Lack of dealers down South (or anywhere!)

[mikeyr]

Although my Scooby is sadly for sale I thought I'd quite like to check out a BRZ. Looks like Sparshatts of Botley is no longer a Subaru dealer - nearest one is in a different county and looking at the dealer map there is none in or around Birmingham either which seems a massive hole!

Anyone know why/when Sparshatts closed? And does Subaru have a real issue trying to sell cars with such sparse coverage? Just curious

Sparshatts still do Subaru according to their website my good man ( although maybe thats just servicing?)

Cross Roads have the BRZ and they are only 30mins from Birmingham

I saw a Transporter with about six on it today near Woodford Green, Essex. A very good looking car

Brz or ft86?

They need to drop a WR blue BRZ in woodford for me!

My local stealer gets a demo model as well but no shiny new car to put in the showroom.

A new Subaru dealer is opening next Saturday at Turners Hill, near Crawley, Sussex. They used to be a Saab dealer and will now be only a Subaru dealer for sales and servicing (they will continue with Saab servicing). The owner says they will have a BRZ from next weekend.
