$5995.00 markup?
This weekend I went to Stevens Creek Subaru in San Jose, CA and learned they are charging a "Added Mark-up" of $5995.00 for a stock BRZ Premium.
This seemed outrageous to me... Is this common? ------ You'll also notice on the sticker that they crossed out what appears to be the original dealer (Capitol Mitsubishi) which paid "$770.00" for destination and delivery and had the original retail price at "$26,265.00". ------ Additionally they would not allow me to test drive it... Needless to say, I'll never visit Stevens Creek Subaru in San Jose again. Does anyone have any Subaru dealer recommendations for the SF Bay Area? |

If you've access to the Willamette Valley, I suggest *John & Phil's in Corvallis* via Scott Geoff. They have sold multiple cars to forum members and have never even suggested more than MSRP. I custom ordered with a 4-6 month waiting list and they managed to bring in the same car in 28 days! They will also text you when your loan comes through/car is ready or arrives --or when they see you driving around town! If you bring in a sale, they also send you a finders fee of at least $100. My friend who invited me to this forum also brought me to J&Ps --after he had a great time buying his WRB BRZ premium MT there-- and walked away with $100! If anyone in Oregon wants to buy a BRZ/FR-S come on down (they are Toyota/Subi) and I'll split the finders fee 50-50! =) TLDR: Royal Moore = Thumbs Down, John & Phil's = Huge Thumbs Up! |

however, the prices on BRZ keeps changing. one day mark up one day no mark up. before I get my FR-S I was looking at BRZ. been screwed around by Subaru dealers here in LA. Then I went to Miller Toyota/Scion in Anaheim. they have 12 FR-S there with MSRP. so I picked mine paid them and get out. |

Is there a dealership in SoCal that you guys would recommend that you've had good experience with and did not get ripped off in terms of mark-ups? Thanks!

I bought my LTD AT DGM at South Coast Subaru in Costa Mesa. They originally were asking $5k over sticker, but after I found the same one coming into Ladin Subaru in Thousand Oaks that they were selling for sticker, South Coast immediately matched it no questions asked. They did try to sneak in the 7 year warranty into my finance, but I quickly caught that and chastised him for it.

All this current pricing with markups on the west coast is ridiculous (and possible only because of misinformation and some people actually paying those prices (maybe?)). On the east coast, you can now buy around the invoice, which is about $1,400 below MSRP. If you want more info, see my other recent postings.
There are also postings about good deals in Denver. |
