Besides your basic contact info, what do they ask in terms of the car? Options/Trim/Color?

Here's what he asked from me:

1. Name, first and last
2. phone #
3. Color
4. Model (limited or premium)
5. Transmission (AT or MT)
6. Credit card #
7. Credit card expiration date
8. Security code for credit card
9. Zip code (for credit card purposes)

Here's a few other things I picked up while on the phone with Rich:

1. Looks like each salesperson can put in a certain number of orders per month. Can't be sure, but it seems this is the case for new releases or limited editions. So Rich and a few other salespeople have grouped up so they can get the maximum number of orders in when the car becomes available.
2. Seems that for CA there will be 500 new cars available each month for the first few months. Not completely sure on this one either, but that's what he mentioned.
3. Rich said I'm #9 on his list, but that Gene would put my order in and I'm #4 on Gene's list.
4. SOA will take orders either on 2/28 or 3/1.

Take all this with a grain of salt, but that's what I picked up during our conversation.

You know what'd be interesting? If Subaru, in response to the FR-S, pure prices this car.

I called my local dealer to inquire about a list/deposit. The salesguy was aware of the model, but didn't know if they were taking deposits/orders. *facepalm* I'm expecting a call back, but not holding my breath. I may have to go in in person to speak with a sales manager. (last time I tried that, I waited 20 minutes, lost hope, and left)

FYI, Irvine Subaru is receiving 37 units over 7 months.

Tainen · 02-28-2012, 06:49 PM

holy cow. 37 units... that might be the highest.

Carter in shoreline WA is getting 20, and they said they are one of the very highest.

Just heard the same from Rich a few minutes ago too.
Btw, I made a deposit with him

According to him, I'm #11 and the last to go on his list.
SWP
Limited
Manual

He told me that if I change my mind later on what trim I want, that's fine. Also he told me I'll get a call in a few days for my confirmation number, as well as to let me know what options they're gonna have. Anyone get a confirmation/receipt number?
