$1250 incentive? Wow, that's sweet. I'm tempted...too bad I'm not in the market right now, that price is crazy low.   -juice

#385 of 2765 Is this a good deal for an '04 FXT? by dtos01 Aug 16, 2004 (2:55 pm)
Is this a good deal for an '04 FXT Premium w/ leather?   $25,851 (invoice) + tax, title, etc. then minus $1250 rebate? Does the rebate get applied after tax is added to the figure? The car has approx. 50 dealer/lot miles on the odometer...   Thanks! Replies to this message: edunnett (Aug 16, 2004 10:23 pm) dcm61 (Aug 17, 2004 3:43 am) dtos01 (Aug 17, 2004 6:00 am)

Replying to: dtos01 (Aug 16, 2004 2:55 pm) it's not a bad deal, but you could probably do better... i got the xt w/o leather and w/o moonroof for $24,600 inc destination. for $1200 more you are getting the moonroof and leather - approximately a $1500 value. However there's that rebate... I'd offer them $24,800 and you'll buy it same day. Go in end of month. elissa Replies to this message: dcm61 (Aug 17, 2004 3:43 am) dtos01 (Aug 17, 2004 6:00 am)

Replying to: dcm61 (Aug 17, 2004 3:43 am) So, is it a good price after the rebate?? I'm about to call the dealer?

Tax depends on the state. In MD, you pay sales tax before the customer rebate. But if it's a dealer incentive and they pass it on to you, you are taxed only on the lower price.   It can vary by state, though, many states do not tax you on the rebate amount.   -juice
#390 of 2765 Is this a good deal for a 2004 Forester X auto ? by elmoblatch Aug 17, 2004 (4:07 pm)
The MSRP is $22,996-   The dealer will knock off $3,350 ( includes $1,250 rebate ). Dealer called back today & was willing to drop another $500 because they low balled my trade last night.   I am going to try & sell the car myself & then come back to the dealer for the lowest price.   Also wondering about rust-proofing....I live in NYS and they use a lot of salt on the roads. I have not owned a Subaru before & don't know how much rust-proofing is done when they are built.   Thanks in advance for your help-
#391 of 2765 Changing my mind on window tint after the sale by boomerbubba Aug 17, 2004 (5:54 pm)
I bought a new 2004 Forester XT about 10 days ago. Made good deal on the car (thanks to shopping online first).   My one regret is that I agreed to a window tint job, and its price was added into the sale and the loan. Now, having belatedly learned a lot about window tints, I have changed my mind. I know what kind of tint I really do want, but it is not what the dealer offers.   The tint installation is not scheduled yet. This weekend I emailed my sales rep and asked if it was possible to arrange for the brand of tint I want, which is Huper Optik ceramic. I think this looks like a superior product to the Solar Gard film the dealer uses. I know it is more expensive.   The response, which did not surprise me, was no. Their tint supplier doesn't carry it. "Never heard of it" was the actual response, which is not credible to me.   I feel personal responsibility for agreeing to an unspecified tint job without researching it first, and I understand that this is a high-markup item for the dealer. Given all that, I didn't just say, "I've changed my mind. Please give me my money back."   Instead, I suggested that they just cancel out the tint job and apply those dollars to a retail credit in their own parts/service dept. (I'm sure there are healthy margins there, too.) That way, since they can't provide the tint product I really want, I would just shop it independently. But they would keep the same amount of business on other accessory goodies. Seemed like a win-win deal to me.   The sales rep first said that seemed reasonable, but then came back after checking with the bad cops (sales manager and business manager) and said no-can-do. They said the tinting supplier has already been paid for the job. <Rolling my eyes>   I ended up sending an email to all three, saying thanks but no, I choose not to take delivery on the tint job. No matter what, it is now a net negative to me (even if it were free) because it would preclude installation of the higher-quality product I really want.   I left it up to the dealer to rectify their own <ahem> accounting with the tint provider, and to give me whatever refund or consideration I may be due. If they think that is zero, then I asked them to just say so.   I think this can be analyzed on several different levels:   * What is legal? * What is ethical? * What sort of aftertaste will I have when I fill out Subaru of America's customer satisfaction survey?   What do others think?
