That's where I work, and I've checked and we're fresh out of BRZ's unless someone has a cancelled order that is on the lot. You'd need to call up the actual dealer that has one in order to find out, we can't check each other on cancelled sold orders.

You're from NH, I mentioned there are quite a few available up northeast. Not sure what you're trying to say...

@OP, you could probably work it out so you take public transit up there, and drive home with one!

most,but not all dealers just get a few in allocation,and that's it,while other dealers
get more due to increased sales from wrx,and or sti models! either way,MOST dealers here still have them on their lots,and they are tough to move,and getting tougher with the approach of colder ,and nastier weather!
yes if the op can get here,would be able to get one for cheap! below invoice,i believe! make a few calls,and talk some s**t!. what they don't sell
they will use for "swap" bait,so it's possible you might get a local dealer to send another vehicle north,and get a brz in return!

I shopped for exactly the same car (and bought it) but a lot of the ones listed in CT weren't actually available. In one awful case (see the blacklist thread) Suburban Subaru of Vernon, CT (right near Manchester, CT but I think that "The STG" meant manchester, NH) was auctioning the cars they were receiving. I finally ended up going to Center Subaru in Torrington, CT and I highly recommend working with them. They told me they had shipped a few cars out of state so you may not need to come here. You could try www.schallersubaru.com we bought our Lancers from their Mits lot and they're fair with pricing.

Dave-ROR · 11-01-2012, 12:04 PM

You should be able to find one easily enough. Pricing will vary based on location, dealership's level of greed, etc.

I'm surprised that some/many are still at MSRP. :shrug:

jmaryt · 11-02-2012, 04:30 AM

below invoice can be found! diggin' into their ad money,and holdback!
they really can't sit on 'em,because it effects their future allocation!
if they can't sell 'em,they will swap 'em for the new crosstrek,IF they
can get 'em here!

Ok, I'm ready to buy one. Any suggestions on how to find a Black Limited Manual?

I called the local Subaru dealer and the sales rep told me they have a Red Limited and an order coming in on a Silver Limited. He said that my best bet was to hope that someone backs out on an order. I also saw Subaru doesn't have a nationwide search. I don't mind traveling to pick one up or have it shipped. I'm in the VA/DC area. I've never bought Subaru before so any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, it didn't seem accurate when I was calling/looking at dealer inventories. I found one due to arrive up in Baltimore at the end of the month, unfortunately it has the chrome fender package, so I'd have to remove that.

swift996 · 11-13-2012, 01:07 PM

Sorry, I was able to put the deposit down on one coming in. Thanks for the responses, should be in at the end of the month.

White64Goat · 11-13-2012, 04:40 PM

Actually, the chrome front fender trim gives the black a little pop on the side of the car. Once you see it in person on an nice clean and shiny car, I think you'll like it.
