It was a woman with a silver Limited MT. Lucky her!

So that's another CA VIN/ETA in the books!

He (Larry Fung) also said that he had someone back out of a pre-order.
Red, Limited, MT
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, wanted to say thanks to uspspro for the above tip! I was able to get my name down over the weekend for the Red Limited MT that became available due to someone backing out. Larry at Carlsen Subaru told me it would be one of the 18 cars they'd be receiving but that there was no particular order in which the cars would be coming into the dealership...ie, I could be number 3 or number 18 or whatever, similar to some of the stories that others are posting in this thread. One thing he did say is that he'd heard the first ship coming into Richmond CA contained approximately 40% automatic transmission cars, but he didn't know why the proportion was that high unless they were just getting through all the autos first before ramping up production of the manuals.

Anyway, thanks again everyone, glad I'm in the running now!
