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.

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.

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

Hi, folks,
I am searching for a this model, and make my offer ($21,000 + tax + title and doc.) to a dealer, but I was told this offer was not realistic. I am wondering what price other folks paid for this model.
Thanks,
hotsun

This is for the sedan? Looks like invoice is 22,890, MSRP close to 25K.
I got an outback 2.5i limited w/vdc for 23,499 and feel like I got a really good deal.
Where you are located may make a difference...I am in New England.
GL!

Hmm I didn't realize there was a 2.5i Limited. Thought that the "Limited" was only applied ot the LGT vehicle.

Mine was an Outback (2.5i Ltd w/vdc) and included destination, but not tax (5% MA) or doc (approx 200 for registration, plates, etc.).
