I purchased my Crystal Grey XT Premium Auto for are you ready boys... $23,874. That included the 2000 bucks from Subaru. Per the dealer, this was a "loser" car. Included in the price was the all weather floor mats, rubber trunk mat, the splash guards, the center armrest extension and the bumper guard. I saved enough to do some add ons such as extended warranty. I got lucky because it didn't snow much here this year. Happy Driving! Girlwhogolfs |

Final Price incl rebate: $23,500 All in all, it was a good experience. Did my bargaining through email and calls. About a weeks worth of back and forth. Sour taste was when they made me fill out a credit application even though I was not applying for credit. Because "they wanted to make sure they could take a cheque from me" I know that was a lie and feel I should have walked out at that point...but I didn't! Next time, I'll know better! (Each time I go through a dealer experience, I learn some more!) This will also affect my rating on the customer sat survey, I'll tell you that! This forum helped me a lot to see what is a fair price to negotiate. Thanks to you all!

Hi All: I managed to get the Subie dealer down to $22,995 for an XS LLBean with options-- the same options as girlwhogolfs---we're supposed to sign papers tomorrow. I tallied the options with the car price, cash-back, and destination charge and the price seems to cut a little into the dealer holdback. Should we go thru with it? Of course I'm getting the "buy by the end of the month" speech. I'm assuming that the cashback will be extended again and that this is a deal I will still be able to get after the 1st. Problem is, I'm a little gun-shy. What do you all think?

The dealer's gotta feed his kids.  Holdback is, what, 2%? That's not enough to cover their costs, I think. They'll probably eat a small loss and try to make it up on service or something. Go for it, deal sounds great. -juice

| got dealer down to 22,400 after rebates. Could not pull trigger due to lack of actual vehicle on the lot. Mistake or not? Could not sign deal for something I can't kick the tires on ya know... | |

Replying to: anusak (Mar 30, 2005 5:06 am) when I see the phoney credit application being pushed in front of me and know the paint sealer / gap insurance / seat sealer coming on, I simply tell them that if they want a good grade on the customer service report then skip all the bullcrap and get me the keys as soon as possible. it works! |

Uh uh... we fillled one out even though we did an "either or" contract. Why do they have us fill it out? Is it some kind of scam? Our $22,295 beauty is in the driveway.And I looooove it. It even came with a subwoofer which I wasn't aware of. I want to go and sleep in the driveway under the moonroof, LOL. One other issue--- with the LL Bean ---you're supposed to get a "security system" . No such thing on our car. Only keyless entry. Do they consider that to be a "security system" ? Help!
