Can we do a quick informal poll? For you guys that have orders on HOLD, or orders that took longer than 12 weeks, how many WRX/STi's does the dealer you ordered from currently have in stock? The two dealers I have been talking to in the Bay Area have 10 and 15 in stock or in transit. There's another dealer in LA that has 14 and seems to know their stuff. By contrast I ditched the dealer I test drove the STi at because he's only showing 3 and didn't really seem to understand what I meant when I said "special order".

I'm just wondering if maybe these hold orders are from dealers that don't have enough allocation to fill the order yet, and that if you go with a larger volume dealer you can still get them in 8-10 weeks.

I still have a couple of things to take care of financially before taking delivery, so I'd like to wait until March. If I order now and it's 8 weeks then I'm looking at end of January, and that will be a little uncomfortable. On the other hand if I wait until January to order, and then it's 4 months, then we are talking May. Again not the end of the world but I'm just trying to gather as much info as possible so I can make a somewhat informed decision as to when to pull the trigger.

...I think I just talked myself into waiting until January, but let me know what your dealers' inventories look like compared to your deliver time.
