Good luck with your car. I know the wait can kill you.
I received one more email from SoA last Friday saying that my car arrived at the local distribution center. Hope I can get my car this week.

Why not get a mount and then use your phone? I do that and use Google Maps. Works just fine.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I am looking to get a BRZ with performance package and would like to know what everyone is paying for theirs. I didn't see a "prices paid" thread here so I thought this was the closest thing.

A quick search on cars.com didn't show a huge inventory of BRZs with performance package in my area (SoCal) or nationally for that matter. Have you guys been able to negotiate much off invoice (I know someone in NorCal on page 1 mentioned $300 off invoice without much negotiation)? Just wondering what everyone is paying. Appreciate your help!

Just to chime in, I also paid 500 under invoice for my limited with PP (pretty much the same as the Series Yellow, aside from colour). Try Costco Pricing for 0 effort negotiation.

Thanks guys! Just started a new thread since this topic could benefit lots of people. Technically the BRZ will be my 2nd Subaru too; currently own a 2007 Legacy sedan, purchased new before Subaru got popular!

I ordered mine first week of January this year. I wanted the WRB with PP. Dealer told me the wait time was about 8 weeks. I didn't get the car until end of Feb.

Sits and wait for the "how long till the 2018 TS arrive?" Question.

jest asides, 8 weeks seems to be how long it takes for orders to process if they're no cars in inventory here. This is because I remember that If I didn't grab my car (cause I wanted Silver not CWP) at the time I would have to wait 8 weeks for the next batch.

I think I waited 13-14 weeks. But that's partially because the PP version didn't start shipping till January and I was probably low on the list at that point.

Congrats!

I'd say to expect it up to a week and a half early.

Mine was originally supposed to arrive March 20 and it was already delivered on March 10.

No guarantee, but it's a possibility.
