Replying to: jeffmc (Jun 24, 2006 11:49 pm) Thanks for the info jeffmc. Warranty is a big concern though. From the website, it indicates that all warranty services must be done by dealer in the US... I still remember the exchange rate was ~0.6 only 4 years ago... and now it is >0.9. People were importing cars from Canada back then. The tide has changed.

Replying to: jskho (Jun 26, 2006 6:49 am) Hopefully your friend wouldn't need to use the warranty often, if at all, but it would be an inconvenience to have to drive a couple hours for warranty work.   My wife and I used to vacation in B.C. because it was a good deal. Now it's slightly more expensive than travelling in the States, I think, but we like it so much we still travel there regularly.

Replying to: jskho (Jun 22, 2006 8:07 am) This is the deal we got for a 2006 2.5i SE auto in Vancouver, BC. MSRP C$30394 Wholesale C$27757 Negotiated price C$29357 All these numbers include C$1495 freight and PDI as well as C$100 A/C excise tax.   Can probably get another C$200 lower but it is hard to negotiate price in Canada. I know, you can easily get this car for $20k in the US but warranty and trade in makes this option unfavorable. Also the SE package costs C$699 in Canada but only $300 in the US. Got very good price on the trade-in though. Replies to this message: jae2 (Aug 14, 2006 1:26 pm) luvmbooty (Aug 14, 2006 8:13 pm) jae2 (Aug 14, 2006 8:58 pm)
#350 of 678 2006 Legacy Sedan Ltd by raven13 Jul 02, 2006 (4:36 pm)
Just purchased an 06 Subaru Legacy Sedan Ltd. Extra accessories: - Rear Spoiler - Auto Dim mirror with homelink and compass - Armrest extension - off black   MSRP: $26,732 Price paid: $21,798 + TTL dealer document fees - $79 Got the 2.9% APR for 36 months.   I think this is a pretty decent deal for such a wonderful car. I hope this will last for a loooong time without too many problems.
#351 of 678 congratulations by jeffmc Jul 02, 2006 (6:44 pm)
Congrats to raven and jskho! These really are wonderful cars. My '06 SE sedan feels like I'm driving something much more expensive, and feels about 10 years more advanced than my '04 Outback, which I like very much.   Check out the "Subaru Crew Cafe - Meet the Members II" forum, where Subaru owners can introduce themselves to each other.

What do people think about the Passat? What's the best deal one can expect to pay? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jul 03, 2006 3:33 am) yogiowner (Jul 03, 2006 9:13 am)

Replying to: jskho (Jun 22, 2006 8:07 am) I live in Toronto. I don't do trade-ins - sold the old one for twice the trade-in through Autotrader (always do it that way or craig's list)- then the deal is simple. I'll bet the dealer in Bellingham has sold plenty to Canadians. In fact, there is a dealer in Oakville On who sells Subarus from the US (he's on autotrader - his price is $3000 less than in Canada and $5000 more than if you do it yourslef in the US). I bought a 2006 Legacy i-LTD in Buffalo for a about 30% less tyhan in Canada(check the price at kbb.com and edmunds.com). The warranty crosses the border (just ask Subaru Canada and US) - I confirmed this when I had warranty work done in Canada with no problem. The registrar of imported vehicles gives step by step directions (http://www.riv.ca/english/html/how_to_import.html). The main thing to get clear is that US entry point requires that the title be faxed three full business days ahead of entry and they are only open during business hours. They clear the car for export and mark it on the title. You can drive in Canada with no plates (I got a temp NY plate) until you complete the provincial stuff (after the RIV inspection at Canadian Tire) . The US models are completely acceptable for Transport Canada requirements (Daytime running lights, km/hr notations, French language on airbags). The import fee is $206 and there is no duty as the car is made in Indiana. You can get it for $500 over invoice less rebates and no US tax. Freight is included and there is no PDI fee. If you buy it in Canada the best I could find is $700 over invoice and no rebates. The difference is about 8k on the i-Ltd. There are differences in the features per model and colour schemes so shop carefully. A helpful salesman in the US is necessary. The "no recalls" letter can come from the dealer if its a new car, otherwise Subaru America writes it. Replies to this message: notecedar (Aug 30, 2006 6:54 am)
#356 of 678 Buy a new 2.5i Limited Wagon by rbundy Jul 12, 2006 (8:14 am)
Quick question for you guys. I am looking at buying my first Subaru. I have priced out the 2.5i Limited wagon from a couple of dealers here in the Columbus,OH area and have gotten them down to Invoice - the $1500 rebate. Is invoice still a good deal, or are dealers willing to go below invoice these days. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
