Sorry, meant to state this in my reply. I was given an ETA of 12/14 and my salesperson said it may (not holding breath) be available earlier.

If it means anything, I was concerned about not being in town for up to 1.5-2 weeks after the delivery ETA. |

If you have put down a deposit for it they will hold the car for you. Just tell them you aren't available to pick up the car and when you can. remember to ask them to put it away and not let anyone test drive it.

I'm sure they'll do what you request. Ask them to tell you how many mile is on the Odo once the car is off the truck. If the miles vary too much from what they told you then you know someone been driving it lol. Ask them to put it under cover or preferably inside a garage or something.

I don't think I've called my sales guy more than twice since ordering the car, but since the end of September, I've checked in via email about once every two to three weeks.
Each exchange usually ended with him telling me something like unfortunately his manager was out that day, but ensuring me that I'd get an update within the next business day or two, and that to his knowledge everything is still only schedule for a 6-10 week ETA. About 2 weeks would go by without any word, and I would initiate the email conversation again only to get the same result. |

I researched dealerships before I bought and even though there is one a block away, I drove 60 miles to another dealership because they had great reviews, largest in the state, big inventories, and didn't BS me on the phone. I am glad I did, it was worth the drive and relationship. |

That being said, the situation I'm in now is one that I have put myself in, and one that could certainly be worse. I'll try to provide more updates as 12/17 nears, so that others may get a better idea of what to expect. |

Who have you been working with at Heuberger? Were you originally estimated for a later date like Jan/Feb?

Makes me feel bad for ordering 10/27 and getting an eta of 12/26 xD. PBP FTW though, right? |

You got extremely lucky man. I ordered 10/13 nothing new since the day I ordered it. I'm actually inquiring about a Limited WRX hatch in WRB with my salesman to sell it to me with the same deal (invoice + $200 + options) we agreed on with my Premium WRX hatch order. Hopefully I can work something out for it. Although I don't know if I will like the leather seats. I have leather seats in my acura and I can say I prefer cloth seats.

I am working with David Anthony. Hes a nice guy. I was told 6-8 weeks when I ordered. And then on the 25th the release came out about the 4 months. I guess I wasnt affected.

Did they tell you it would be 15 weeks plus? Otherwise, I would not stand for that! |

I am sure they didn't know. They don't have control over that. When the order was put in, I am sure it showed an ETA just 2 months out. We have a Forester finally inbound that was ordered 6-27. All they ever told us was that it was in the system. They are just recently adjusting pipelines to more accurately show the wait. No reason to blame the dealership over something they can't really do anything about. |

Got an email today from the general manager. They want $500 to install options originally ordered on my vehicle but not in the car that came in normal allotment. I have come to the conclusion that it is well worth it to me to pay extra to get this car (in the next 7-10 days I hope) My last car was lost in hurricane Sandy and i have been sharing a friends ford explorer with my father(we work together which makes this a little easier) This friend has been so nice as to lend me their car with no mention of repayment. I however plan on paying them $500 for the month I had the car, I think that seems fair. I didnt even ask for the car, he just offered it! Anway, if i wait another 4-6 weeks conservatively (order date was 11/15) I will feel that I need to compensate my friend accordingly for the extended use of the car, if I can even use it for that long. I guess however I need to rationalize it.... Anyway I'm pretty psyched about getting this car so soon. Everybody I know says I was crazy to order a car that would take so long to get considering my situation(my home had 5 feet of water in it) I just wouldnt pass up the chance to get the STi as I had absolutely no plans of getting rid of the 09 WRX any time soon. ( and my insurance payout was substantially more than I though it would be) Looking forward to "graduating from this thread!!" |

You would think the dealer would convey the experience they have had in ordering cars, delays, etc. It sounds like they are more interested in making the sale, if it means having to be a little less transparent about any delays or ordering problems. Case in point, I went to my local dealer first (small inventory). He told me if I ordered now it is about 4-6 weeks. When I told the big state dealer that, he laughed, he said no one is getting any special orders STIs in 4-6 weeks. He said the best you can expect is 10 weeks and even that is being optimistic. Of course the guys at my local dealer don't know anything about subaru's not a SINGLE person that sells them over there has ever own one. They told my wife she could order a Forester XT in stick too, my wife told them they don't know what they are talking about - they don't make the XT in a stick anymore. She had to correct them. They also didn't know that the STI is a 2.5L, he told me it was a 2.0L. It is sad when your wife knows more about the car than the sales person. |
