We finally caved and ordered one. Blue Limited, PZEV, platinum leather, lots of accessories along with it. VIP price was $25.2k, but $1600 Subaru Bucks brought that down to $23.6k. We have to wait, but the good thing is that if any incentives appear between now and then they will apply to our deal.

Replying to: slaterac (May 09, 2008 7:04 am) The best price I got was for just over 300 under invoice on a automatic x premium with lots of add ons (tail pipe covers, cross bars, puddle lights, ipod connector, subwoofer, tweeters, cargo tray, bumper cover, maybe other stuff?) Invoice was 24,100. The dealership offered me 23,750 + ttl. |

Some dealers will ask you to sign a liability waiver. Word of warning though. I just read something on identity theft and they recommend that you get that photocopy back from them before you leave the dealer...you never know how they dispose of it or who might have access to it. |

Replying to: samirataustin (May 05, 2008 6:00 pm) I was checking out used car prices as well as new when I was doing my research. I found I can almost by a new vehicle for the price of a used one...sometimes one 3 years old with 40K...at least that is their asking price good indicator. that is the main reason I'll be buying a new one. |

Replying to: slaterac (May 09, 2008 7:04 am) To get the best price be sure to do all your homework first and know exactly what you want and what you are willing to pay, not just the final price, but know the itemized prices as well. Take the time to do all the research, even thougth you do know more than the salesmen.  They may not all come into play, but the more info you have in any negotiation, the better. Determining how much a specific dealer is willing to give up to you could be important. Get several internet prices for the exact vehicle you want before you even go into the negotiation. Read some negotiation books before you start if you are unfamiliar with methods and tactics. The worst part of dealing with the car game is that you are negotiating for yourself. However, the dealership puts the salesman between you and himself, the decision maker, giving him the advantage. There is nothing to keep you from doing the same thing. And it would help to keep your emotions, which get tied to the vehicle that you want, out of the game. Many times, long pauses can earn you a better deal. I had a dealer come down $1000 and throw in a bunch of stuff worth about $750 recently by hemming & hawing and not really saying anything. If you are too frustrated to do it yourself, there are people out there who will do the negotiation for you and get your price.
