Thanks everyone for replying. I want an Auto because I don't know how to drive stick...and I'm on freeway 10 everyday so it's the pain.
IMO, I'm a female driver and living in San Gabriel Valley. RC from Timmons Long Beach Subaru offers me $28k,409 + tax + lic for the 2015 Limited Auto WRB color. How much more can I bargain? Lol

I'd suggest learning. Not to hate on autos, but I learned on this one and I drive 30 miles with mild to heavy traffic every day.

I'd say to get a limited from Heuberger motors and get it shipped here. I believe (don't quote me) the limited manual is 25600 and auto would be 26600 + TTL.

Plus shipping which shouldnt be much

That price is really good. It's about the same price I paid for mine. What he's talking about is the Internet price. Check out the website. They usually have an Internet sales team. I actually did what he suggested but instead of getting it shipped I drove to the state where I purchase d it from and drove it home.

I traded my BRZ in after 2.5 years because I was driving stick in heavy traffic (60+ miles round trip) every day, and I just couldn't stand it anymore. If the OP wants to get an auto, get an auto. The one used in the BRZ is still a very good transmission, the vast majority of the folks I've seen who drive one, are pleasantly surprised by it.

Yeah, my cousin who is 40 went with an auto BRZ, partially because his fiancé was likely going to drive it every now and then. He came from an FC RX-7 that he ended up just garaging.

I totally understand you. I'm doing about the same, but traffic is heavy for maybe 10-15 miles of my 60 trip. People were discouraging me from getting a manual, but being as stubborn as I am - I got it in manual. I stalled it 6 or 7 times on my way from the dealer. I learned to drive stick on it, and I totally love it. It all depends on the person

Thanks for the heads up... will be sure to ask people what other cars they owned prior to buying a used BRZ from them :P

Is Heuberger prices + delivery still good w/o Clint? All the manual fans will disagree, but an auto in 3+ hour traffic from OC to LA is definitely worth it

People are always honest right?

Also, I'd rather buy a car from a dude like myself, who stalled it 6-7 times the first day and 4 times over the next 5 months. And redlined the car maybe 2-3 times during that period. Than from a perfect driver that redlines the car daily

Pretty sure stalling it a few times doesnt even do any damage. cmon now.

Dont feel bad about going auto, I was tempted to, but I bought the car for fun (I commute with mass transit since theres no parking in NYC anyway).

My 2015 Limited BRZ Manual was 28.5k out the door, everything included.

Not sure how LA prices compare to NYC prices though.

It's not the stalling that damages the car ... but it's the learning process that wears the clutch, engine/transmission mounts, driveline, transmission.

Don't feel bad about your driving sucking. Mine used to when I started as well. But don't confuse that with "probably doesn't matter at all."

Just my old guy opinion.
