Ordering/Buying a Zx6? Look here first!

I was talking with Mike Scarff Subaru of Auburn and they want $1000 over MSRP but did say that if I wanted to wait until early 2013 that I could probably get a BRZ premium on VIP program. This is after they told me they still didn't know what MSRP would be though, so I doubt they know anything concrete about VIP pricing.

I refuse to pay dealer mark-up so I'm ok with waiting for the hype to die down.

I have the number 9 spot at Carter Subaru in Shoreline. They are selling it at MSRP. My local dealer, Roy Robinson in Marysville wanted $2,000 over MSRP. I looked elsewhere after hearing that.
I'm getting a white, manual, limited BRZ.

Did you just place your order today? What sort of deposit are they requiring.

[Smokinbuffalo]

I made my order Wednesday. When I called Saturday it sounded like they still had slots open. They didn't need a deposit. No strings. Did it all over phone and email, didn't have to come in. Call them and ask to talk to James Bennett.

Hey guys, I met with Josh (Not sure of his screen name) yesterday and wanted to just introduce myself so you guys can use me as a resource for questions and such.

I'm one of the Scion specialists at TOK, I also started PSTOC (pstoc.org) so I have a lot of passion with the tuner world.

I put my business facebook and twitter pages in my sig, and e-mail is open anytime too. I keep those updated with info as I get it. I'll try and stop by here from time to time too.

So far we have 3 deposits which include one of the First 86 cars, so there might be a bit of a wait on one, but we're still open to taking them as this should help us leverage some more inventory from Scion, and we have a policy of no second sticker mark ups on cars right now, so I don't see that changing by launch.

Hey Roger! Thanks for making your presence known!

This is a good guy, lots of experience..if anyone is in the market for a FR-S on the eastside Toyota of Kirkland is the place.

I ordered a Limited BRZ last week. Well I got this odd email from the dealer Wednesday.

"They would not let me order the push button start or the fog lights from the port, so we will need to add those at the dealership. Anyways the order is in! "

Why would the dealership be installing push button start and fog lights? Has anyone else heard anything like that? Does this imply you could talk the dealer into knocking the price down on a Limited w/o those two options? Hell, maybe they can add those options to a Premium. I'll call the dealer tomorrow and double check that order.

[Smokinbuffalo]

I texted the dealer at Carter's and learned a couple things. Firstly, the Limited gets the options as listed on the web site. He didn't talk about what options the dealers will install. Secondly, he said that the will have a BRZ on the lot for people to see Wednesday March 21st. It will only be there one day.
That's right, Carter's Subaru in Shoreline will have a BRZ on display, one day only, March 21st.

It comes standard, that's why they can't order it. LOL
Just talked to a guy at Carter too. I will go to check the car out on that day.
I might have to wait next year to get the car since they will only sell at MSRP.

FYI, Chaplins is getting 18, and has stated that they will do 1-3k over MSRP.

I'm 1st at walkers, and as of saturday, no one else has pre-ordered... so if you want on the first shipment, at MSRP, go to walkers. We'll get our cars together.

Wow, surprising to hear...good to hear too I guess, cause now I don't feel as rushed.

I'm *this close* to putting in my order at Carter Subaru - Silver, I just can't decide between the Limited and Premium. The spoiler is the only thing that's the hold-up, though I must say it's growing on me. It's odd - the more I see the car the more I like the spoiler and dislike the look without a spoiler...but then I'll see one random angle of each (usually from behind), and have a complete change of heart.

if you want the car sooner, go to walkers. Carter already has a ton of people in line for one. BUT- walkers is jerking me around a bit. They really, really want me to put a non-refundable deposit down on the car. I told them I won't put down a non-refundable deposit on a car I hadn't seen in real life, let alone even test driven, especially when there is no price.

one of the salesmen threatened me a bit by telling me if I don't have a deposit down, when the car comes, it's up for grabs by anyone... sigh. I hate dealerships like that. (even though I have a signed vehicle order, signed by the dealership giving me 72 hours first right of refusal)
