Finally got a call from dealer that car will be in on Monday. Puzzled, since I thought it was on Antares Leader which which can’t make it to Boston port in time frame (port I was told my car will come to) and now is at Baltimore. Window sticker hasn’t populated either yet. Either way - wait is almost over

For anyone in the SF Bay Area who is curious and/or looking, I went to a few dealerships today to see if I can test drive one and maybe get one ordered if I liked it...
Stevens Creek Subaru had a Blue Pearl Limited on the floor, unfortunately had a $5k dealer mark up on it. They wouldn't let me test drive it unless I filled out a contract to get the purchase going, I didn't feel comfortable with that so I left. Putnam Subaru had a Blue Pearl Limited and a Crystal White Pearl Limited. I didn't look at the sticker price for the blue one but I went to look at the white one. What a beauty but holy crap, it had a $15k dealer mark up. I spoke with the salesman for a bit, was told the same thing about the test drive, so ultimately I left. Carlsen Subaru had nothing new on the lot, just a few Ascents. The salesman was up front and said it's really difficult to get one right now. They even stopped taking orders because of two plants that are shut down according to him, so Subaru paused new orders? He helped me look through their system for other dealers' inventories but couldn't find a white limited in the area, and other colors had $5k mark ups. We expanded the search radius to 400-500 miles and found two white ones, one in shipment to that dealer in Reno and one on the lot already in Irvine. Both too far for me to make a trip to and risk not being able to test drive. He also let me know they were only allotted 12 total BRZ's until June, and a few that were already sold to other customers have been delayed by a few months. While Diablo in Walnut Creek get 12 a month. After reading a bit about Diablo here, I feel weary about going to them. Needless to say, I left empty handed and was unsuccessful today. |

If you decide you cannot live without getting one after your test drive, then I would consider flying to another state to avoid the huge markups and make a trip out of it driving your baby home. |

Picked up my car today. My VIN still doesn't show up through the window sticker web-site. Not sure why - so don't stress out if you don't see it there. My dealer shared the window sticker with me about 2 weeks ago. cCan confirm the Boston as a port delivery for NW NJ.
Love the car Quote:

So my wife and I were in the area and decided to give Diablo Subaru a shot anyway... they actually let me test drive the BRZ without having to sign anything. Well, I fell in love with it. It was easy to drive, it was comfortable sitting in there, my concern over visibility was unfounded thankfully and overall felt really good. The only thing I would miss is the crazy torque I have with my current car (Mini Cooper S w/ JCW and tune) as acceleration on my Mini is crazy. They have no mark up but said they do dealer added items instead, but would work with me to get the price closer to what I would want. So I gave them the builder id/code from the website of what I want and they said they would put in an order for me. This was Sunday so we'll see if anything comes from this. Haven't heard back from them yet. |

Due to traveling I haven’t had time to post. I ordered 8/24 and she arrived 12/6. My eta was 12/5 or last week of November but I’m not sweating it. Not even at 200 miles on her yet but I love it. Did y’all break them in or thrashed it immediately?

As soon as I put in my deposit down to reserve my car, Diablo texted me saying they were able to put in the order. I didn't pay anything so now I have the awkward task of telling them I'm backing out... i'm sure they'll have no problem selling it whenever it arrives though! |
