If you think you would feel better about the situation by negotiating, you can negotiate with a Subaru dealer on a BRZ.
Now I noticed in your statement "4.99 rate" and noticed they haven't ran your credit score yet. They're just using this as the "average credit" rate (we do this too when we haven't pulled credit). If you're a 700+ beacon, THIS is what I would negotiate for, a better rate. Don't let them hold you to that rate if this is the case. If you've graduated college within the past 2 years or looking to graduate in the next 6 months, you can also receive a $750 college grad rebate, along with special financing (as long as you have a job and there's no derogatory marks on your credit). Other than that, they really can't discount the vehicle for you.
I hope this helps! (:

Thanks for the info. However I'm not looking at new as of yet; I would prefer to get used and the vehicle that the dealership is bringing in for me is a used 2013 FRS. I made the comparison that the price for the FRS they are bringing in is similar to the price of a brand new 2014 so Im hoping they would come down on the price of the used 2013 because of that but as you pointed out not sure if this could be used because of the pure price policy.
In terms of the credit score, I'm pretty sure they have already ran it as I did have to sign off on them running my credit score. I know I have really good credit (800+) so I'm assuming the 4.99% is a decent rate, although perhaps in addition to the total price of the car this could be negotiated also?
