I just purchased a 2006 Forester 2.5X 5peed manual. No extras, price before tax was $18,099 with $2000 rebate. The '06 has a much richer look inside and out than earlier Foresters, and the '06 felt more refined and was quieter than my aunt's '99 Forester that I drove recently. I purchased at Becker Subaru in Allentown, PA. They were great to deal with, and made they process very easy. I was surprised to have a choice of 4 exterior colors. They still have rows and rows (and rows) of more Foresters. They also seemed to have a staggering volume of Outbacks. They regularly advertise prices in the local newspaper that are below invoice, and they sell A LOT of cars. I paid below invoice for the Significant Other's '06 Legacy 2.5SE in January...both deals were made without haggling. We're a bit infested with Subaru dealers in the PA NJ NY tri-state area, and I have 13 dealers within 50 miles of my home. Despite this competition, Becker is the #3 Subaru dealer in the US for volume. They systematically deliver a good sales process/experience with prices that are hard to argue with, and a great selection of vehicles.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem with Chase Bank: I purchased a Forester on April 27th. The contract I signed at the dealership said my payments would begin on May 27th, and would be due on the 27th of each month, but when my account was set up at Chase, they said my payment was due on June 1st. And, Chase told me all the information they received regarding my purchase indicated I purchased the car on May 1st -- and I told them this wasn't true that I bought it on April 27th and signed the papers then. They are suggesting I fax my contract to them so they can investigate for discrepancies. My monthly payment amount is the same that the dealer stated, so I don't know what could be going on or where the fault should be -- with the dealer or with Chase. I don't know if anyone is really on my side. Chase told me that if the dealer changed the paperwork without my knowledge, there is a possibility I could take action to void the purchase contract and get my money back. Suggestions?? |

Greetings all, I'm currently looking for a Subaru 2.5x model and just got a quote from a local Subaru dealership down here in Long Beach, California and this is what I received via email; "Hi, The lowest I can do is $19319.00 plus tax and license. This price is $700.00 below factory invoice price. This is for an Aspen White 2.5x Automatic with rear bumper cover, cargo tray, splash guards and tailpipe cover. " I live in California and the tax would be .08 pct. I was wondering if any of you here from California can help me out in finding a good price for this car. I wanted to get the internet sales manager from Subaru to get it down to 19,000 INCLUDING tax and license.. 'ya think this is possible?

Replying to: awd4life (Jun 14, 2006 11:56 am) Maybe you could find a deal on an '06 Forester used as a program car, a loaner, or something, but for the little savings you'd find, a new '06 would probably be worth the difference. |
