IX's aren't officially in production???

I went to the Fezeli dealership to fix my recaros since they were unclipping themselves on the sides and while waiting I asked someone when the IX was going to hit their dealership. He said they won't be here till December and that they aren't even in production yet. He said if the other dealerships have them and are selling then they are breaking some sort of rule and the photos I saw on evom were photochopped. I was like oookay. On a side note, I was questioned if I had been racing since the recaros started unclipping. They had to special order the clips from Cali. since they didn't stock them and the person over there made the tech ask me. I was like "what if I say yes you won't fix my seats?" The tech didn't say anything.

just ignore them and go to a differenet dealer. seriously, the things dealers will say are just shocking to me. yes, all the people who already got their IX's are bsing you and all the pics are photoshoped. and dealers cry that they have a bad rep

Another dealer that has a bunch of Morons working for them that dont know D!ck! If I were you I wouldnt even trust them to fix your seat cause they probably dont know anything about fixing that either.

I'll comment on the Evo IX issue, as far as this stealership not getting them until December.

See, what happens is that the dealerships with the highest number of sales are going to get them first, then everyone else. The successful stealerships are going to get the treats first.

The stealership you're visiting just plain sucks. If this is the sort of information that they give out, it's no wonder they're probably last on the list to get IXs.

As for them fixing your seat covers, what does racing have to do with seat covers?

Be very careful about what you say to people that work at stealerships, especially service advisors. At the Subaru stealership near me, I brought my car in for the 3,750 scheduled maintenance, and the service advisor was asking me all sorts of questions, like "Is it fast? How fast have you gotten it up to? What's your quickest launch? Have you had any problems with the drivetrain? Have you tried power-shifting (shifting without the clutch) it yet?"

Clearly, I'm not an idiot that's going to answer these questions. Just don't give them any ammo to deny a warranty claim.

Fazeli is an awesome dealership for "mod friendly" service, but they told me the same thing when I was there. Just blow it off, the IX has arrived.
