| Looking to buy a 2009 Impreza Outback Sport in Chicagoland. So far the best price I've got - $19,423 was from Evanston Subaru. It looks like it is possible to find it even cheaper, but what about the dealership experience? Is there anyone here from Chicago, who has dealt with Evanston Subaru? How are they? | |

Replying to: newmanium (May 26, 2009 8:14 am) The financing is through the automaker, not a bank (although some get money through a bank, they just buy down the rate). If you finance through the automaker, they will get the commision. Through the auto makers eyes, you either get the financing or the rebate. If they give you both, the automaker will lose both the commision price and the cash back rebate, which is why combining both offers is only reserved for cars that are not selling at all (ie outback). So, what is worse, giving your customer $2000 to use towards a car, or giving the dealer $400 to let the customer get a really good financing rate? If they finance through a bank. they may not get a commision, but they will add 1 or 2% to the rate and keep that added precentage as their profit. The reality is, lots of automakers realized they could also make money by becoming their own banks. This is why they offer college grads those special rebates (and you cannot combine it with special financing and they encourage no money down). It forces them to finance through the automaker to get the rebate. With a rate of around 5% over 5 years (this is what toyota gives their top tier student rates now) they will easily recoup that $400 they gave to the dealer as commsion and that rebate they gave to the buyer. If they buyer just does minimum payments each month and he/she put not money down, that is easily $3000 for the auto maker over the life of the loan. |

Perhaps they will come back with $29.5 but they cannot include tax/title and destination in the price and you will be around $31 walking away. |

Replying to: r2m45 (Jun 04, 2009 5:23 pm) For the first time ever we didn't have to go across the state line to buy a new car (Maryland) and picked up an Impreza Outback Sport for 18.3k - first time ever a PA dealership just gave a quote over the phone...... |

Just went to the dealer today, and got the following number: Retail Value: $21,964 Discount: $625 Conveyance Fee: $329 Tag Fee: $178 Total (tax's not included): $21,846 APR: 2.9% According to some previous posts, some people even get around $16500(Tax not included) for a base model 09 Impreza 5 DR. Do you guys think getting the total price down to $19,800 is a good deal? If any of you know a dealer is selling the 09 Impreza 5DR prem. pkge for around $19,800, please let me know. Thank you. |

Replying to: tinycadon (Jun 14, 2009 5:47 pm) Besides that, have any of you done business with Fitzmall.com? If yes, do you know what are their procedures of out of state purchase? (I am from CT). Thank you.

Replying to: jinglecar (Jun 14, 2009 7:51 pm) Go to the websites for a couple of dealers near you, maybe three, and submit a request for a quote through the internet. You should get close on the very first round of responses, as tough as car sales are right now. |
