Modesto subaru is also selling at MSRP and they ARE taking orders, but they only get 4 for this year and all 4 are sold. So you're waiting until 2013 and they probably don't have much allocation. I suppose if they got a lot of preorders their allocation might improve but you're taking a chance there of waiting longer... i think the guy said they have 3 pre orders already for 2013.
Napa subaru has one in their showroom as of yesterday, WRB Limited AT, with some port addons... pop1b, gas lid, bumper applique. the guy was vague but said they were asking $2-4K markup, perhaps negotiable.
If I absolutely WANTED to have one right now (and realistically, no one NEEDS this car, this is a toy or luxury item), I would keep calling around to see who has the car on the lot, and try to negotiate down the markup as much as possible. There is just too much demand and not enough supply to find available cars at MSRP in the area right now. If you can wait... then save some money and wait. I am trying to be patient and I really don't need another car, so I won't pay over MSRP on principle. Paying over MSRP just enables/justifies the dealers to markup the next time and every time a "hot" new car arrives.
