Replying to: daveit (Jan 10, 2007 8:59 pm) That'd be a good angle to take in this case, but note it's still at the dealer's discretion to accept the VIP pricing. Yes, the VIP price is before rebates. You would need to contact IMBA beforehand to get your VIP documentation from them.
#1381 of 2765 Good to hear by daveit Jan 11, 2007 (9:26 am)
I think they have over 40 on the lot not to mention a bunch of used ones (previous rental cars). I think they will deal. I'll get the IMBA stuff before I go...or maybe just show them my card and say..."well, I have to wait for this before I can buy" and maybe they'll just do invoice. If they did that I'd just throw an extra $100 with my membership renewal.
#1382 of 2765 Details on Subaru VIP Program by daveit Jan 12, 2007 (9:56 am)
So I called IMBA and got the skinny. The price is actually invoice minus 2% and you can combine it with any SoA rebates/incentives. So according to edmunds...$20015 -2% = $19165 + $625 dest - $49 color adjustment = $20191 - $1500 rebate = $18691   I have that letter printed off in case I get any flak. I called IMBA and they said they will notify SoA and I should have the letter (fax) in 24 to 48 hours.   Should I go in this weekend and talk to them or just wait until I have the letter in hand? I already have financing worked out.   The only place I think they can try to screw me is my trade in, but it shows 18,760 (KBB) and 18250 (NADA), so I'm thinking I can get 18,500.   If I told them 18,000 and a set of alloys (I have snow tires on my Honda that I want to move to Forester). I wonder if that would cost them more or less?   If you haven't yet read that "Confessions of a Salesman" article on edmunds...very informative and entertaining!   Let me know what you think because I might go this weekend.
#1383 of 2765 Trade-in by daveit Jan 12, 2007 (3:10 pm)
They told me to give them some notice before I bring in my CR-V, so they could get a Honda guy to come over since he'd give a higher quote. The guy also said there are no used CR-Vs so they are in demand...hopefully it works out.
#1384 of 2765 LOL by daveit Jan 14, 2007 (4:13 pm)
So I wasn't crazy they do have the Forester listed as 23,965 (on the buyatcontinental.com site) but if you click on the Subaru icon and search for Foresters it lists them as 21,970. The quote they gave me was of course the higher one.   They offered my 16000 for my CR-V. I was honest and told them that the car had been in a accident (had a outer door skin replaced) since I figured it would be on CarFax anyway. Well, they said that's why they trade-in is so low. The thing is it doesn't show up at all in CarFax so if they sell it the person isn't going to know.   I had to just leave after they gave me that bid. I really wanted to smack the guy. They only have 1 new CR-V sitting on the lot so I know they want it. They could easily sell it for over 20K.

Replying to: neprop (Jan 10, 2007 6:52 pm) Neprop,   I am in that neighborhood, actually my first Forester was bought there in 2001. Could you give more information (POC, skills for nogotiation)? I know the sales manager's name is Sal. Also, is there a chance that the rebate be increased to $2K at President's Day? TIA.   Henry

You might want to craigslist or ebay your CRV and then negotiate for $21,500 for Forester Automatic with Premium package. Replies to this message: p0926 (Jan 16, 2007 3:34 pm)

Replying to: jefbak (Jan 15, 2007 10:05 am) The drawback with that plan is that he'd have to pay tax on the full purchase price instead of the couple thousand difference if he traded in his Honda. Oh wait, they don't have sales tax in Alaska do they   -Frank
#1388 of 2765 2007 Subaru Forester X Auto for $19,999 by saabski Jan 17, 2007 (12:07 pm)
Hello all,   I have an offer of $19,999 (before TT&L, including Destination) for a 2007 Forester X auto. This price is including the $1,500 rebate and about $1,100 dealer discounts. The MSRP on the vehicle is about $22,600. I think I could do better by at least $1,000. Am I way off? I'm in Texas.   Any feedback would be appreciated.

Replying to: saabski (Jan 17, 2007 12:07 pm) Sorry about that-$19,999 INCLUDES the destination fee, but it is before taxes and fees. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 17, 2007 12:17 pm) kate5000 (Jan 17, 2007 12:18 pm)
