Another one from Colorado looking to buy a Subary LLB with Nav/VDC/Leather. Live close to Flatirons Subaru and Valley Subaru
is not that far either. I saw some negative experience posts about
Flatirons and positive references to Valley Subaru.
 
If I could help it, I would like to buy it either Flatirons or Valley.
 
Want to hear recent Flatirons or Valley buying experience.
 
Will the incentives and rebates on Subaru get any better ? They had
much better incentives & rebates last year.
 
Thanks,
MG

I bought a '08 Outback LTD from Valley ( over the internet ) the end of October. The deal I got was good and the delivery problems I had were handled to my satisfaction.
They also gave me a good trade on my '05 Outback. G.M's name is Bob Taylor.

They did? I bought a Subaru last year and my memory tells me exactly the opposite. This time last year, rebate was $750... this year? Double that and 2.9% financing.

I think it depends on which Subaru. the Outback XT for example is only $750, not $1500 rebate.
 
As for Valley Subaru, I have had mixed results. I tried to get quotes from them, and they would email me daily with different pricing, but never give me everything I needed as far as a complete selling price, residual, mf, etc. on a lease.
 
Then, after sending email saying (the cliche) "sell regardelss of profit", I wrote back and said 'let's talk'. Heard nothing. May call the Sales manager mentioned above as I too have heaard good things about Valley.
 
GO on the other hand, was also quite aggressive at first but I've found GO to be just like all the other dealers: They do NOT want to talk numbers other than your monthly. I don't like dealing with people like that.

I'd call Bob Taylor the GM. He is the only one that handled my issues. None of them at Valley respond to voicemail so talk to him directly!
 
I don't know if it will help but you can tell him you got his name from Larry in New Mexico. By the way... I love the car !

That's true - the $1500 does exclude the XT. I checked Edmunds yesterday and the incentive for December is back to $1500 or 2.9% financing. Again, not for XT - I did not check that one.

I'm sorry I haven't looked at this forum thread sooner.
 
Valley vs. Flatirons. It's interesting because when I was looking for an Outback Limited in the Denver area, I contacted EVERY dealership first through Edmunds "Get Dealer Quotes" and through subaru.com.
 
I wanted the best deal, as I had no loyalty to anyone.
 
From that experience, Valley Subaru in Longmont, was the clear-cut winner. Specifically their internet sales manager, was the first to respond, the first to provide ACCURATE and the LOWEST pricing, and ultimately where I purchased the vehicle EXACTLY as discussed before I went to the the showroom. There were no surprises, no hidden nothing. While other dealers were sending me redundant e-mails about what model and color I wanted - Valley gave me pricing including tax. I paid exactly what they told me before I came - and it was the lowest of all the dealers on the front range.
 
I really thought Flatirons was going to be the winner... but they honestly weren't even in the ballpark... poor response and their pricing was significantly higher than Valley. In fact, I had called the Sales Manager Flatirons to convey my disappointment - he apologized, but offered to do nothing.
 
Hope this information helps. I write this because my history with purchasing used to be horrible... I used to get so emotionally attached to a vehicle, that I would "give in"... now I know better - and the internet makes the process VERY simple. Good luck - share your decision w/ this forum.

My experience was completely the opposite. The pricing from Valley was accurate within a dollar, when I asked for pricing including sales tax - they sent it to me immediately.
 
GO Subaru on the other hand was horrible... I gave them the exact same specifications as I gave Valley... GO Subaru kept coming back with "what model, color and options do you want". It was horrible.... 2 months after I made the purchase from Valley, I was still getting e-mails from Go Subaru, after numerous responses that said I was done w/ the buying process. When I finally got pricing, it was signficantly higher than Valley (apples to apples).

Lease Basic Outback by novice2

We are thinking about leasing 2008 basic OutBack and so far I cannot get together the numbers.
Here is what the dealer is telling me for 3-year/ 36,000 miles lease:
$20,777 - price after $1,500 rebate
56% - residual value
0.0017 - money factor
$279 - monthly payment
 
My questions are:
1. Are residual value and money factor relatively fair for this lease?
2. My calculations of monthly payment give me
(20777-0.56*20777)/36. = 253.94
(20777+0.56*20777)*0.0017=55.10
Total payment = $308.04,
which is $29 more than he is telling me.
 
Why is he is undercharging me? And the price of 20,777 for basic with auto transmission is ynder invoice, isn't it?
So where is the catch? Are they getting a huge dealer rebate or something?
I would appreciate if carman explain this situation to me.

Multiply your residual percentage by the MSRP, not the selling price., then subtract that number from your selling price to determine total depreciation... then, divide by the monthly term.
