A brief note on availability and ordering:
Usually a dealer can supply a model, if
not from their own stock, then by trading with another local dealer.
Your dealer will search for the correct
model and then contact the other dealer and if the vehicle is still
available then the vehicle will be driven in from the other location. This
can take place within days.
Or you can wait for a vehicle your dealer
already has coming into their own inventory.
If a vehicle is freshly ordered Subaru will give an expected delivery date but this is not an exact date. Usually a vehicle arrives at a dealer within 6-8 weeks, but delays can, and sometimes do happen at any point along the assembly and shipping process, so be patient. The dealer wants you get your car as quickly as you do!
These pages are done to help you determine
your interest in Subaru.
I would like your business if you're in
the market for a new or used Subaru, or any other sort of vehicle we might
have.
Thank you.
Joe Spitz
