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.

Damn you are lucky bro. Must not be that many people wanting BRZ's in your area.
