Replying to: fsrph (Oct 10, 2008 5:22 am) Above someone mentioned the autos start at $20.6k - I think you can do a little better than that. Keep shopping, I think you can beat $20k.

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 10, 2008 11:01 am)  Can't get a Premium for under $20k, no way, no how, unless it's used. Fitzmall has manual X Prem Pkg. for around $21.5k, so that should be a good target. They've got a red one w/All Weather Pkg (heated seats, windshield, mirrors), for $22k. What part of the country are you in, fsrph? Perhaps we can give you a couple dealer suggestions. If you're in no hurry, I'd at least consider waiting til the end of the year. Sales prices certainly won't go up, and the economy may be bad enough to prompt a small rebate by then. They usually start at $500, if that's worth the wait and risk there'll be a rebate at all. Subaru's more interested in profit margins than sales volume, so we likely won't see any fire sale price-slashing. Forester's still going strong, Legacy is up, Impreza's down a little, and Outback and Tribeca are down a fair amount. The economy hasn't affected Subaru nearly as much as most manufacturers, so we'll see...

Replying to: jeffmc (Oct 10, 2008 8:22 pm) I'm not sure if I should wait or not because I plan on trading a 2003 Nissan 350Z and will receive more for it now compared to trading it in the middle of winter. Thanks. Frank

Anyone here from NJ looking to buy a car sometime soon? I was thinking it would be a great idea to get some people together to buy a car from the same dealer/salesman. There's nothing like walking in and saying "How'd you'd like to sell 4 cars today" to get a nice discount... Let me know if you're interested!

I think the fact that I had no trade-in and paid cash helped the deal. Seemed like a fair deal, but I didn't do a lot of shopping around, so I'm not sure. I just went to a reputable dealer. I was debating whether I should wait for a few more weeks for possible rebates, worsening economy, and dealers being more motivated to unload inventory towards the end of the year. But, I just couldn’t wait! Happy shopping to those of you still shopping for one.

Hope someone can help me with pricing on a 2009 2.5x Limited PZEV (I'm in NJ) - this is my first time purchasing a car and calculations are making my brain mush. All calculations below don't include any dealer fees: Consumer reports reports invoice: $24,330 + $665 destination + $200 PZEV = $25,195 Then they state holdback = $780, so dealer cost is $25,195 - $780 HB = $24,415 Now, the dealer gave me "supposedly" $200 below invoice pricing at $25,615 He even faxed me the "factory invoice" which states this price. Am I to believe Consumer Reports and this supposed factory invoice pricing includes a huge chunk of holdback? If I believe Consumer Reports, then if I offered $24,800 base it would give the dealer a $385 profit (i.e. Dealer Cost $24,415 + $385 HB= $24,800). HELP!!!!!  Thanks
