Yeah seriously — I did the same thing a week ago and had NO luck. Even got laughed at and hung up on by Napleton Subaru in Schaumburg. Really.

BRZs just got dropped into allocation, so they're definitely 100% on the way. This is the November delivery allocation, but I'm still thinking some will show up very late October especially if you're in the PNW.

Is this the first that has gone out on them?

Yep! I'll keep everyone posted when I get better ETAs for everything. Heavy emphasis on the "estimated" part of ETA though. They're all over the place right now with trying to find port processing, rail processing, and truck drivers

If it helps I will fly to Vancouver and drive mine to St. Louis. No need for a truck. Ha

Sorry I'm a noob... What does "dropped into allocation" mean? When would you estimate when we'll find out if one of our cars is on the ship?

This is spit balling, but I believe he means the cars are being finalized into shipping and destinations they are going to. Probably means VIN will be released soon as wel.

Kona's pretty spot on. Manufacturers "allocate" when they assign what they're building to different dealerships. I agree that people that had orders in early will probably start to see VINs soon. Probably two-three weeks out on that, maybe sooner?

dragoontwo · 10-02-2021, 11:43 AM

All I care about is that something is happening, and hopefully cars start moving soon.

I ordered a white Limited 6MT with no accessories at MSRP on July 23. The ETA is the last week of November.

My first Subaru, trying to familiarize myself with all the companies

Aftermarket will be cheaper and probably more extreme (shorter). A couple things to consider:
You’ll have to have it installed

It won’t be covered by warranty

It’s probably slightly more expensive than buying the same Subaru part and installing yourself. For the short shifter I personally think it’s worth it. For a catback exhaust I’d probably go aftermarket
