That's actually fairly quick! Call the dealer today or tomorrow, maybe it will come in early like mine did!

Good news! My car has arrived . I got the good news last Monday but I've been vacationing and won't be able to pick it up until Tuesday. Anyone in the central florida area want to test drive it for me? To recap: Ordered from Mastro Subaru in Orlando, Florida. Impreza Sport Premium, MBP, with cargo tray, rear seat protector, rear bumper applique, and auto dimming compass with homelink. Ordered: 9/1/12 VIN Received: 10/27/12 Delivery: 11/19/12 I'm really excited, can't wait to get home now! I still have to sort out all of the financing, hopefully that goes well. Funny it never came up in the ordering process.... :-\ Also, I emailed SOA about the delay and asked for a $500 accessories credit, instead they offered me a $250 discount which I'm accepting. Quote:

Start of my 16th week since placing order, Premium, 5sp, Hatchback, no options. I've been in contact with my dealer and SOA, pleasantly probing as to what specifically is happening with my order. I've called and emailed, and this is the most specific information I have gotten so far, although it doesn't tell me much.
From SOA: Thank you for taking the time to contact Subaru of America, Inc. and for your order of a Dark Gray Metallic 2013 Impreza 2.0i Premium 5-door with manual transmission. Your order has been received. You are correct that the ETA is showing as On Hold. Even with orders that are On Hold, the orders are still received and the vehicles are being built. I have set a follow-up for next Friday, the 7th to check on your order. I will be back in touch again on that day. The supply of 2013 Impreza, WRX and WRX STI models is low. The demand is high. Subaru dealers are allocated specific amounts of 2013 Impreza, WRX and WRX STI models. If a dealer has received their allotment of 2013 Impreza, WRX and WRX STI models and place additional orders, the orders above their current allocation are put On Hold. Once the dealer is allocated more Impreza, WRX and WRX STI models, the On Hold orders are removed from the On Hold status. Thank you for your feedback on this situation. Your message has been documented in our Customer/Dealer Services database. This will allow for your message to be properly reviewed, tracked and considered by our Sales and Marketing Departments. Subaru is always striving to improve as an organization and appreciates when our customers bring their experiences and concerns to our attention. Thank you for the opportunity to be of service. I will be back in touch again next Friday, Richard. I'm calling SOA this morning to clarify the "allocation" and "hold" situation, since my understanding from the dealer was that my order was put in at the top of the list because the 2012 I ordered was a problem. |

Allocation limits make sense for cars heading to the lot, but not for cars with a down payment. |

Nice! It looks like another person will get their Subaru and not have to frequent this thread anymore!

I also ordered from the same area the other guy did, but from a different dealership. By the way this is going I'm thinking I will win the award for longest wait for their 13'. I'm going to call again next Monday or so for updates, but so far not so good. SoA and my dealership cannot give me any sort of time frame other than it will show up eventually. If I had another idea of where to spend my money I think I'd be done waiting by end of Dec. Just wanting a VIN, cuz I know I will have to wait another 3-4 weeks after that!! |

I ordered a DGM Sport 5sp on September 10th and was told that the car would be here in 6-8 weeks. I am now on week 11 and the car is still showing as "on hold" whatever that means. The dealer is now saying December, but they were also the ones that said 6-8 weeks. I emailed Subaru and they tried to give me an economics lesson about supply and demand and then told me the dealer had reached their allocation and never gave me any real answers of when my car would arrive. I am sick of the vague answers from my dealer and Subaru and I am seriously considering getting another car and it won't be a Subaru.

FREEDOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The wait ends now. Current mileage 107miles through snow, slush, and sleet Sales guys and mechanics were all laughing when I started changing out all the stuff on the car. Did everything on the lot except the battery and tires that i did at a shop 1 mile away. Save fuel trim with computer memory saver and reprogrammed auto up and down on mirror. Next up tints, headlight armour yellow fog lights then full claybar, sealant and wax. At 1k i will put in the touch screen headunit and backup camera.

Changed wipers. Engine filter put in weather beaters added front license plate holder Drove 1 mi to tire shop put on snow tires and alignment during shipping cars can go out of alignment when they lock them onto truck changed battery since oem is only 330 cca walmart sells computer memory saver you plug it into the power port aka cigarette lighter port attach 9v to keeper turn off internal lights. Turn key to first position so cars clock is on Device will stop computer from losing ram memory which saves you from having to have the car relearn fuel trim which can take up to an hour. Change battery Some oddities reported after battery change is car stumbles and cuts off at 5mph. Fuel economy drops off a cliff etc. if you don't have the memory saver you have to make sure car is fully discharged then turn it over and don't stop until the car starts up. Run car for like 20 mins then turn on ac and run it as well. After battery change horns might beep so use key fob to reset alarm system. You also loose auto window up and down so you have to reenable it.
Bigger battery helps in cold weather turn overs Plus battery is only 100 cheap if you ask me |

+ I'm guessing the engine filter improves gas mileage a bit. + Weather beaters and license plate bracket are a must for me as well. + Snow tires and alignment make sense in states with snow in the winter (myself included). I'll probably be looking into them as well. + Battery isn't a huge problem for me. Probably going to buy the extended warranty and it doesn't ever get TOO cold where I currently live. + Computer memory saver... Makes complete sense from what you've said above... Is this what I'd need? Schumacher Electric INC 12V OBD-Memory Saver Adapter Cable |

I called ROTO Subaru and got some quotes today for the 7 year 70,000 mile warranty. $100 deductibe- $620 $50 deductible - $680 $0 deductible - $770 I didn't enquire about other pricing, but needless to say I'm expecting Grand Subaru to beat those prices or I'll buy my warranty through ROTO. If you want to get a decent deal, do what I did and call up a different dealer from your own and get pricing on the warranty you're interested in. They have more incentive to lower their prices to earn your business. Then you can take those numbers back to your dealer and work out a deal knowing what you can get elsewhere. |

engine filter, cheaper than constantly buying a new filter since I can clean and relube kn performance or increase in mpg would be .5mpg if I am lucky big IF
computer memory keeper: $5 or less at walmart http://www.walmart.com/ip/NOCO-Setti...ttery/16213367 |
