im lucky that the closest dealer is only about 20 miles away, and the second closest is about 30 miles lol.

Not to sound like a ****, but I agree. It's not like you have to go to the same dealer to have the car serviced.

My dealer is allocated 6, they will have a demo to view / drive, but if you want that one is around $2k markup, otherwise see/drive/demo and order what you would like it sounds.

Good luck!!

wait, the showroom car has a 2k markup, but ordering one doesn't have a markup?

I will only do $500 below invoice.

Correct, they want to keep one on hand to show potential buyers, then order color/model they would like, but if they want that one they will have the markup....

Said orders start March 1st and expect by May to arrive or sooner!

Ah, that makes sense since they won't have a demo car in case someone buys it.

What I really wish is that they did not decide to limit production, so everyone would have a chance to get this car.

Yeah artificial limited production is dumb. This isn't a designer clothing item.

Yeah I can see how they don't want to lose demo, but pay more since available? Should be less since a " demo " miles on it I would think..

Yet a Subaru Dealership shared on the coast they would do $500 under MSRP for one member here if they put deposit down, so def some room to play with.

My dealer shared orders to start March and deliveries by May - Finally just around corner !!!

Bring it !!!

There's a dealer about five miles from me, but I'm not #1 on the list at that one
