What is surprising is when I asked him when he was going to get a PP in stock, He said the STI parts aren't available yet.... I cleared it up by telling him that I'm not interested in anything but the PP. He was oblivious at the package entirely and thought I was talking about some cosmetic options. I explained there is a package that includes dampers, wheels, and breaks for about 1,200 bucks and he said he would call me back.

Should I look into a new sales rep or dealership? It's gotta be super easy for a sales rep to get a sale like mine as I already know what I want. I know these models are new, but if your calling to make a sale the least you can do is do some homework.
unknowledgeable subaru salespeople is becoming something of a meme.

doesn't matter as long as you get the price you're looking for.
it's fun to play dumb and listen to them spin a yarn sometimes - "the PP is only available in Canada and is dealer installed option that you have to order the parts for" or something like that.
