Legacy, Outback and B9 Tribeca are built in Indiana, so imported Subarus are Impreza and Forester, which come in through Baltimore and Vancouver (WA), I believe. The Port of Vancouver was Subaru's sole port of entry for a while. Newport News, VA, was also a port of entry... not sure if Subaru continues importing there as well as Baltimore, or if Baltimore replaced Newport News. I don't think any Subarus arrive in CA.
 
I live in the NW, and I think the deals I've gotten have been every bit as good as in the Mid-Atlantic states. Subaru of New England actually adds on a surcharge, so buying in New England could cost you more money, not less.

Many factors exist, mostly supply and demand. And while demand is high here, there are plenty of dealerships, 7 near me.

Did you buy extended warrantee for your Subaru ? by lucyliu

Hi everyone, just curious if you bought any extended dealer warrantee when you bought your subaru? My dealer suggested me the other day that they offered a 5yr/60000ml warrantee inaddition to the standard 3yr/36000ml for about $420. Since this is my first Subura, I am not sure if this is necessary. Anyone can give me some advice here?
 
Thank you!

Price sounds good, and remember you get free roadside assistance for the entire duration.
 
If you pay for AAA now, that'll save you a bunch right there, and it may be worth it.

In addition to what -juice said - make sure it is an extended factory warranty (if available) & not a third party one. If it's a third party, read it VERY carefully before getting it. Most of them aren't worth the paper....in my opinion.
 
An extended factory warranty *usually* can be purchased up to the end of your original warranty. In other words, if you have a 3 year warranty, you can purchase it at 35 months if you think you may need it. You may decide to trade or sell it before then.

That is a good price. The dealer cost is 350 bucks for the best one as there are two levels if I am not mistaken. "Retail" recommended is like 750. Mine offered at the 350.
 
So check also what level it is...One has more limited coverage.

What to pay for a pre-owned '06? by 2gbj

Wanted your opinion on a deal for a used '06 Forester with Premium Package. Just under 20K miles. I believe the car has the tow package (which I don't need -- but the car is the car). I live in New England, and have an offer from a dealership for $20K plus tags and tax. Would love to hear thoughts. Thanks!

With year-end incentives, you could probably get a brand-new 07 for 23K, 24 tops (+ tags and tax), and that's the way I'd go. Heck, if you can somehow track down a new unsold 2006, the heavy incentives on those would bring it pretty close to 20K.
 
To echo the sentiments often expressed by the great Mathias Steiner in other forums, it doesn't usually make sense to buy a lightly-used Subaru, Honda, Toyota, etc. They don't depreciate enough in the first year or first few years to make it worth your while.
 
I mean, look what's happening here -- a year-old car with pretty heavy miles is going to fetch just $2500/$3500 less than what it sold for new? That's kind of nuts, imo -- let someone else bite that bullet.
 
Go new, get 3 years/36000 of warranty, zero miles on the ticker, that nice new-car smell, better resale down the road, etc, etc, etc.

I've been quoted $18,400 (customer cash, all negotiating etc included) plus $159 Documentation Fee for this vehicle. So out the door it's $18,559. Is this a good deal? Feedback appreciated.
