Thank you in advance for all the info and help I could get from all of you. Currently I am in the process of negotiating for my very first new car. I am eyeing on a Quartz Silver 08 Legacy Limited w/ VDC, MSRP $25,784. So far my best quotation from dealers is $22,695 (tax&license no included). I wonder how far more can they go for. Also, I will be financing for the car at 60 months term. Currently I am getting quote for 3.9% interest. Is this something that's negotiable? Are they willing to go down to 2.9%? Please kindly let me know what you think as I am ready to go back and make the final decision. Just do not want to lose a couple hundred dollars because I didn't do research well enough!  Thank you! Hoping to get some answers going!

Replying to: longislander1 (Jul 23, 2008 1:02 pm) I just had some final negotiatoin with the dealer; Finally knocked off a couple hundred bucks and got a final quote at $22,200 (tax & license not included). These seemed like the lowest they can go. So I have asked them to throw in a All-Weather Floormat, and a free cap  So here is what I will be getting: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- MSRP: $25,784 Final Quote: $22,220 (tax & license not included) Finance Interest (60 month): 3.9% Subaru Legacy Limited w/VDC Quartz Silver Arm Rest Extension Auto Dimming Mirror/Compass All Weather Floor Mats A cap (yes, they threw in a cap, which is something you wear on your head :p ) Please let me know what you think about the price. If everything goes well, I will be on my way to dealership tomorrow and sign some papers! Regards, Jae

CD's, while somewhat inflexible with taking the money out, could put you above 4% APR interest. I'm in a similar situation - going to talk final numbers with a dealer Tuesday about the `09 2.5i SE. I plan on putting just a little bit down - which will depend on the interest rate they offer me for financing - and the remainder will go into a 4 separate CD accounts. 1st for months 13-24 2nd for months 25-36 3rd for 37-48 4th for 49-60th. As these CD's mature, I imagine I will lock the remaining 3 in for another year. It's a pain in the butt, but with CD's you generally get higher interest rates anyway so if you're got the money to stash away you can actually make the interest you're paying in a bank.

Replying to: pilot1226 (Jul 24, 2008 9:27 am) Quoted $21,855 (+tax, title, docs) at Wayne Subaru in Wayne, NJ. This sound like a good price? I'm not crazy about financing, was told the best they can do is 4.9% APR. I'd rather just pay it off in full immediately. Subaru's color selections are dreadful. Black is the best "color" they have, haha! Other question is what size tires does the Subaru take? There's another dealer nearby (Bloomfield) that offers free tires for life.

Replying to: pilot1226 (Jul 30, 2008 3:55 am) Typically you can choose from White, Black, and 3 shades of gray/silver inbetween. True for the Forester, at least. Even the blue is silver-ish, and the green is a bit, too. Free tires sounds good if you keep your cars for a long time.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 30, 2008 10:06 am) There's a single shade of blue available for all the 2009's - and it's a bright blue. Where's the navy? The dark greens? The deep red/maroons? Seems like they ditched the old colors I see on Outbacks from earlier this decade in favor of bland shades.

Replying to: pilot1226 (Jul 30, 2008 11:48 am) The black shows scratches. The gray is too dark, it's almost black. The green is a bit light, more a greenish-silver shade. The blue is nice - we bought that. But yeah, no Rally Blue, no deep green, no real flashy colors.

Biggest thing I'm fighting with now is to find out how much dealer holdback is typically for the Legacy Line. I wasn't very impressed with the fact that almost as soon as I was in the dealership, they offered invoice pricing almost immediately. This makes me think that they're hiding something. Granted, I know invoice pricing is so ubiquitous now, I'm sure dealers have rethought their "game" to keep afloat. So, that being said, anyone know what holdback is typically like for a Subaru? |

Replying to: pilot1226 (Jul 30, 2008 5:00 pm) Even on a $20k car that's only about $400, so not too much wiggle room below invoice. |
