I want my car >:( member rant thread.
I ordered about a week after they started taking orders, was still first at the dealership just had to make sure my job was set in stone. Praying I get it soon.. It didn't help that they got in a different BRZ already unspoken for and didn't call me to ask if I would like to switch to that one before they sold it..
Feel free to vent and post all the stuff you have had to deal with while waiting for your car.

How many was your dealer allocated?

How bout your dealership telling you your BRZ is in and skipping prior engagements so you could pick up your car only to find out that it isn't the color you ordered and being told you have to wait because allocation is slim particular for your color choice. Yeah I don't have my Lighting RED BRZ-L yet.

3, and I understand ordering from a higher volume dealer would have been better, just like(liked) this dealership when I ordered and had been talking to them about it for weeks. Just frustrating they way they did that to me. And since I put $2,500 down non refundable ( I know I know, but like I said I liked these guys at the time) I'm stuc waiting for them to get mine in instead of just driving aroun to get the car..

I do not consider it a "rookie" move, I'm friends with quite a few of the guys at the dealership. I mostly hate the way Subaru handled pre-orders. Since they started making cars not pre-ordered while they had a giant list of preorders waiting. I bought my first car through this dealership when I was 16 and they helped me out greatly so when I decided to get the BRZ over the FR-S I went straight here. Non-refundable doesn't bother me when I have the cash to do so, it's more so me being disappointed in the system. Nice rhyme though, going to use it when my friends change their relationship status on Facebook

Our dealership has gotten 5 BRZ's and all matched the orders perfectly...according to Subaru, they met a 98% order fill accuracy on the first allocation (meaning of all the cars ordered by dealers, 98% matched the orders).

They sold the non preorder for msrp, no mark ups. A dealership got in a WRB BRZ unspoken for in Nashville but marked it up and wouldn't trade with my dealership. I just don't like Subaru sending cars not preordered and the people who did preorder are stuck wait listed still. Also my dealership didn't know they grey brz was coming but they should have called me when it got there

Just tell them you are unhappy with the way they are handling this situation and that you want them to tear up your check. If they refuse call your bank and put a stop payment on the check (they should not have cashed it) or tell them you will be getting a lawyer and just move on.
Dealerships are a dime a dozen.. And just to have some fun: |

Well if you aren't willing to drop everything and go across the country, you're whining and have no balls apparently. Not my thoughts on it.
