I figured I should make one of these since I have done it for the last couple of cars I had.

Last Monday, 2/20/17, I picked up my 2017 Crystal White Pearl BRZ with Performance Package. In early November, I decided it was time to move on from my 2005 Honda S2000 to a new platform, but a "more practical" similar car.

On 11/12/16, I walked into my local dealership and ended up walking out with an order placed for a 2017 CWP BRZ with no add ons or no packages attached to it. At the time, I poorly assumed that the performance package was far more expensive than it actually was so I never inquired about it (and somehow the salesman never explicitly stated the price). I was originally given an estimated delivery of December, but after reading on here, I knew that would be wrong. I didn't realize how wrong it would be as the car ended up being estimated for arrival at the end of March!

Fast forward to 2/10/17 and I go to my dealership to check out the series.yellow that they just got in (I hadn't even seen a '17 yet, I test drove a '16 model). I end up walking out requesting them to find me a CWP w/PP coming in or to possibly re-order one. I get home and my salesman calls me to tell me that they found a CWP w/PP and it was coming in next week at another dealership. He asked if I wanted it and I said yes right away.

So here I am now with a CWP w/PP and popular package #3. I'm very happy as I got the car a month early, with the packages I wanted, and for a great price.

I enjoy modding my cars, but I will keep this one bone stock for at least the first six months or one year. I'd like to learn the car before I make any performance changes. It's also currently my daily driver so I've got to consider that.

Here she is on the day I took her home and the day after:

Coincidentally, my coworker actually purchased a '14 WRB on the same Monday that I purchased mine too. Now we're BRZ buddies.
