Default WR1 - Anyone else hunting for one?

Anyone else looking to order a WR1? I've checked all dealers in the South West, all WR1's are sold. Tileys in Bristol have sold 7!

Does anyone have any data on the customer care ratings of each Subaru dealership?

Bit of a trek for you, but it might be worth speaking to one of the less well known dealers, such as Constitution Motors in Norwich - details on the Subaru website. I had heard that they did have some WR-1s available.

Thanks Chris, I'll call them.

Today, there's some confusion with the dealers about the allocations & onsold allocations. On 31st, unsold allocations were supposed to have been taken back by Subaru UK, there's no info on this yet.

Nick,
Try Olympian in Poole, they had two available sometime last week, so could be worth a call. ring 01202 635000 and ask them for the no, thats the no for the renault depot, the Subaru dealer was only opened a few weeks back, therefore the no's not on subaru.co.uk, they're in the same place though, so they should be able to help!!

Ron.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll be a little late to work on Monday - 7 phone calls!

How is it that some dealers have unsold WR1's when most others have oversold their allocation several times?
