Yes, call SoA asap and tell them the situation and that you have proof. I'm sure they'll set the dealer straight. Keep us posted!

Threaten legal action. They did this shit intentionally since they backed you into a corner by misleading you for 2 months. I bet they fold instantly at even the slightest mention of a lawyer.

You can read this case for reference, very similar.

There's not a chance in hell I will pay anything over MSRP. If they even *try* that, I'll make sure everyone here knows about it and take my business elsewhere -- most likely a Porsche dealership for a new Cayman.

When I pre-ordered my BRZ, I was told by Jay at Fairfield Subaru AND his manager that they "never" charge more than MSRP.

I will hold them to it.

Glendale Subaru is charging a 5k mark-up on a SWP limited AT

i ran to SoCoast Subaru this afternoon... someone actually bought it

Add Toyota of downtown LA to this list.

$3,000 markup plus Lo Jack on every FR-S

DantKR · 06-04-2012, 02:42 PM

Please add Southern States Subaru in Raleigh, NC to your blacklist. They are charging a $3,000 market adjustment.

Turbowned · 06-04-2012, 02:47 PM

Guys, did they tell you MSRP and then try to charge you markup after? If not, they aren't subject to being blacklisted.

Just because they're marking up the car and adding accessories to it doesn't mean it warrants going on the blacklist. It's for dealers that promise MSRP but then mark up the price at a later time.

I think it stands on it's own for this area due to the fact that Johnson Subaru has 7/7 preorders filled and not a single person has put down on either of the BRZ that Southern states Subaru is getting in.

It does. And maybe they'll realize that what they're doing is hurting their business and lower the price to what it should be at to compete with the older dealers.

DP82 · 06-04-2012, 08:14 PM

Well, to be honest Southern States in Raleigh, NC is the closest dealership to me, less than 3 miles away, but they simply refused to make pre-orders because marking it up was their ultimate intention so they refused to work with me. I then went to Johnson Subaru in Cary and placed my order. The management at Southern States simply sucks for BRZ potential customers! Even if I have to wait an extra day or even a week to have my car serviced elsewhere I'll do it... I fully detest that dealership and would love to see it lose the Subaru brand. Alas, it'll never happen... So I hope they lose out with receiving only 2-3 BRZs this year... Suckers!

Subie · 06-04-2012, 08:46 PM

I called Southern States Subaru earlier today to inquire about their BRZs. They told me they're getting three, with one having already been sold. When will people learn that it's cheaper to ship a car from elsewhere and pay MSRP than paying some stupid markup? We don't need to be rewarding disreputable dealers like Southern States by paying a markup, and the sucker that bought the first one is only hurting the rest of the BRZ community by sending the wrong message to dealers like Southern States.

LeeLeeTee · 06-05-2012, 02:15 AM

Yeah I'm not surprised....apparently there are people who are willing to pay the markup price.....glad you didn't get robbed!
