I love the way the color changes in different lights. But you should hurry before they are gone.

Believe me I wish I could hurry! My car has been in the shop 6 Weeks! It is utterly ridiculous. Once I get the car back I am going to immediately get it appraised.

So I doubt this will happen but if I can get a trade in value at least somewhat close to my loan amount left I will be trying to get into a Hyper Blue.
You are in my area, and I had to go through this process twice. Puente Hills will high ball you and Costa Mesa wants you to come in before talking numbers. Glendale gave me the best price. Deal with Romik in internet sales, and no one else. Beware that there is one HyperBlue that is legally "used" because of a sale that fell through. I didn't feel comfortable buying it because of the status and their unwillingness to price it less then a new one.

It's like a car with pearl paint. Don't know how Subaru did it but it's definitely the most stellar looking 86 color on the road

Hey man, I definitely would like to talk more with you on this. I live in Whittier and would definitely appreciate your expertise then. I went to Glendale today and frankly couldn't have been treated worse. They literally left me alone for 45 minutes I swear I am not exaggerating just to find the key. The one I was mainly looking at today was the "used" one you were speaking about. It is "used" with 161 miles. no body kit or anything yet somehow they want more than MSRP for a new one. Do you have any further knowledge of what happened with this one? Is there a reason it made you uncomfortable that I wouldn't be thinking of? As for the one with the STI Aero Kit I was telling you that is the second BRZ in Glendale it is marked as new. and they literally have it at 35xxx with a 5000 mark up. That is ridiculous and with the huge mark up on a "used" BRZ just gives me the wrong vibe with Glendale. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They are definitely less organized, I can't vouch for other salesmen. My internet salesmen was busy when I first visited and I received the story on the "used" car from a more stereotypical guy. Apparently someone bought it and had a foreign workers visa that ended up being a problem. The person had it "for a day" before it was returned. He told me that they had to smog it for $200 so the price could not come down. I was worried about getting all the warranty and service benefits, and rather have an officially new one at the same price. Try the other dealers closer to you, they might be nicer, but get them to compete to get a good price.

Most definitely man. Will do! I really wish they'd work with me on that used one though. I am down to get the used one if the price was right. I have Puente Hills offering me an e price of 27500. And that's for brand spanking new. If they would drop that used one to 25000 I would be right there to scoop it up.

Had a couple issues with fail safes preventing me from getting into boost, we were able to fix it but we also took out like 3 degrees of timing.. (Which is like 40hp IIRC).. So it's quick. But still slow. 😋 It'll be back around 260 in a couple days though!

Well just an update I went to Costa Mesa Subaru to talk to them about their Hyper Blue and as I sat in the vehicle they told me don't get too comfy, the vehicle had actually just been dealer traded because they have a buyer ready. I was not told which dealership but if this information is to be true, Hyper Blue 624 is claimed.

The one they found me had a clear bra (which I actually like those for protecting paint) and a plastic/rubber trunk liner but I was like I. Don't. Care. Bring me the car. Think about it's barely March, they were all built long ago, and there are like 25 MAYBE out of 500 left for sale. I'm usually a hardass with dealers but you have to choose your battles. Don't pay more than you are comfortable with especially for things you don't want but I mean be reasonable too.

Hey my names Matt, my wife and I picked up our BRZ almost two weeks ago after trying to decide for months what we wanted in a car! This is our first Japanese car after a long line of bmws and just getting out of a s60R and after test driving a ton of cars we decided there really wasn't a more fun car for less than twice the price to drive than a twin!

We bought it in OKC with 16 miles and have already put a few hundred miles on it and loving it! We'll be moving up to the Tacoma WA area in couple weeks so hopefully we'll see a couple of you guys up there.

The car is a daily driver canyon carving auto xing toy for both the wife and I, though not too many plans on mods yet since having a warranty is nice haha, on to pics!
