VIP pricing is for ppl who work for companies that are part of the program and usually receive 2% below invoice from dealers who are part of the program. In most cases, and in mine, i was able to negotiate 2% below invoice if not a little more with just some good old bargaining. Of course it's not as easy but you can still do it.
 
Subaru bucks comes from using the Subaru Chase card and you earn 3% from your purchases up to 500 a year toward other purchases, service, etc.

Thanks.
 
We got our Chase Subaru credit card about 2 years after we bought our 2002 Legacy.
 
Prior to that we had a Toys-R-Us card and used the credits to buy diapers!
 
The kids got out of diapers, so we got the Subaru one, and have accumulated $2000 so far. $100 was spent on accessories and $300 in the body shop, though we cashed out because insurance paid us.
 
I recommend it, if it fits your needs. You earn 3% back, limited to $500 per year, and the best part is you don't have to buy a new Subaru to use them. You can ue it for CPO Subarus, parts, accessories, mechanical repairs, service, even body shop repairs. They're not hard to spend. The trick is saving them up!

Buying via Fleet Dealer by packrfan

Does anyone have any experience, pro's or con's of buying through a fleet dealer. I'm told they can buy single vehicles at fleet pricing, or arrange for a dealer to see directly to consumer if leasing or financing through the dealer, at prices lower than the consumer can negotiate. I don't see a downside to this, as long as my net cost is lower. Any thoughts?

Just picked up a Limited...Dark Grey w/platinum leather interior...Somerset Subaru, NJ.
 
09' Forester X Limited
PZEV
Not sure of the other options (auto dim mirror, methinks)
Definitely had the rear bumper cover
Dealer added crossbars, no charge.
 
$25500 total
 
Seems a bit high after visiting here, but same as what other dealers quoted...after bargaining.
 
Oh...my first Subie,
 
And Bill, the manager there, worked with me for over 2 months... and never pressured. Excellent sales manager.

I didn't get the auto dim mirror, and those aren't cheap, so it makes sense that yours would cost a little more.
 
I also did not get crossbars.

No autodim mirror by djmacedonas

Actually,
 
I went back to the dealership on Friday. No autodim mirror. Included mudflaps, luggage cover, and aero crossbars and all weather car mats. I'm calling him tomorrow to add:
 
The door trim (to protect)
The cargo tray (I think its useful)
May add the autodim mirror. It's hard to justify almost $200 bucks for a mirror (I can always just use my own garage door opener, and the GPS navigation unit I have has a pretty good compass.
 
I'll ask for what price he can add those things.

I was quoted $25271 for 2009 Subaru Forester Ltd in spark silver with Popular Equipment Grp 4-A, #F9I: auto dimming mirror, compass, Puddle Lights and Luggage compartment cover, #O9A. I have to pay Va tax 3%, tag & title fee $93, processing fee is $99, and out-the-door price is $26224.10 . I did not get the auto dimming mirror with Homelink ( my garage opener will do the job:)

Hey Everyone!
I shopped around and went to Liberty Subaru in Oradell, NJ and got the best deal I've seen around.
Got the 09' X Limited, PZEV, White with Mud Flaps and Rear Bumper Cover
 
They sold me the car for $25,000 even... then add in the price of the flaps/bump cover (not sure but that's like another 150 bucks or something.
 
Net out.. I leased the car for 36 months, 12K miles a year, 790 out of pocket, 370 a month.

We have a Ltd model as well. The Beans are all gone, I suppose.
 
We're all lucky because these models are hard to find. I special ordered mine, and even when I took delivery my dealer did not have a single Bean or Limited in stock (and they have 2 locations!).
