I hear ya. I got the last pre-order spot but got it first at my dealer despite changing my order from WRB Limited 6AT to 6MT and losing 5 days in the process. I would say it's all about luck.

Just found out that the status of mine changed to "at rail head" as of yesterday!!! The time is drawing near. Does anyone have any past experience on how long it takes from "at rail head" to "in my hands"?

I'm in Cincinnati

I'm in Cincinnati as well who did you order your car from? I ordered from Joseph Suburu. About 3-weeks ago.

I ordered mine from Beechmont Subaru back at the end of April. I was third in line and I know that the first two already got theirs (the first being Cornerman on the forums)

Still 8/9 and they don't seem to know where it is or if it was even released to port yet.

Just called SOA today. ETA on the car is December. Ouch! Oh well, on the bright side, it will make a nice Christmas gift to myself, once it arrives. =)

I'm sure you can snatch one up sooner than December if you're willing to drive a bit and scan cars.com like a hawk...

Maybe. I have my heart set on WRB Limited 6AT w/ homelink. No exceptions on color. So far I have only seen 1 WRB Limited in a 6MT, and Puente Hills Subaru just got a BRZ w/ exactly what I want, just without homelink, but w/ a $7,500 markup. Im willing to wait though. Gives me time to save alot of cash to make my early month payments really easy.

I'm not sure what loan deals everyone else has been getting, but make sure to tell the dealer that you can get the 1.5% deal that PenFed is offering now. My dealer was able to get me a 60/month deal for 1.4% through Bank of America after I told them that I could get the 1.5% through PenFed. Prior to me talking about PenFed, the best they were going to give me at the dealer was almost 3%!

What kind of credit score do you need to get the 1.49% rate? Thanks for the info though I was just about to go with 1.99 through dcu which I thought was pretty good.

My FICO was 757 last time I checked. Rates have gone down a bit in the last month as well - I remember checking on PenFed a couple months ago and seeing them up around 2 and 3%

My dealer still says August 20 but, no VIN # or anything regarding a solid arrival. I guess we can assume our cars are still on a ship somewhere unknown to Subaru....
