Replying to: willyb1264 (May 24, 2008 1:06 am) Willy,   The fact that they don't want to put it in writing is a possible red flag.   If you still want to go ahead with the deal, YOU can put it in writing just as well as they can. Email them the exact constraints of your deal. Including any options. The price you will be paying, etc. Be very specific!!! Have them respond to you that this is the deal you both are agreeing to. The reply in the affirmative on top of the email that you sent them should be binding enough.   They may just want to get you on site and then pull a bait and switch...or maybe not... ya never know.   You are still fully able to "shop the deal" without having something in writing from them. Let them know you know this. Be confident when dealing with them. Remember, you can always walk away. They are the ones that want YOUR money. BTW, have you shopped the deal already so that you know you are getting the price you want for the car you want??? Replies to this message: willyb1264 (May 26, 2008 4:17 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (May 21, 2008 8:58 am) Hey Ateixeira,   What model and options have you ordered?   Also, I really don't know what to do as regards my options: on the one hand I can get them all at invoice installed by the dealer, but on the other I could just get it almost bare and buy them online and have my Brother in Law (who does autobody) put them in aftermarket. I would have to do that over time gradually though... Replies to this message: mfletou1 (May 26, 2008 5:55 pm)

Replying to: sgloon (May 24, 2008 3:58 pm) I did shop the deal around and the second lowest quote was $1000 or so more. The significant other nixed buying out of area and I didn't want to pay that much more than my lowest quote on the Forester so we settled on a second vehicle (a 2009 Hyundai Sonata) that was aggressively priced locally. The Forry will have to wait until next year when we replace the other car in the family.

Replying to: mwasnidge (May 26, 2008 1:56 pm) Not to sound like a crankly old man (though I am cranky, and most assuredly a man), but he's talked about his experience pretty extensively. Perhaps you could just scroll back a little bit and find it?
#1956 of 2724 Price Paid for 2.5XT Limited w/Nav by bclements May 26, 2008 (8:39 pm)
After months of researching, deliberating, nearly committing to a vehicle, then delayed (by the stop-saled order), I was finally able to pull the trigger this weekend!   My Car:   2009 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited with VDC & Navigation Obsidian Black Pearl   Options  - Auto Dimming Mirror w/compass & homelink  - Puddle Light Kit  - Rear Bumper Cover  - Luggage Compartment Cover  - Splash Guard Kit  - Front Bumper Underguard   MSRP: $31,788 INVOICE: $29,434   DEALER OFFER: $28,745 ($689 below invoice)   I had gotten quotes from 3 different dealers via the internet. One dealer had the same car, same options as above, except that it did not have navigation. Unfortunately they were not as flexible on price and were quoting $28,116, about $600 above invoice. I figured, why not pay the extra $500 then and just get the Navi, even though I fetl I didn't really need it. After using it the last few days, boy am I glad I got it! Its terrific!   All & all I feel I got a pretty good deal. The dealer I dealt with was top-notch, great service, and made the transaction very easy. I didn't really have to haggle much. The offer I got via the internet was already great.   One sidenote, when working with the dealer, he showed me his computer screen as we were working the numbers. He explained that he had a $600 holdback, plus a $200 incentive provided I financed with them, and that he was only making $110. Of course there could be other unknowns he did not divulge to me, but he seemed very honest. Additionally, this appeared to be a relatively new flagship dealership which had just opened recently.   In Summary: Best car-buying experience I have ever had, and I love my Subaru!   -Bill Replies to this message: jeffmc (May 26, 2008 9:16 pm) bclements (May 26, 2008 9:58 pm)
