Austin Subaru in Texas was great to deal with, besides the wait but that is the story with every dealership. Brent the GM was very helpful. I work in sales and he knew it, so there was no bullshit about the advantages of upgrades and things of that nature. I stress this, NO MARK UP at all. MSRP out the door. I took delivery on Wed. and I love it. The only thing I am going to go back in and get added is the tint job and add on the gold plus warranty. As I recall it is a one time payment of $1240 and it would cover me up to 7 yrs 70k and can be transfered if you sell the car. If you are not modifying the car I would suggest this for one simple fact. This is the first production of the car. It has not been tested on real roads long enough to find potential flaws that might come up 3-4 years down the road. Just a suggestion and something to consider.

I'll balance the good with the bad...
Center Subaru in Torrington, CT - great to work with, selling just above invoice, glad I bought here. Joe Kolosky is an awesome salesperson with true passion and knowledge for the BRZ. He told me they shipped some to CA and TX, purchase over the phone. The bad...Suburban Subaru in Vernon, CT - My brother told me they had a white pearl and when I called after it, they were hosting an auction for the car with a fee to participate...the salesperson told me they were selling all their BRZs this way...agree with the first post it's supply/demand capitalism but what a way to be when there are unspoken for cars sitting on lots...not cool. |

Next time come down to Garcia Subaru in Albuquerque and talk to Josh. You'll get a fair deal all around on a Subaru. I bought my Silver BRZ limited from them and would gladly buy there again.

As far as I care I have a Subaru / Scion = Scibaru and I bought it from a dealer that didn't add anything on I didn't feel I wanted or needed. By the way most of the tools selling these have no Idea the technology that's built into them, their just pushing tin.

Burlingame Subaru has
1 silver limited with diffuser and other options for 29k plus $10,000 Markup!!! 1 blue one in auto also with a bunch of options and 10k markup for a total of 39k! Why would someone spend 40k on this car? Also saw 2 Wrb getting delivered. Have fun |

I too had a good experience with Austin Subaru. Picked mine up Sat the 4th. Salesman hadn't dealt much with preorders so he didn't know you could go back in to the ordering system once the options became known to further specify the order. So I didn't get my homelink mirror. But actually I'm glad he didn't do it. Since the auto-dim and the compass are valueless to me, I would have spent $300 bucks on a garage door opener . So my car was a vanilla 6mt Limited. Got MSRP and 2 yr/24K courtesy service for free. They also had their porter drive my old car down to Carmax while I followed in my BRZ when they wouldn't match the Carmax offer on my trade-in. All in all a fairly pleasant experience -- though waiting around just to go through the warranty sales pitches was kind of a drag, but you gotta expect that.

Where you at? Around Austin or in Austin? I live south Austin but work off of Spicewood Springs and Mopac. I have not seen another yet. Quick question since I am guessing that you drive approximately around where I do. What gas mileage are you getting mpg? I am getting a little less than expected.

I'm still in break-in so I'm being pretty gentle right now, but I'm getting around 29-30 MPG on my commute -- around 9 highway/7 city miles -- 16 miles one way Edit: Actually, that can't be you I see since I've been seeing it for a month and you just got your car a week ago.
