To keep in the format.

Name: Lighting Red
Trim: Limited/Manual (of course)
Color: Lightning Red
Option: Auto-dimming review mirror w/ e-compass
Dealer: Don Beyer Subaru, Alexandria, VA
Location: Woodbridge, VA
Comments: On price; I am just as curious as anybody else. Though I did tell my dealer that if the price is knocking on $30,000, then there is a good chance I will pull my order. I mentioned that part of the allure of the car is that it will be fun to drive at a fair price. In my mind that is around $27,000-ish.

Yes, I placed second order on a different BRZ today with a second largest Impreza dealer in the area. I have an honest deal with both dealers, that I'll make my final choice after price is announced. I'm shooting for Limited AT, but my backup is Premium AT.

Don't worry, which ever spot is not filled by me I'll pass it over to either fellow co-workers or this forum. No Markups! You have my word.

If both orders are placed under the same name Subaru will kick one of your orders out. You have been warned.

I doubt that. No one can prevent me from pre-ordering and ultimately buying 2 different cars from 2 different dealers. These are my money and I can pre-order the entire allocation if I choose to by putting deposits down (not that I would).

Dude I'm not BS'ing you. This has also been confirmed by my dealer as well. Take it or leave it. But you have been warned.

I just wanted to put this out there for all to see and hope all are aware of the situation.

I recently had a customer who was researching the BRZ and different dealers in their respective area. They reached out to me to see if there was a more attractive offer that would make it worth their while to go with me.
I was unable to offer anything of worth to make the deal "sweeter" for the customer, I guess. They respectfully declined a Factory Order with me and went with a dealer closer to home. I congratulated them on their decision and let them know I would still be there in any way that I could be.

Now I'm bringing this up because the customer was very honest and upfront as to their intentions. They could have simply gotten a place in my "line" for the car to see if I would receive it sooner.

Moral of the story is, don't complete multiple Factory Orders. Subaru will track it down and shut one or both down if the contact info is the same.

If you have already done so you should be ready to either pick one dealer or maybe lose your place in line.


C/N: Don't perform multiple Factory Orders to get the car sooner than the other dealer.

Yes ... we have had some people have to go back to talk to their dealer about a double order. Please be careful.Best Wishes.

I hear you. I'm not looking at the same car. I have 2 different trims ordered. I trust both dealers enough to contact me at the actual order time and tell me about conflict. By that time I'm either putting my wife's name on one of the contracts or anyone else's who chooses to take my pick. Simple as that.

BTW contact info doesn't give you anything. Its your ability to pay that matters. That is determined by credit score check at the point of contract or 'show me the money' option with/when final prices are known.

If that was the case - I could have given out bogus SSNs and potentially kick other people out of the line before the actual deal. Dealers are just protecting their pre-order statistics. SOA fulfills allocations - its a high demand car (or so we have been told). Pre-orders are vague enough for the car to be sold to anyone on the spot.

What are you talking about not the same car? Isn't it two BRZ's? Sure they might be different trims but it is the same car. This is a SOA policy to limit people from putting multiple orders in at different locations. You can PM the dealer I quoted if you don't believe me.

This isn't an issue about ability to pay. SOA doesn't want people putting multiple orders in to beat the system to get the car sooner. This isn't about SSN or credit scores. Did you put your wife on one of the orders that you got the VON for? If so no worries. However if your name is on both VON's at different dealerships I would be concerned and would contact SOA myself.

'Show me the data'. Not from a dealer, please link to SOA policy or SOA official document.

Guys, dealers allocate entire lots under their and their sale reps contacts. SOA has no way (or intent) of investigating existing mess with dealers. Do you actually believe everything you've been told without solid proof?

Again, these are my money and I choose to pre-order two cars, even if it from different dealers. BTW, to be honest, my second order puts me further in line, not before the original placement. So, what's the deal?

[tranzformer]

I am done discussing this with you as you don't even seem appreciative that I am giving you a heads up about a potential problem you might face. Not sure why you need to get so defensive. I was trying to help.

Call SOA tomorrow AM and ask them of you can place two Pre-orders yourself at different dealerships for the BRZ. I am just stating some evidence states you might run into issues. The end.
