Subaru's color selections are dreadful
 
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.

Yeah, I'm just not a fan of the colors. I mean, sure, I love the Obsidian Black Pearl, but there's nothing that catches my eye.
 
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.

Forester has a nice red, but that attracts cops so we ruled it out.
 
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.

Holdbacks? by pilot1226

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?

I thought it was something like 2%? IIRC...
 
Even on a $20k car that's only about $400, so not too much wiggle room below invoice.

Make sure they're including the cash back in their "invoice" price and as I've said before, check out pricing on fitzmall.com (no affiliation with them), which seems to have the lowest published figures of any dealer I've seen. When I bought my Legacy in January, no salesperson would give up any of the holdback. Times are tougher now.

Congrats! That sounds like a great deal, about $750 less than I paid for a cash deal. Good luck. You'll find it's a great car for the money.

I know they're 17" but I don't have time at the moment to go out and check the exact size. It's probably listed on the specs at subaru.com. The standard Yokohama Advans are $150 tires, so make sure the dealer offer doesn't include Brand X replacements worth a fraction of the price. Also, I believe these tires have pretty good treadwear, so you may only get one free set within the first 100,000 miles. It might be better to swap the tire deal for more cash back up front.
 
Some people don't like the Yokos, but I think they're fine. I also think it's pretty impressive for Subaru to include such a pricey tire as standard equipment -- another sign of the car's bang for the buck.

Well, there's really no cash back as of yet for the `09's because they are still peddling the `08's. I'll make sure they're including all the numbers.
 
They've itemized Doc fees, titling fees, registration fees, etc. Kind of a nice breath of fresh air to get honesty from a car salesman.
