So I've been working with Carter Subaru in shoreline WA for a while, and I'm 3rd in line on that preorder list. They don't want a deposit or anything as they don't have pricing. They are pretty firm about the MSRP pricing, understandably- since this will be a high demand car.
Well I swung by Walkers subaru in Renton today to talk to them about the BRZ, and they wanted to sell one to me so bad, that they told me if I signed a non-refundable deposit slip for 1k that they would put me first in line. I balked at the non-refundable part and told them I was already working with Carter, so they'd haveto come in at 500 under MSRP and I'd sign with them. Ultimately, they agreed to 400 under MSRP, 0 deposit, and putting me 1st in line with a 72 hour first right of refusal on the car. (And they made a ton of jokes about selling the car for wayyyy above MSRP, something Carter would never really do. I kinda/sorta can't believe they'd bump all their other verbal pre-order peeps for me, but I guess I was the first to sign the preorder paper they had).
Carter will get 20 BRZs this year, and Walkers will get 16.
