Good deal? by harrigan

Hi folks. Until recently I was considering leasing an 06 Legacy GT sedan with 5-spd tranny... am now thinking of buying. My numbers look okay compared to the Edmunds stuff, but it looks like other people are getting better deals. (I'm in Colorado.)
 
Dealer is offering $27,994 -- includes Homelink Mirror, Rocker Panel Trim, Subwoofer, Armrest Extension, Spoiler, Moonroof Deflector, Momo Shifter and window tinting.
 
That breaks down as follows: $29,029 for the car from the factory (includes Homelink Mirror, Sub, Rocker Trim and Armrest Extension). The options are the killer -- $486.50 for the Spoiler, Moonroof Deflector for $167, Momo Shifter for $112.50 and window tinting for $199. All "installed," which is why they say they're more than the factory invoice.
 
The $27,994 includes an "Internet Savings" of $952, but not the $1500 cash-back Suraru offer. So I'm out the door on this car for $26,494 + tax.
 
Fair price for Colorado?
 
I'm also considering third-party financing (5.95% through CapitalOne for 60 months) and am wondering if they're going to balk at that regarding the Internet Price and Cash-Back...
 
Thanks in advance,
 
-Harrigan

One more question...
 
Since the dealer-installed version of these options costs more than the factory equivalent, it's actually cheaper for me to order the car from the factory. But that'll mean different incentives will apply. Anyone know if the incentives are supposed to improve or decline in the next two months?

I had someone order an Outback when the rebate was $1000, now it's $1500, he wins...always a toss of the dice with Subaru, they like to give and take.

Yeah -- so I guess the question is what have the rebates looked like over the past six months or so? Is the current $1500 rebate low, high, average, etc.?

It depends on inventories, there's a chance it'll go to $2000 like the base model but you never know.
 
We had a $2000 rebate on the base Forester for the 2004 closeout and once they sold enough cars it went to $1500.

I say if you find the exact car you want, color and options and tranny, then go for it now. Even if the price does drop, so does selection, and you'd probably have to settle for at least a color you did not want, maybe options too. And the options would eat up any price advantage.
 
So if you can find your exact car, I would not wait.

2006 Legacy SE sedan by ronlogic

2006 SE sedan automatic transmission, no other options.
Just under $22,450 out-the-door, including California TTL.
I hope that's a reasonable price.

How do we know if it is reasonable since we don't know how much of that was TTL; therefore we don't know what you paid just for the car.
 
For example here in NH we have no sales tax, and we simply pay for the car at the dealer. Registration fees are done later at gov't offices. So let us know what you paid for the car (base+options+delivery+any dealer fees).

Don't have the exact breakdown in front of me right now. I think the out-the-door amount included about $1800 in California taxes, $250 in various fees (dmv registration and documentation), plus a $9 "tire fee".
 
I worked strictly with out-the-door total quotes, because I didn't want to be "surprised" by various other added options, fees and charges after I got to the dealer (e.g. other ways to hide their markup). So I have no idea what they wrote in for the vehicles price or dealer fees. It's a 2006 2.5i SE automatic sedan with zero extra options. Maybe something for California emissions.
 
I'm very pleased with my new Legacy so far. I'd been driving my trustworthy Celica for 23 years, but, after 325k miles, the Toyota 2.2R engine was starting to burn oil a bit too much. My near base model new Legacy feels like a luxury sports car in comparison.
