#11 of 2767 Canadian Servicing by joybell Aug 11, 2003 (10:23 am)
Maybe this topic should go to the Canadian Subaru owner's board. I guess I've had good luck with Canadian Tire (and they are sueable), but I also know of a good Subaru mechanic that is now working at a Mazda dealership (since the Subaru dealership he worked for closed), but there you have dealer prices again....and, after all, he's working for "the competition" now.

Read this before you decide to go with the chain stores up here: http://www.apa.ca/template.asp?SectionID=3&ArticleID=12   Subkid, I'm eagering awaited your tale of purchase. I know I will be following closely in your footsteps, and anything you can share will be most appreciated - heck, I might even spring for a round of golf out at Kananaskis!

I'm in the time squeeze right now, will post later. You are in the right town to purchase - I'll let you know dealer/sales person name.   Too bad I don't care for golf, but would certainly appreciate capable hiking companion to Kananaskis - Mt. Indefatigable, just in case that grizzly lady is still wandering around with her cubs - gave me big chills last year.   K
#14 of 2767 Golf vs Hiking for Subaru purchase guide by fryingbologna Aug 11, 2003 (11:57 am)
Isn't hiking just golf without the swearing or the little white ball?
#15 of 2767 Internet Purchasing? by mikef11 Aug 11, 2003 (1:38 pm)
Subkid,     Mark me down as another person intrigued with how you purchased over the internet. I find that there isn't much Cdn pricing info that I can find on the internet.     I'm in Ottawa and don't travel to your area often, but can always get you a beer if you get out this way If I do head West, I'll bring my hiking boots!   MikeF

Someone, I forget who, once said: "golf is a nice walk - ruined"!

By famed Canadian author Shania Twain! Or was that Mark Twain...

no problem for beer, as they say here on the wild west - it's always good to know somebody in Ottawa.   K
#19 of 2767 '04 Forester XT by stoner420 Aug 13, 2003 (8:09 am)
Just purchased a Cayenne Red XT with AT, no options, at Crabtree Subaru in Shelton, CT. Great experience, no pressure, they let my wife drive the XS vs XT, and let me drive the XT too without complaining. Even the finance manager was not a major pain in the behind, he was pretty laid back and barely even tried to sell us on the extended warranty. (Too bad we got the guy though, the other finance manager was a really cute blonde lady! Well maybe it's good after all that we got this guy instead.. We went in on Sunday, they did not have the car in stock, but located one at a dealer about 35 miles away, and so we picked it up Monday evening with 58 miles on the odo.   We traded in an 01 Accord EX with low mileage; when the time came to deal, the salesguy just asked us how much we would be willing to pay bottom line... I gave a number based on edmunds invoice/tmv for the XT and kbb for the Honda, and they accepted right away (guess I should have tried for a few hundred lower, doh!) Anyhow, it works out in the end that I got a value pretty much right inline with the kbb value for the Honda and the edmunds tmv on the XT. Maybe we could have done slightly better, but we didn't even really shop around or try to haggle, it was just wham, bam, done. I've already used this dealership's service dept. for my WRX a few times, and they've been pretty good, so I was somewhat inclined toward buying from them anyhow. The pure convenience factor of the whole thing probably offsets any small amount I might have done better searching around. I financed 2.9% for 3 years, this included $3000 remaining to pay off on the Honda.   Only downside was that they only filled the gas just less than halfway. (Also the windshield wiper fluid was almost empty, but they refilled it for me.)   Anyhow, the car RULES!!! THE ENGINE IS AWESOME!!! We love it!
