SoCal (San Diego, LA, Riverside, etc) best dealers?

Hey guys. I'm looking for a SWP BRZ Limited, but unfortunately I live in Murrieta and I don't think there's a Subaru dealer around here in the immediate area, so I'll have to make a trip. I'm wondering if there are any dealers around the areas mentioned above that have relatively good reps? I know there aren't exactly "great" deals to be found at the moment but if anyone has had particularly good experiences/purchase prices around here I'd greatly appreciate the recommendation.

I want to get into a BRZ in the coming couple weeks if possible.

Irvine Subaru. Great dealership, no clue on their stock. Talk to Rich or Gene.

Thanks for the quick response. I sent them an email for the moment and I'm sure they'll get back to me. I hope I can find a car for close to MSRP rather than these crazy markups that have been going on.

Subaru of El Cajon isn't accepting deposits and have been emailing me about BRZ's. The same with Frank Toyota.

From what some people are saying it sounds like the BRZ's availability is extremely limited and those that are available are marked up like crazy. Is this the case? Is it more pronounced on the Limited?

Sounds like I might have to get used to the idea of sitting around and waiting a few months to find the right car...

I got mine at sierra Subaru of Monrovia this week for msrp. Guys there are pretty good to deal with. I know all the pre orders they have are accounted for but whenever someone backed out of a pre order, they would still sell the car for MSRP. The rep told me its because the dealership is family owned and the owners don't like the practice of marking up vehicles over MSRP. You can put your name down there and have them call you if someone backs out of a pre order. Since the release, they had 4 vehicles come in and 2 pre orders backed out and both were sold at the said price to others. Good luck!

Is that your car in your avatar? I may have seen your car the other day driving down Winchester towards the 15. I was in a reddish orange 135i. Nice car if that was you!

I've sent all three of the mentioned dealers an email and I'll try calling them in the coming days too. Really hope to get the right car found soon, when I get my mind set I hate when it doesn't happen immediately!

I bought my car through Glendora Scion/Toyota.
Actually I got a phone call today that they have 6spd Whiteout available!!
Someone should get on that because they sell it for MSRP!

Ask for Augie and tell him that Min sent you!

Awesome man, beautiful color choice. I'll let you know, hopefully pretty soon.

Call Todd at Santa Monica Subaru. I think he said they're getting one more Premium than their initial allotment and as of yesterday it wasn't spoken for. He mentioned that one had a bunch of add-ons from the factory, though.
