Happy BRZ Order Day!

[JBDriver]

What, 40 minutes left... I'll post pricing when I find out. My sales rep tried to submit my order last night at midnight, but I'm guessing he couldn't so I'm hoping he does so first thing this morning...

Me too.. waiting nervously.

Hoping the dealership has their act together and enters the orders into the system in the proper order. I'd be really pissed if some other salesman slid his order in front of mine somehow.. I'm supposed to be first in line..

I'm pretty sure Subaru stated that it doesn't matter when the order was placed, each dealership will be getting their cars whenever they get them (probably based on the distance from port). Just saying as a "don't worry" if your order isn't placed first thing today.

But, WOO! This car is finally going to exist!

Based on this communication from Subaru, you are incorrect.. it does matter what order they enter them into the system:

We would like to remind Subaru dealers that SOA will be opening the Sold Order system Thursday, March 1 at 9:00 EST to accept BRZ orders.

It is important dealers fully understand the order filling process as you submit your sold orders. In summary, allocations for the 7 months May-November have been developed for each dealer. Fulfillment of a dealer’s allocation quantity will be spread basically pro-rata over the 7-month period and will not accelerate based on the number of sold orders submitted nor will it be reduced based on the number of sold orders other dealers submit.

The most important factor is for individual dealers to ensure their sold orders are submitted in the order with which they want them filled. SOA will look to fill the oldest sold order within a dealer’s allocation from the pool of cars available irrespective of when that order came in versus any other dealer’s order.

Regional Distribution Managers have communicated in detail the BRZ allocation program to the Zones and can help clarify with any questions you may still have regarding this process.



At a small dealer, the difference between the first order entered and the second could mean the difference between a May/June delivery and an Oct/Nov delivery.

They've actually stated the exact opposite. The dealers need to place the orders in the order the dealer wants them filled.

I'm sure you would share that with us if you knew..

The dealers will definitely need to place the orders in which they would like to receive them, but do you think if dealer x puts all their orders in before dealer y, all of dealer x's orders will get filled before dealer y's?
