me of the same people that would pay $12K more for the Lexus over the Toyota when they are the same car and then watch the Lexus depreciate faster than the Toyota would have.

There are way too many entitled douchbags in the United States right now, we need a good Apocalypse.

exactly my take.
