Found a left over 2005 Impreza 2.5RS auto sedan,Crystal Gray Metallic/black interior, at a local dealer's website. MSRP $20,147, including ARMREST EXTENSION, and SPOILER as the options, according to their website. Left my email address, got a message from them below: "Hello CKS, I'm BB from WJ Subaru in xxxxville. I wanted to thank you for your response on the 2005 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS. Great news! I still have this vehicle available. It is a brand new Impreza not a DEMO, and we paid Subaru $18,713.00 for the Impreza. I've never been more motivated to sell a vehicle. When would be a good day or time for us to meet? Please make sure you ask for me when you do decide to come in so you can get the special internet price!" I replied to him saying that I was expecting it to be a DEMO for cheap. Then got another reply: "Hey CKS, You can get this vehicle really really really cheap. When do you think you can make it in? If you're not interested in the 2005 Impreza. I do have a 2003 with really good miles I'll sell you cheap!!" So what do you guys think is a good price for this 2005 "new" car? As I've seen among the local HONDA, TOYOTA, and NISSAN's dealers' inventories, there were no left over compact cars like civics, corollas, and sentras even months before. Which I think is attributed to the high demand of these inexpensive vehicles. Do you folks suspect if there is any potential problem with this car's background? I remember somebody mentioned on this board that some Subarus were contaminated by acid, or sth else, then auctioned by Subaru to its dealers.I checked the CARFAX report and it returned 0 records on this car's VIN. I guess there should not be any problem, or should it? Any thoughts? |

Replying to: slazenger (Apr 16, 2006 6:07 am) Thanks for your reply. The dealer says there's 446 miles currently on the car and he is asking for $17,713, taking into account the current $500 rebate. As I figured out, the dealer invoice + destination = $17,754 (base auto trans invoice)+ $300 (spoiler invoice)+ $84 (armrest extension invoice)+ $575 (destination)=$18,713. This is what the dealer told me they paid Subaru. MSRP + destination = $19,572 ($19,045 base + $399 spoiler + $128 armrest extension) + $575 = $ 20,147. This is the "MSRP" on the dealer website. Dealer cost (not considering the cost they run the shop)= $18,713 - 3%*$19,572 (I do not think they can get holdback on the dest. fee  but correct me in case)= $18,713 - $ 587.16 = $18125.84. Taking off the $500 rebate they can sell for $17625.84 not to lose money. So that is close to $17,713 he asked. I remember people usually take 2 grands off or so to compensate for one MY loss. Do you think this (~$15,700)would be fair to both me and the dealer? Thanks. BTW, KBB gave me a higher private party price for a 1000 mile-used 2005 than a new 2006 while Edmunds seems to be fair. I suspect KBB tends to overprice pre-owned cars.

Replying to: chipkarsicker (Apr 17, 2006 11:16 pm) All that for what amounts to their holdback? Not worth it to me. I'd buy a new model and pay a little more. The discount should be bigger given those miles. -juice |
