#31 of 2765 frying by subkid Aug 31, 2003 (5:51 am)
starting from the back.   I agree with the website remark. Actually I couldn't agree more. But if you checked, it changed yesterday, you'd see that new info is there, and according to it, there's no financing available from Subaru right now. You should only hope their info is wrong this time around.   I don't think you have time to do all I did with my purchase, so I'd suggest a quick fix. Call Subaru of Calgary (they also sell Jaguar) and see what they can do for you with regards to 2003 models. If nothing, than I'd suggest wait a little until situation improves.   And one more thing - don't buy stocks these days - your timing is awful   K
#32 of 2765 Yup, SoCowtown it is! by fryingbologna Aug 31, 2003 (4:39 pm)
They have been, by far, the best dealership I have found in the province, and the salesguy there has been very patient with me. No way to get through to them until Tuesday, though, and the website, as you said, shows zero financing. Not zero percent. No financing at all! Man, I would trade all the XT MT moonroofs in Canada for a website like the SoA has!   Carcostcanada.com butchered my attempt to get invoice pricing on the XS Premium, and I have nothing to show for 45 minutes worth of trying. I hope I can get something before I go in on Tuesday to be a bit informed on what I should be asking. I have a semi-recent MSRP + delivery package of $CAN 37,7454 for the tricked out XS Premium. I would guess the invoice + delivery package to be in the CAN$ 35,500 range, lower with incentives for the 2003.

Frying, what do you mean carcostcanada didn't show anything? They worked for me. Maybe, if you tried 2004 model? Also, Subaru of Calgary is their business partner, so you might want to consider going for the premium membership and have them try negotiations for you. Before doing that, I'd try to ensure that there are 2003s available in the Western Canada. There is something else. Assuming that there are some 2003 available and that 1.8% for them were in the effect on Friday, if you ask them nicely, they might be able to squeeze you in and show that deal was arranged on Friday.   A far as trading of XT MT moon roofs goes, I'd even throw in 4.11 final gearing ratio for free ))   K   K
#34 of 2765 Carcostcanada woes by fryingbologna Aug 31, 2003 (9:37 pm)
I can't get the website to take my VISA! "Take my money" I say, and it just ignores my requests. All three invoice websites I found giving Canuck prices use the same durn authentication website.   Thanks for the heads-up on the premium thingy with Carcost, though, subkid! That would be worth the price of a premium membership, for sure! I'll call as early on Tuesday as I can, and see what's up for availability and financing. It might be a deal-killer to not have that 1.8% anymore, but I can't belive there is no financing at all!

frying, I had problems with credit card thing too. It turned out, you have to put your CC info exactly the way it appears on the monthly statement, address in particular.   I used combination of premium membership/fine tuning the deal myself and and it worked for me well. I already described my take on it on the other site (whose address I can't post here) and in the recent thread Forester vs CRV , but long and short of it is: 1.8% makes $3200 (even more for XS premium) difference between Forester and CRV for example.   If you can't get financing 1.8% - well there is another thing you can do (depending on your circumstances, of course) but - TALK TO YOUR TAX MAN/FINANCIAL ADVISOR FIRST. Sell some investments, pay for car in cash, borrow money with intention to invest and buy investments back (after 30+ days). Interest rates on such loans aren't too high these days and interest can be written off against any future gain tax on the investment. As an additional benefit, you will probably realize some nice capital losses (if you are like the most of north Americans ( ) and get a chance to realign your position now when new cycle starts.   Hello village, can't you see how hard I work to get another member in! )))))   K
#36 of 2765 Hmmm... That's like having my cake... by fryingbologna Sep 01, 2003 (12:16 pm)
... and eating it 31 days later - while driving around in a new Forester! Thanks, subkid... though my 'tax expert' resides on a little Intuit CD that I buy every year!   I'll let you know how things progress over the next week or two. It would be cool to drive a new Forester out to Waynefest next weekend, especially if there is a desert monsoon to take a spin in!   Go Esks! Yup, you read that right... GO ESKS GO!!
#37 of 2765 How 'bout XS pricing? by qdisc Sep 02, 2003 (6:14 am)
Getting quoted b/t $500 to $800 over invoice in Colo. Anyone with recent XS buying experience to share? I thought this was pretty decent, right around the Edmunds TMV, but dang, if people are paying under invoice, I'm not so sure!   Thx.   Qdisc
#38 of 2765 many XT premium packages by subewannabe Sep 02, 2003 (7:20 am)
like STi's and many other "hot" cars with limited production runs, are going straight to dealership owners' and sales managers' driveways with dealer tags on them. The big dogs dont want to sit on cloth seats, and the vroom in the XT is irresistable . A lot of them, at least for now, will never make it to the lot.     Unless you're willing to wait , you may have to settle for a less desirable color or consider aftermarket leather. The aftermarket moonroofs are no comparison to the OEM in the Forester, so thats a tough one. Mark

2003s have a $750 incentive, prices should end up below invoice once you factor that in.   -juice
#40 of 2765 qdisc- Check this out by gbernsteen Sep 02, 2003 (12:08 pm)
Well I guess I can't post the link, even though I didn't buy from them. But check out fitzmall.com   Try most new 2004 Foresters for SEVEN hundred under invoice....not a bad deal at all!   Pretty amazing. I do wonder how they can make much money, even w/holdback.
