I wanted to add the dealer I bought my car from to the list.

Lancaster County Motors, East Petersburg PA, Salesman Jonathan Furukawa.

Talked to him back in February at the Harrisburg Auto Show, told him about being interested in the BRZ and that I was saving for a '14, but that I wanted to test drive one before placing an order. A month ater I called him up and he let me test drive one they had being fully aware I had no intention of ordering one until June. Fast forward to May and I couldn't take the wait any longer, was perusing their website and saw a DGM Limited manual (exactly what I wanted) listed at MSRP with a "Call for Price". Bear in mind I live 30 miles away from the dealership.

So I called and left him a message, he called the next morning and gave me a straight up price immediately (1,300 off MSRP) checked on the details I was interested in and guaranteed me that price for a week and a half. The best part was how he/they handled my trade. I emailed him the VIN and details of the my car and everything I'd done to it. after a phone call to clarify some details they came back with a number that was very close to payoff and $1k better than any other dealer had offered, SIGHT UNSEEN. This of course had me worried that they might bait and switch me when they saw the car (my car was very clean but you never know..) and try to lowball me.

Instead when I arrived late in the evening Jonathan took one look at the car commented on how clean it was and when I asked for an extra few hundred for the difference in trade-in offer and payoff he gave it to me without a moments hesitation.

Jonathan also got me set up a while later with the dealer computer to set up the configurable options and touched up a paint chip on the inside of the driver door.

C/N: Great sales guy put up with my difficult ass, gave me a fair value on my trade, sight unseen, and didn't pull any bullshit games when it came time to sigh papers.
