Just Sitting here wondering how many people still have their WRX's on order. Also how long did the dealer tell you it would take?? I ordered mine mid December and got my VIN today.. SOA told me it'll be here 2/14/12. Anyone else beating their brains out?
8 weeks is this Saturday and still waiting. Good news is, I emailed the dealer and I was told that it is coming soon but no date. Was told that it is built and is on transit. I don't know how long more that is going to be...
It's getting a clearbra today, and possibly some tint before I pick it up. Picking it up tomorrow morning. I'll post some terrible cell phone pics when i get it. arty:

So, I dont know how true this is, but yesterday I got a call from a friend from work. His friend is a district manager or something like that from Subaru in the area. John (my friend) asked me how to spell my name, I told him... And his friend pulled up my order and asked if it was the Mike Shaw Subaru here in Northglenn,CO, I told him yes. Johns friend said my car will be shipped out at the end of this month and is expected to be at the dealership by mid May. ???? That doesn't sound right, considering I just ordered it on 4/13. Does it?
Hey, I ordered mine from Shaw the last day that we could order on 4/24. They have no clue though, telling me 8-12 weeks. I just saw that you have an ETA of 3rd week of May. Mine was ordered 11 days after yours and maybe it can make that shipment? What number did you call for SOA? I want to call them to find out.
Called the dealer today. He said it should be here any day now. Told me it's left the port and is on the truck on its way. I live on Cape Cod in MA, I believe the port is in Boston (right?), which is just over an hour away, so I would assume it should be here by now.
Today is exactly 8 weeks from when I placed my order, I was told it would take 6 weeks.
I went by dealer on Friday for an update. The computer showed car was "released" and in transit. My ETA has been moved up from 4/26 to 4/23. Dealer said this would be a long weekend. Should be here no later than Tuesday.
Only problem is that instead of installing them at factory/port, they simply sent along the parts for the fog lights. They're gonna try to get them on tomorrow before I pick her up, but I might have to bring it back next week to get them installed (no big deal, it was included on my contract so won't cost me any extra).
3My car got delivered to the dealership today. Ordered in on 3/27, so just a shade under 4 weeks. Hopefully I'll have it by the weekend, but to be honest this is my last week of classes ever, and that is what I am focusing on.
Hey all - Just picked up my 2012 DGM WRX today! This thing is freaking beautiful.
Ordered back on March 24. That wasn't a bad wait at all and it was well worth it. Now how am I going to manage to granny this thing over the next thousand miles??
Picked it up today. I don't think I've been so happy driving a car since the day I got my license.
On a side note, after only 20 minutes of having it parked at my house, a bird crapped all over it...I actually found it too funny to be overly pissed about it
I just got the call from my dealer, my ETA has been moved up to may 10th and also got a VIN! that sounds a lot better than June, now somebody buy my damn car lol
Ordered the Lightning red a week befor march 20th, then calle dthe dealer and told hime i wanted the White instead so it was ordered march 20, told me 8-12 weeks, last week he told me he had the Vin#, what good does the Vin # do me with out the car though?
when did you guys know if you are approved for the loan??
The salesmanager told me they won't run the financing until the car get there or if they know exactly when it will be there.
Exactly, that's what I thought, why order a car and wait 2months just to find out I'm not aproved,
What he told me was that once you are aproved your loan is only good for 30days so if the car doesn't get there in time I might have to reapply and I might not get approved again .... Never heard that before... I also never financed a car
Here's the way I've come to understand it over the years: Every time you actually apply for a loan they perform a "hard" credit check on you.
A "soft" inquiry is something such as simply finding out your score through a site or company and has no affect on your score. A "hard" inquiry is to find out the gritty details about you and your finances and it DOES impact your score. The slight impact that it has on your credit report when you get approved for the loan could be enough to get you denied a month later. This is why you aren't able to take out a $10k loan with 100 different companies and go buy a Bugatti Veyron.
As for my loan, I asked them to run it through after I had waited about 4 weeks because I thought I might get denied. As it turned out, I did get denied and had to go back with a co-signer. If your credit is really good and you don't have much debt tied to you, I would wait until your close to getting your car. If it's bad and you think you might need a co-signer, consider doing it sooner.
It's a tough decision. Do it too early and you could screw yourself. Do it when the car is there and if you get denied, you might have to wait a few more days while they run it with a co-signer (if you have one).
