#545 of 601 Finance by oppamen Dec 17, 2007 (1:39 am)
Im planning on doing a 5 year finance on my car. They told me if im tier 1 then Id get a rate of 5.9%. Is there anyway i can get that lowered? I know they are offering 2.9% for 2 years. Im asking this because when my friends bought a car from Nissan, they first offered him 6.9% then when he tried to walk out they made a deal. They told him if he buys the warranty plan then they'll lower his rate down to 2.9%. So they took the rate and got his car. Will Subaru lower their rate if I buy the warranty or is there another way of going around it without buying the warranty.   I got a email from 1 dealership about 0% financing for just 1 week. It didnt say exactly which car they were offering that to. I know Outback has 0% financing for 2 years. Im planning on going to that dealership and see if thats true for the Legacy.

#546 of 601 Warranty by oppamen Dec 17, 2007 (1:42 am)
Do you guys think getting the warranty is worth it? Can someone tell me some of the warranty plans they offer? I know theres couple different plans and Im not sure what those are. Im also thinking about getting the undercarrage protection and paint protection. Not sure how much those go for either. Thank you Replies to this message: cptplt (Dec 19, 2007 10:25 pm) ateixeira (Dec 20, 2007 9:53 am) jeffmc (Dec 21, 2007 1:04 pm)

Replying to: oppamen (Dec 17, 2007 1:42 am) undercarriage protection, paint etc is totally worthless   extended warranties may be worth it. I got my money back on my 98 legacy GT (a/c almost completely replaced, oil leak fixed and they thew in the timing belt for free , 2 power antennas), jury still out on my 02 WRX - new struts and ball joint; and it was really worth it on a Windstar and Venture- trannies (x2 on the Windstar!) , engine gaskets and a bunch of other stuff! On a Subaru its more of a gamble but if you plan on keeping it a long time and are OCD about stuff going wrong its probably worth it. just don't pay list price!

Replying to: oppamen (Dec 17, 2007 1:42 am) If you go for the extended warranty (and assuming you do a normal amount of driving), I'd recommend the 7 years/100k miles warranty to get any significant amount of coverage after the factory warranty expires. It's more expensive, but with some of the shorter plans, you just don't get that much beyond the standard warranty's coverage.
#550 of 601 2008 SUBARU LEGACY LTD 2.5i SEDAN (vdc) by newcarbuyer7 Dec 21, 2007 (1:16 pm)
I got this price quote from Subaru of Thousand Oaks (CA):   2008 SUBARU LEGACY LTD 2.5i SEDAN (vdc) DEEP BRONZE METALLIC TAUPE LEATHER SEATS CENTER ARMREST EXTENSION AUTO DIM MIRROR YOUR PRICE $23,199.00 PLUS TAX AND LICENSE MINUS $1,000.00 FACTORY REBATE $22,199.00   Is this a good price? Also, they said that they are going out of business by 12/31/2007 so does this make for hassles down the line? Replies to this message: jeffmc (Dec 21, 2007 1:30 pm)

Replying to: newcarbuyer7 (Dec 21, 2007 1:16 pm) That price is as low as we've seen here, so I'd definitely go for it! I'd don't see any reason for worry about the dealership going out of business as long as you've got somewhere to have it serviced. You may see if they have another dealer they're referring their service dept. business to.   Fantastic price!

Replying to: oppamen (Dec 17, 2007 1:39 am) The supported rate (e.g. 0%, 1.9%, 2.9%, 5.9%) has nothing to do with the purchase of a warranty. Dealers are paid a minimal fee for financing customers using the subsidized programs, hence the Nissan dealer's attempt to tie in the warrany. The supported rates are subsidized by the manufcturer through the captive finance co., in this case Subaru Motors Finance. The rates varies by term, geography, model and are subject to change month-to-month. Programs can end in any given month, but some sort of subsidized retail finance programs are the norm in the industry. December programs are generally very strong as manufacturers attempt to close out the year with maximum sales. Customers must qualify for the best rate based on their credit history. Most customers will qualify for some level of supported rate. Not all will qualify for the best and supported sub-prme programs are rare. Most manufacturer wesites will provide the prevailing programs in specific geographies. Just go to the manufacturer's site ahead of time and be educated before you go into the dealership. They may appear in a manufacturer's advertising. You can't always rely on the F&I manager in a dealership to provide you with the information.

Replying to: oppamen (Dec 17, 2007 1:39 am) To my knowledge, the Subaru financing is through Chase bank. I'd be surprised if they'd cut from 5.9 to 2.9 for FIVE years. On my 03 Forester, I had 3.9 for 5 years and it was a good deal at the time. We paid it off early, but it was nice to have the lower monthly payment, whereas a 2 year term would have been a stretch. Just did 5.9 on the 08 Outback.   Good luck.   Mary

Replying to: simon2 (Dec 14, 2007 5:01 pm) Hello, simon2, I am looking at the same model, but the quotes I got so far are unacceptably high compared with yours, and the lowest quote I got is 22,958+tax+fee. Could you provide me with the dealer information where you bought your legacy limited. Thanks, hostsun
