If you are not paying cash, make financing arrangement either thru your local credit union or get one of those auto-finance blank checks from captialone or any other bank.   If you go the blank-check route make sure that the dealership will accept them as a cash equivalent. Otherwise you might have to wait up to two weeks for the check to clear. Cap One is probably the most widely accepted such program.

Replying to: slazenger (Nov 15, 2006 4:12 pm) Thanks for all the info and advice.   What's up with the "processing fee"? Some charge $50, some $150. Is this negotiable? Freight? What other fees can I expect them to add on after I get there? And more importantly can I "just say no"?   Wow, this is a pain in the...   Does anyone have any insight about what incentives might be available next month or even January?

Replying to: hostahound (Nov 20, 2006 10:12 am) Some call it a document fee. Mine was 99 bucks. It is just a fee and can easily be waived but generally a hundred bucks is fair.

Replying to: hostahound (Nov 20, 2006 10:12 am) Nowadays just about every dealer charges one. Just include it in your final price comparison. Or ask them for an "out the door" price with tax and all, then compare those.   -juice
#1332 of 2225 price for 07 X P.P. AT -- how is this deal? by lucyliu Nov 28, 2006 (7:07 pm)
Hi everyone,   I am trying to buy a 2007 X.P.P, the quote I got is $24000 +tax +license, this doesn't include the $500 rebate. I am in north of NYC. How is this price?   Thank you very much!

Replying to: lucyliu (Nov 28, 2006 7:07 pm) Assuming there are no options adding to the price, invoice (incl. destination) on X Premium AT w/NY emissions requirement is about $23,800, minus rebate = $23,300. I'd set that price as a maximum, and you could probably do a little better. Dealer will still make plenty on any factory-to-dealer incentives and on the dealer holdback from Subaru. Best method is to get online price quotes from multiple dealers. Tell them what you're shooting for (maybe $23,000?) and see what response you get.   To give you another idea for ballpark pricing, Fitzmall in MD has Forester X Premiums w/AT for as low as about $22,500. Add another $200 for NY emissions, and you've got about $22,700, which is probably as low as you could go.   On the other hand, if the dealership you're currently dealing with is one you know and trust, their $24k price is certainly fair... paying a few extra dollars is worth it if you've found an honest dealership that gives you good service.   I'd also wait a few days 'til the December incentives come out. The rebate is $500 now, and I think it has a good chance of increasing as Subaru tries a final push to eke out an annual sales record here in the US.   Have fun shopping and let us know how you do!

Replying to: jeffmc (Nov 28, 2006 11:13 pm) Thank you so much for your suggestion. I took your advice to send email requesting for quotes, and I got some good quotes. For example, one quote I got is $22900, much less than I expected! The only thing is that they claimed the price is only good for today, but it is hard for me to go buying car today. I am hoping that Subaru will have a good incentive for December to keep the price low Replies to this message: jeffmc (Nov 30, 2006 8:29 pm) jeffmc (Dec 01, 2006 1:26 pm)

Replying to: lucyliu (Nov 30, 2006 2:45 pm) The odds are practically nil that the rebate would go away for December. We'll see on Friday whether they went up or stayed the same. Typically for Subaru, the rebates slowly go up throughout the model year, and don't go away or don't go down until a few months after the next year's model is released (summer of '07 for the Forester).   The dealer could only offer you that price for a day because they don't know for sure what change there will be in the incentives, so that's very understandable.

Replying to: jeffmc (Nov 30, 2006 8:29 pm) Well, looks like the Forester's rebates stayed the same for December... still $500 for X Premium.
