Morries Subaru of Brooklyn Park, MN.
Walked in, saw the sticker price for MSRP, no markup was written and even the salesman says the price could be lower than what the sticker is on the car. I got excited, put a $500 deposit in, and waited monday for me to get my would be Trade-in car thats been sitting at my parents house for a while. Got back to the dealership and was given a surprise $1,000 markup. I negotiated furiously for almost an hour but ended up paying $350 markup instead. That was a big mistake, I shouldve waited for my pre-ordered WRB. I didnt even get a test drive at all either. Now they have three BRZ sitting in their lot not moving anywhere, I am guessing that they still have markup on those which is why nobody is buying from them. Also, if you like doing your own oil change, DO NOT buy their so-called free oil change buy happy promise. I made that mistake and I still have to pay for both oil change and labor. f**k!!

Capitol Subaru's waiting list was like 6 months out, although they did say they would charge MSRP (this was like last December though.) I ended up picking up my car in NV and paid MSRP. |

I went to Puente Hills Subaru because they had a limited brz in stock available for test drive, they only said I needed to have my credit ran before a test drive, after they ran my credit and it checked out, they told me I had to agree to making a deposit and to the $7000 markup before I could test drive it. They are crazy. I ended up getting the BRZ I wanted from South Coast Subaru for the price I wanted.

I bought my BRZ from Bob Moore Subaru in Arlington TX. They put a $2500 mark up on mine too. Also wouldn't let me test drive. But still doesnt change how I love the car lol.

Dunning Subaru in Ann Arbor, Michigan - currently have a Galaxy Blue BRZ Limited, with $799 of BS markups, $399 paint protection, and $400 interior protection. At least now I know I don't like the way the dark blue paint looks in person, and I know which dealer to avoid.

I just picked up my BRZ for $500 under MSRP through Todd Shak at Subaru of Santa Monica. He may be worth a shot of you're striking out in Southern California.

Wanted my first post to be about him since the guy flat out rocks, but unfortunately did not end up buying from him but purely do to the fact that I am in Ohio and he is in Colorado. Clint from Heuberger Subaru in Colorado. If anyone is even remotely close to there I fully urge you to give him a call.

**** Hannah Subaru in Vancouver tried to screw me. Traded in my auto for a manual. Called in after seeing the online price as 28,000 and them confirming the price as 28,000. Drove two hours to find out it was marked up to 36,000 do to "demand." Was finally able to work it down to trade in and $1,000 cash.
They tried to tell me the best they could do at first was trade plus $11,000. |

Titus Subaru of Tacoma tried to screw me, the salesman Ryan Watson is a snake. Here's a "quick" breakdown.
I found a bare bones limited for 27,800 at another dealership 50miles away (lower tax also). I asked if i could have it shipped to their dealership because my family had purchased 2 subies in the last year and would prefer to buy it from them for loyalty reasons. He said sure, but he would sell it for 27,900 (msrp) and would not match the price. I explained that the sales tax in Tacoma is 9.5% and at the other dealership (Marysville) it was only 8.6%. So not only would i be paying 100 more, i'd be paying roughly 250 more in tax alone. He then tried to sweet talk me about good sales experience, and how he wouldn't match the price. I then saw he had a white limited in stock and asked if he would match the price. He would not budge. I then called another dealership and they were willing to trade with tacoma and not only obtain the white limited for me, but match the price of the other dealer (27,800). When the dealer called his, he was unwilling to trade the brz. Moments after he sent me an email which basically told me to f*ck off (if formal writing). His email said that he knew that i was the one asking other dealers to obtain his white limited and that he was going to hold on to it and good luck trying to find a brz (hence the f#ck off part). 3 other dealers were willing to price match the 27,800 that i found, in some cases they were willing to give me an even greater discount. Willing to lose loyal custmers for a measely 300 bucks? To that i say "good luck" to you Titus Subaru of Tacoma. |

Subaru of Highland Park, IL.
This may not seem like a big deal to most, but had the car delivered to my apartment. Had a 1/4 tank of gas in it. Told the guy to fill it up and bring it back. Gave me attitude. Went to his boss. Got a free gas cap cover, and a full tank. |
