I emailed Subaru and was told, "Our records do indicate that you purchased a 3 year/45,000 mile Subaru Added Security Classic Plan with a $100 deductible for your Outback." I want to elaborate on something though; Whether I paid $260.00 or $2.60 is not the issue. What bothers me, is that it's looking more and more like I've been lied to by the salesman. According to the agreement, it is 100% refundable within the first 60 days. BUT, if I'm to believe "it's a gift," I'm probably not going to ask for a refund, (or so the salesman no doubt would think.) I was also lied to about "everyone who buys a new Outback gets this "gift." I just caught my salesman trying to pull another sleazy thing over on me but I won't get into that. Thanks for the reply!

What they really want is your service dollars. They don't make money on new car sales, so they make it on service instead. Enough that's it worth trying to secure your business by offering this "warranty". |

I've been corresponding with Subaru and I did indeed pay for this Added Security agreement from. It is NOT a dealer thing and is from Subaru. They faxed me a copy of the application that I supposedly filled out and it's been added to my financing. (This was done AFTER the paperwork was completed and AFTER I left the dealership. All I can say, is the "you know what" is going to hit the fan, REALLY BIG, very soon!

I am in WI, and was looking for 2.5i outback auto. Up front, I was offered invoice - $250 (half of the holdback as they told us) - $1500 rebate + $99 service fee + tax + title + 0% APR for 2 years (if qualified). The car we were interested was about $24000 (invoice), so the before tax and fees price was about $22250. After some haggling and told them we were buying today, they agreed to give us all of the hold back which was $498, and that brought the price down to about $22000 before tax and fees. We offered back $21500, and they rejected. We tried to walk out of the door, expecting they would stop us, but they let us go. So the deal did not go through. I guess $500 below invoice is pretty close to their bottom line (that is before the rebate, tax and fees). Now I am not sure if I want to go back. If so, they will probably hold very tight onto the $22000. |

Replying to: rickyriver (Dec 21, 2007 9:36 am) $21,500 is dirt cheap; if they can sell it to you for that and not at a loss, they would likely need to be a volume dealership that receives additional incentives from Subaru. I am all for tough negotiations - I do it too. But, if you want those negotiations to be fruitful, you have to go into it with the understanding that you want a good car at a great price, but you have to work within the constraints of the product to get there. One way to get an additional discount on the car is to use Subaru Bucks from a Subaru Chase Mastercard, if you have them.
