BRZ Patience is a Virtue

Today 9/10/12 I finally purchased my BRZ. It's the exact color and trim I wanted; SWP and Limited and Manual! The previous owner only owned it for three months, since June. Yeah it is a "used BRZ". He was sad to see it go.. But I'm glad he sold the car to me! This had just under 3300 miles on it when received, freshly broken in for me!

I'm really stoked I found this BRZ posted on Nasioc just a few days ago because none of the dealerships in my area are taking orders anymore. I just sold my last vehicle about a month ago, so I've been waiting for an unclaimed order to come in. I was afraid I would have to give in to a different color choice, I almost went for a SSM that was at a nearby dealership.. Well I'm glad I held out because my patience has payed off! I got the exact car I wanted plus I managed to save some $$ by not paying msrp or the extra dealer fees. Check it out

Thanks man. I literally spent over an hour washing it today, then it rained a half hour later during a drive haha first rain in about 48 days I believe. Oh well I will get used to it here in the Pacific Northwest.

Honestly, I'm worried about the same thing when it comes time to trade in my WRX hatch. I've hauled so many things.

Mightve thought he could've handled the less space until it came time for him to actually haul something.

There, I fixed that for you. ....Just kidding. I wonder what the proportion of favorite colour would be on the BRZ if we ran a poll?

On topic: Congrats to the OP!! I can't wait until mine arrives and I get to join the club too!!!

Looking at the Pre-Ordered database on this forum, I think WRB won out...


Btw, OP, was this car in either MA or CT? I think I remember seeing a similar BRZ online...
