Bought my SWP Limited at Peoria Subaru in Arizona at invoice. One small advise tho', when you purchase your new car out of state, they may offer you a temporary registration for you to be able to drive around for 90 days. BUT, you still need to register your new vehicle in the state of California within 10 days of entering the state. Meaning, if you are planning to drive (or have it delivered) your brand new car back to California, you have 10 days to report to California DMV upon entering the state border. I made a mistake by depending on my 90 day temporary registration given by my dealership and ended up spending a couple hundred dollars in penalty.

Good luck with all your purchases!
