Thursday March 1st - preorder date for BRZ

[Zgrinch]

Edit: Preorder Date now March 1st !


Everyone,

I know that several of you have posted in various threads that your Subaru dealer has reached out to you indicating that they should be able to take BRZ preorders next Monday.

I realize this is not new information, but I thought we could consolidate this into one thread.

Hi xxxx,

All people on the BRZ list can start pre orders on Monday. The sold order will be based on when you give us a deposit

Thank you!
xxxxx

I am in the process of confirming this with Dave and I's dealer in Tampa, but given the number of positive posts on this topic, it looks like we are off to the races next Monday. I'm so excited!

Not necessarily pricing.

I asked that question and they felt they would have it either at the preorder date or shortly after. They indicated between 25-30k, which is not anything we have not heard already.

Some dealer employee no doubt.

I just remember someone saying pricing didn't necessarily have to be released at order time. But hopefully it will.

Hard to do a sold order (which IS a contract) without pricing. Basing the sold order part on the email from the jax dealer.

I feel like thats a make oe brake day if the price is too high people will drop out if its just right itll prolly explode with orders.

I can see this being an issue in states where deposit is non-refundable. Otherwise price is not too relevant at this point, since you can always walk away later.

Great news BUT:

"In March initial allocation numbers will be announced, and sometime around then, pricing. "

is what i was told

[Zgrinch]

I imagine we will also learn about the spoiler delete and if that is going to be an option. Really going back and forth on this one, but kinda thinking to keep at this point.

A deposit and a contract tend to be different. A sold order is literally a contract to purchase (at least as I've seen it used in my previous car purchases), not a deposit. Without specific wording it shouldn't be assumed to be refundable anywhere. Obviously most dealers will sign an agreement (I'd assume/hope) stating that it is pending the test drive and such but I'd suggest requesting that from your dealer in writing if they are really talking about an actual sold order. Now if they are just talking about a pre-order request and you aren't signing a contract then it's not an issue and pricing doesn't have to be released.
