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.

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.

Even better news for you ayau. This place seems like the place to buy a BRZ. Any idea of where you ended up on the list of 16?
