I start at Quirk Subaru this week!

[Turbowned]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you all know I left my sales position with Porsche/Audi of Norwell to take a new position at Quirk Subaru in Braintree, MA. I'll try not to be too salesperson-y, however I just wanted to say if you know anyone who's interested in a BRZ or any other Subaru who's local, I would very much appreciate any referrals! I am a huge Subie enthusiast and although I don't have a BRZ yet, I plan to have one soon and I'm also a fixture at most NASIOC Boston-area meets because most of my friends drive Subies, as does my g/f (2011 Impreza 5MT). So if you send someone my way you can be sure they're taken care of and not just handed to the next Joe trying to make a quick sale.

Oh, and Quirk has a Crystal Black Silica 6MT Limited in the showroom right now that's available. OK, done with my salesman-y-ness. Thanks guys!

EDIT: Just kidding, I sold it! Thanks

Will do!

Hey, glad to hear you're back in business!

What's Quirk's restrictions on test driving the BRZ? Planet wouldn't even let us sit in it despite having bought two cars from them in the past. I understand that the BRZ is in demand but objectively I can't get too serious about a car I can't actually try. I mean, I obviously want one, but I'm not just going to assume I'll actually like it without a test drive. I'm not in a huge hurry because our current cars are fine. Eventually the wife's Legacy is going to get traded for something though.

Also, would Quirk be okay if I asked for no Quirk badges glued to the car?

Oh and good luck with the new job!

That's good news, someone we can trust that's at a dealer rater certified business establishment.

Good luck with the switch.

I don't know yet but I start tomorrow so I can certainly ask. Right now their BRZ is in the showroom; I saw someone sitting in it today when I stopped in briefly. The trouble is that everyone who buys a BRZ wants it to be this miraculously unmolested car, so dealers don't want people test driving them left and right. I think once the hype dies down this will subside as well.

I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem, but if they don't like the request to take it off, I will personally remove it for you! At least half of my Audi customers requested to take the dealership tag off (for aesthetic purposes).

Thanks!!

Thank you for the reply.

I totally understand the care dealerships are taking with the cars. I'm not running out to get one this instant anyway so I can wait a bit to get a test drive in. I was just curious about what Quirk is doing. Sounds like they're being a little less intense than Planet if they're letting people sit in it at least.

When I am ready to buy one I'll be sure to keep you in mind over at Quirk.

Have a great day.

You're not going to rat out the people who tune their ECU to the technicians are ya? :-p

[Turbowned]

You mean when we figure out how to tune the things? 'Course not! But I think the technicians can tell when they plug it in...

[2forme]

I have the cable already. Just waiting for the ROM file. Gonna take an image of the stock ROM w/ flash counter.

Not that anything in the tune would cause catastrophic engine failure, but I've had a dealer tell me that my engine warranty was void because I installed a radio and a shortshifter before when I had a valve drop. So I try to give them as little excuse as possible.

write down my screen name. Then find the internet sales guy by the name of "Ricky Tong" and tell him that I told you to say "hi" for me

Ricky was the one who referred me! I think we may have met once at a Wednesday meet; you used to have a red STi?

Yeh I had one. Don't remember you, but I'm sure if I met you again then I'd remember

That makes for two of you at Quirk...What kind of hootenanny are they offering for you guys to leave Audi and Cadillac?!

Congrats on the new dealership, Corey.
