I was able to change my pre-order.
Hey guys,
I just wanted to say I was able to change my pre-order (March 6th is when I pre-ordered). I am second in line at a dealership in northeast Ohio. I originally ordered the premium WR-Blue BRZ. Once pricing came out I decided 2k extra for limited was def worth it. I called in today and was able to change my order to limited because Subaru hasn't built the vehicle yet. There were no pre-orders placed after mine so only two pre-orders have been made at that dealership. I'm not sure if this allowed my order to be altered without me losing my place. I just wanted to share this with some of the members and see if anyone else has tried to change their order once pricing was released. Last edited by nkrein22; 04-09-2012 at 03:05 PM. |

Unfortunately I wasn't able to do the same, but there are 10 people lined up at my dealership and I was first in line.
If I changed my order to a premium I would have gone to the back of the line. |

The dealer made it clear that they would still expect to see the vehicle around late May/early June even though my order was changed.

Correct. They fill them out by allocation to the dealer, when the pre order was placed compared to other dealers pre orders doesn't matter.

Do you know if the pre-orders arrive to each dealership one at a time, or is it a "batch" thing where multiple cars arrive at once?

They will be delivered prorata over the 7 months. I'm not sure how many truck loads a dealer normally gets a month, but if they get 14 cars over the first 7 months they'll get 2 per month, which I'd assume would just come together but it's possible they'd come in different loads. Not sure specifically how that will work though.

I don't think that is accurate. I spoke with them just after the allotment notices went out and I was told they were getting 2 cars for the May-Nov time period. I was first in line there originally, but when I found out that VIP wouldn't be accepted I cancelled my order and got my deposit back. I wound up at Brunswick (#1 in line again) where they promised me VIP pricing regardless of what Subaru did.. so I got invoice after-all. |
