I should be taking delivery tomorrow (I put a deposit down this weekend) once my credit union cuts my financing check.
Thanks man!

Some cities (El Monte CA, for example) have much higher tax rates versus the rest of the county.

You guys are right! Totally forgot about that.

Yes, in almost everything! LOL!

I got mine as a preorder from Capitol Subaru - no break on price except a small discount on the maintenance plan - so MSRP. But so far I've had a great experience with them.

Capitol Subaru was one of the few dealers who would do MSRP even on a pre-order in my area. Off the lot- I'm sure there is a mark-up.

(Edit: Ok this thread claims they aren't marking up off-the lot sales http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42914 )
Might have to go check them out. Thanks man!

If I waited- I bet deals were better on the 2013 now that it's closer to year end.

In any case - different people, different circumstances...not so long ago I'd probably have went with whatever saved $$ cus then I had plenty of spare time.
Well said!

I live in Canada though...
Canada really sells cars for a lot more pricier than the USA. Know someone who lives there and bought an 2009 M3. The price was ridiculous compared to here.

That price is not bad at all!

My same weapon of choice whenever I go visit a subaru dealership. I will be trying a new strategy, which is just start e-mailing the internet sales guy on the Subaru dealerships that I have not been to.


Anyways, thanks for all the replies guys. As much as possible I want to purchase a BRZ here in the Bay Area, but If it comes down to the wire, I might have to go out of state and go for Clint's offer.

This is really a wonderful forum. Really helpful members here. Cheers to all who have helped me. This is for you guys ---> :happy0180:
