I was also about to preorder the BRZ from Subaru of Las Vegas. The internet representative said the same exact thing, $2500 safety deposit and a $2500 fair market premium (markup) added to the MSRP. I didn't mind at first, but after reading this thread, it made reconsider my decision. I decided not to preorder from them because I'm not willing to do business (especially with this amount of money involved) with a dealership that goes back on their word.

Good for you, I'm glad you're joining the boycott against such poor business practices, if we support the dealerships that treat other people this way we're telling them it's okay. I'm glad you did what was right and hope you're able to get in an order with another less sketchy dealership.

Markham Subaru, Ontario, Canada:
Thank you for your email. Pre-order has started weeks ago and we have some orders already. As for the terms, since this is a limited production vehicle we only have 7 cars this year and will be on first come first serve bases. The deposit will be $1000 and not refundable. Please feel free to contact us for details. Regards Nicholas Chan Sales department ---- Other dealers from the GTA region I have contacted in Ontario are refundable. As they should be without an MSRP announced. |

This is about what I expected. We're not dealing with Cadillac or BMW here.

I recently contacted Subaru of Las Vegas about the BRZ, and got the same $2500 fair market premium quote. However, this time they have added an additional "Subaru of Las Vegas' Assurance" package of $1185 which includes 2yrs/24000 Carefree maintenance, PULSE, a safer braking technology, window tint and lifetime oil changes. This is a requirement as well. Here is the email I received:

I hope this forum gets the word out about Subaru of Las Vegas. Hope no one on here deals with them and instead goes to UT or AZ to get their BRZ. They are completely out of touch with reality.

I think a dealer markup thread is in order. That is just insane, and I hope not a single person purchases a car from them.

Isn't SoLV the dealership that tried to make an account and defend their position?
Bait and switch, mark up, and an additional "assurance" package?! This dealership is a joke! I hope nobody here gives them any business and for those who do, you are a:

I believe it's the product that makes your 3rd brake light flash or pulsate when you apply the brakes.
