June Incentives by ateixeira

Looks like no new incentives for June.
 
Oh well, 2009 prices are close to 2008 prices as is. Any rebates and they may end up cheaper, and then the last few 2008s would never sell.

Wow if they really quoted you 20,800 on a car that was 24,000 that would have been a steal in my opinion. Still 21,800 still is a good price if it includes the destination. I presume you are looking at the manual premium? In my personal experience getting prices for the new 09 I found the best dealers could so was ~2000 under MSRP depending on the options. Do you know what the dealer doc/conveinance fee is around your area?

Aterixeira:
 
how do you know if subaru will have June incentives yet?
 
The subaru guy I spoke to today said today (June 2) was the effective "last day of the month". And the 4.5% rate is good through today as well. So I assumed the new deals won't be out yet. Where were you looking?
 
thx

"I presume you are looking at the manual premium?" Yes, I want the manual transmission. I've never owned an automatic!
 
"Do you know what the dealer doc/convienance fee is around your area?"
  I think it is about $50. I have never actually queried about it, but heard someone mention that number one time. I always ask for the total cost of the vehicle plus taxes only. I don't allow them to add on any dealer handling fees either, or, if they do, it is wrapped into the price that they are quoting me. It is the only way I can effectively compare prices from different dealers.
 
So the 20,800 was a plus tax only price.
 
There are 13 Subaru dealers in my area, so it is pretty competetive here on the prices. We also have the dealer who sells more Subaru's than any other dealer in the country here. So, I guess the volume of Subaru's in this area helps with the prices.

50 is very low for a dealer doc, they are 300 in CT and even higher in other states. All the luck to you in finding a car.

Thanks, PHD!
 
I did ask the dealer I spoke with today, and they said everything was wrapped into the cost for them except $17.20 for the filing fee.
 
Then I have to pay $7.20 title fee for my county. And of course taxes and registration.
6.7% taxes in my town and approximately $500+ for registration.

Here on Edmunds.
 
Let me check again today, since it's the first day past that deadline...
 
Mysterious...they do not list Subaru yet. I gotta find out.

I've also been waiting to see what the June incentives are...can't find it anywhere.
 
I have a dumb question-with the VIP program, do you get the accesories at 2% below invoice also? And does it make a difference to the final price depending on how they calculate it? Just want to be sure what to look out for when doing the final deal...i'm ridiculously wary of car salesman...they have to be the most unscrupulous people out there!

They haven't updated the Subaru website yet, either.
 
so, probably Edmonds is waiting on Subaru...

Yes, 2% below on the total invoice, including options and accessories.
 
We ordered a bunch - 2 nets, cargo cover, cargo liner, bumper protector, mud guards, and a few others IIRC.
 
It arrived at the port yesterday, so hopefully they are putting on those accessories as we speak. Can't wait!
