anybody try Socal dealers recently for VIP pricing since they seem to be on dealer lots nowadays? Based on above posts it seems like a small chance they will offer.

You will have to call first and ask. I asked the VIP program people at Subaru to confirm that my local dealer would do it.

Q. Is this offer open to any vehicle? A. Most models are available. However, the new BRZ is not available. Certain models may be temporarily excluded subject to dealer availability. http://www.imbacanada.com/subaru/faq |

Disappointing, but I was glad they called me rather than using the prospect of the discount to get me into the dealership. Btw, I asked if they were taking orders for 2014 MYs and he said he'd have to ask his sales manager and get back to me. I want my 2014 BRZ!!! |

As far as I can tell there is no special kickback from Subaru for it so I am still trying to figure out why a dealer would do VIP pricing unless it is near their normal transaction pricing? |

Yup. It shows this on their site. Subaru Canada's VIP Program provides IMBA Canada individual/family members with an opportunity for significant savings on the purchase or lease of a new Subaru.* The program is open to all Subaru models including the WRX, STI, and XV Crosstrek models. It does say ALL Subaru models, but in the FAQ, BRZ excluded. So I'm a bit confused. |

So, all said and done, is buying a membership to save on a subaru worth it?
The website says up $3k below MSRP. I feel that Clint is already giving a better deal on a BRZ. As for other Subarus, I am not sure. |

Depends on the cost of flying+driving for you, assuming you don't live in Co. Springs. Or price+shipping of the car, if you don't mind transport and remote acceptance of the car.
It's nearly a nobrainer if it's just a day trip there and back... |

I actually had a dealer reject my Subaru VIP (2% under invoice) discount. Thankfully Clint gave me a deal was even lower than VIP pricing. Even if I included the handling and transportation fee, the cost from purchasing from Clint is approximately the same as purchasing the vehicle at VIP pricing.
If you can get a dealer to accept VIP pricing that would definitely be more convenient. But if you can't purchase the car at VIP, then purchase from Clint. |

When signing up, does one have to have any knowledge about IMBA or mountain biking?
Is it just, "hey here's my $30, now I'm a member?" |

And I had zero issues with it being processed, etc. I called my program verified they still had an agreement with Subaru, called Subaru and gave them the dealers info (even though I had a standing offer with the dealer) and I had an email in less than 24 hrs with all the info. The dealer had all their info in less than 48 hrs. There was zero hassle and it was probably the easiest car buying experience Ive had in the last two years. |

I can confirm as I asked the Subaru rep AND the dealer when requesting the 2% program info the WRX and STI are not and will not be part of these programs. Only reason I asked is that this is my first Subaru product and if I liked I might be trading in a 24/36 mos for an STI of some form. |

I just ordered my BRZ on VIP thru ASPCA. Smooooooth sailing. I'm sure Clint would have come up with a very similar price, but my local dealer is actually really good, and it's a bit more convenient. For those that are on the fence: VIP is definitely worth it as long as your dealer isn't a ****. |
