I have a feeling your friend tried to follow up with or was followed up by Za...and since it sounded like you guys sorta butted heads last time you met, he's holding a grudge on you now and won't let you just place a normal $500 refundable deposit lol.
I feel for your friend. I worked with a manager that made the sales process way more difficult than it was.

Walser only asked for a $500 deposit when I pre-ordered mine and the deposit was refundable.
I actually just cancelled my pre-order with Walser and went with Morrie's in Brooklyn Park instead. Morrie's has a lifetime powertrain warranty free of charge. When I asked the sales person the differences between the original powertrain warranty vs. their lifetime powertrain, he said that it was slightly different. He didn't go into the specifics as I'm assuming he doesn't have the list of things that are covered memorized, but it will cover most of it.
Morrie's will be allocated 16 BRZs between their 2 dealers. The sales manager said that the BRZ allocation system is based on the STIs, and since their dealer sells the most in the state of MN, they're allocated more BRZs. I'm currently #2 on the list.
The sales manager and the sales person told me that the official price will be available on the Subaru pre-ordering system. If that's true, we can expect prices on 3/1.
When asked if they'll mark up the price from MSRP, the sales manager said there was a possibility, but it won't be anything outrageous. Just as an example, he told me that they marked up the GTR by $1,000. Considering that the GTR is about $90,000, a 1% mark up isn't that bad.
