Replying to: mangud (Dec 06, 2007 10:52 am) 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. |

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). |

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.

I am doing Internet pricing and this one dealer has been very responsive, not pushy - two other dealers have been a little aggressive borderline rude so I have not asked them to come back with second prices against this one. Frankly if this price is good I'll probably go with it just to encourage good customer treatment - but if I could save 500 + I'll ask the rude guys to play ball. Outback 2.5 i limited w/VDC and PZEV option = 24,200 We are in the Boston area, if that matters. Planning to buy by end of month. Thanks!!! |

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 11, 2007 7:37 am) Now the monthly payment number becomes closer: $291, though it is still bigger than the quoted one: $279. Do the lease parameters look correct for 3-years/36000 miles lease: Residual value: 56% money factor: 0.0017 ? Thanks in advance. |

Replying to: novice2 (Dec 11, 2007 6:09 am) No, it is exactly invoice. Invoice on the Basic Auto, with no options, is $22,277, so subtract $1500 rebate and you are at $20,777, which is still invoice. |

Replying to: dules (Dec 11, 2007 8:43 am) The other no-haggle dealer I'm familiar with is Van Bortel, in NY. They should have them. Price one and see how it compares to your deal, even ask your dealer to match their price, perhaps. |

Replying to: dules (Dec 12, 2007 9:09 am) I've been quoted $26,500 on Long Island AFTER the $1250 incentive was applied to a 2008 2.5i Limited w/VDC and PZEV and a couple of options (mirror, armrest, mats). I think I can get them down to $25,500 at least, but seeing someone with a $24,200 quote in the Northeast makes me rethink my goal.
