You guys are buying them all up! My dealer still can't find a Silver or Blue LL Bean model (no Nav) for us. Sales were up 49% in April, Subaru's best April ever.

Replying to: pgb0517 (May 02, 2008 6:34 am) Anybody else has any pricing information around Austin? 200 over invoice seems very good- almost within a couple of hundred dollars of buying at Fitzmall and getting it shipped to Austin. I was hoping to use the Subaru VIP program (invoice minus 2%) but looks like I may not be able to make use of it. So any info on other deals around Austin is much appreciated. Thanks! |

Folks- Who are the Subaru internet dealers with online posted prices for 09 Foresters? Any dealer recommendations from those who made a long distance purchase over email/ phone? Care- abouts: low price, responsiveness and low hassle buying process. Hopefully this chain will be a handy reference point for others as well. Thanks!

I have been given specific information that they are closing soon. I have also sent this info to the business desk of our local newspaper for verification, but have not heard back. I suggest anyone interested in dealing with them call them directly to gauge for themselves the suitability of shopping there. Their Web site is still active and they show inventory. It is part of a group of 14 dealerships, according to their Web site. However, given that we apparently got dropped by the sales team, we chose not to go back over there in person to find out what was going on. (One day this week our sales rep was "at a funeral"; the next, he was supposedly there but did not respond to the front-desk page, and he nor anyone else ever called us back.) I'm being careful here -- if the dealer is actually closing, no doubt they want to be tight-lipped about it so as not to drive away customers. At the same time, potential customers deserve to know. A colleague of mine told me about another Austin car dealer a few years back that told her they were closing down -- but not until right after she signed the papers to buy her car! Finally, we have a new Subaru dealer opening here, in Georgetown, just north of Austin. That is good news in terms of competition. Hope all this info helps Austin folks. I hope this discussion doesn't violate the Edmunds terms of service ...

Replying to: samirataustin (May 02, 2008 7:37 pm) I also have not seen much mention of the Subaru and Dealer incentive of the 24-month/24K official Subaru maintenance plan. We got that without asking. It's worth about four oil changes, two tire rotations and more. Anybody else getting those as part of the deal in other parts of the country?

Replying to: samirataustin (May 02, 2008 7:53 pm) Fitzgerald Auto Malls is the only dealer I know of that lists their actual sales prices online. Even if you don't live near one, you can get a fairly good idea of what kind of price to shoot for at your local dealer. -Frank
