The greater Bay Area dealers have sucked so far for me when inquiring about the BRZ. As much as Capital has a good rep and has a history of "catering" to enthusiasts, I've had nothing but rude salesman and clueless reps every single time I call them or set foot in the dealership.
I pre-ordered mine from Livermore Subaru at the recommendation a friend. He bought one of the first WRX's off the boat from Japan in '02 from them and had nothing but good things to say about the buying experience and continued correspondence. I'm glad I took his advice, as everything has gone great so far and they've been transparent and welcoming. They're allotted 13-15 for the year, and last I heard, 9 pre-orders had been put in. $500 refundable deposit, guarantee of MSRP. |

Steven's Creek Subaru? I just stopped by Steven's Creek Scion and dropped a deposit off there. I think they said they only have a handful of deposits so far. (less than 10) but that they only were getting like 6 cars.

All I care about is not having to use a tape adapter on a stock stereo to play music from my iPhone, and I know that's standard in all Scions. UPDATE: Just got off of the phone with the Stevens Creek Scion. I'm 3rd in line. So not many people have put down deposits there yet. I also talked to Sunnyvale Toyota, and I think they'll be a good source as well from what the guy was telling me. He said they are the largest distro center in south bay. So anyone in NorCal still looking for a Scion should check those places. Last edited by denkigrve; 03-30-2012 at 03:16 PM. |

A friend and I are number 1 and 2 on the list at Stevens Creek Toyota/Scion. Bummer to hear they may only get around 6 cars. I will be holding out for the Hot Lava in a Manual. If it doesn't hit the lot in the first allotment I will wait for the next shipment, and the next and the next if I have to.

I Pre ordered mine from Maita Subaru in Sac. I told the salesman I'm working with that some of you guys on here got MSRP with the deposit an he pretty much acted like I was lying and/or I didn't know what I was talking about. He thinks everyone is doing a mark up. My Limited out the door is over 32k :-/... I'm still going to try and talk him down. I think it's bs to be charged a mark up. Though it's a good dealership, they even carry Prodrive wheels, COBB accessport and turbo back exhausts for WRX/STI. I've never seen a dealership carry after market parts like they do.

When I stopped by there the other week to check out the Premium they had one of the salesman said they were getting like 30 since they were a high volume dealership lol.. It's funny how different every salesman story is, always about 90% BS since they don't have any info or knowledge.

I'd just tell them if they insisted on a markup, I'd walk next door to the Scion dealer and order an FR-S instead for MSRP since they don't haggle (and thats what I would actually do too). |
