Default Wife needs WRX Hatch. Where to test drive in Houston? Gillman?

Hey all.

Looking to replace my wife's 2001 Civic with something a little nicer, quicker, and safer. Right now I'm leaning towards a 2011 WRX Hatch (although she likes the new MS3). Went to Gillman Subaru North off 45 this past weekend, and they had none to test drive. Sales guy said inventory was low due to the Japan earthquake (makes sense).

Anyone know where I could test drive one around Houston? Anyone know if Gillman SW has one available for test drive?

Also, as a side note. Has anyone been able to get invoice pricing on one with inventory so low? I imagine most dealers aren't letting them go under sticker price with so little of them coming into the states.

SW subaru should actually have some right now and they will let her test drive in the parking lot.

call Moe at 281-250-4068 he's one of the best salesman there.
Tell him Fernando gave you his number.

Go to Gillman ask for Wally or PM me for his #, they sponsor the TXIC and have a solid reputation of being $1000 less on the same car as West Houston Subaru.

Thanks, left a message on his voicemail. We'll see what happens.

+1 for Gillman SW. As enthusiasts we're lucky to have them supporting us. I'm sure they'll be able to help you out. Just be sure to make a new thread with pics when you bring the car home.

They have zero in stock. Apparent shortages due to the earthquake in Japan, as I expected. The guy I talked to apparently had one coming in at the end of the month (that's already been purchased) that he said we could test drive.

While I appreciate the offer, it seems sort of wrong for them to offer up a ride in a car that's already been purchased. I probably wouldn't like people driving a car I had already purchased. Just sayin'
