Dealer In SE Virginia?

[Ec1990]

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a dealer in southeast Virginia for a 2022 Subaru BRZ?

Not in the SE but in Charlottesville, so far Umansky Subaru was good to me; we'll see when we get into the financing. Ordered one this past weekend. Paid maybe $500 over MSRP for the limited. They wanted more due to "adding value" like the appearance spray (most likely something that will only last for 6 months) to justify it, but they removed it from the invoice. Granted I am trading in my 2017 BRZ w/ perf package so they are double dipping on profits anyways.

Great thing was that the exact car I wanted was already on it's way to the dealer (I'm guessing as a showroom car as it had some more upgrades so technically I am getting it below MSRP with the add-ons), so I should be getting it either at the end of November or early December.

There are no extras that are added at the factory level. All cars are shipped as a basic unit. There are a few things that may be added at port (larger aero and such) and the rest is put on at the dealer level. If a dealer is trying to tell people that the car is already ordered with these extras and they can not be cancelled they are lying to you. Just because a dealer decided to tack on a bunch of extra things doesn't mean the car came that way.
Don't fall for the "that is what it comes with" take it or leave it sales pitch. Extras can be a great negotiating tool though so if there is something you actually want then try to get them thrown in or at least heavily discounted.

Funny you said that. After I posted I read how Subaru does their shipping. Yup, it's just the base (minus if premium vs limited) and they just add everything at the port (or dealer).

Way back when the RS1 came out this picture was posted. It shows them headed to port to be shipped. They have stock exhausts, aero, valance and suspension. All those things were changed out at port. As odd as it sounds it is cheaper to build them all the same and change the parts later.
