That's right - I forgot about the $99 processing fee. I also preferred not to go down to Maryland to purchase at fitzmall, but it was nice to have their prices clearly posted on the website to use as leverage in my negotiations locally, but it appears that there is a larger dealer network here to work with. Sounds like you should easily be able to hit your target of fitzmall + $500 max. Good luck.

Congrats on your Outback purchase! It appears that the deals are relatively consistent in many parts of the country. In PA they only stock/sell the PZEV version which brings my MSRP up by $200 to $25,790 and the sale price is $21,099 + doc & tax.

2.5i automatic by fgwh

I am in Maryland. Here is a dealer's price quote for me:
 
Subaru outback 2.5i automatic Model 9DB
 
internet price: $21995(including 2000 rebate)
processing fee: $99
 
2 yrs tags: $128
title fee: $50
tire recycling:$4
lien fee: $20.00
temp tag: 20.00
 
out the door price before taxes: $20316
 
Is it a reasonale price? How much room can I negociate on that? He said some of the fees included may not be applicable so can be adjusted when I go in. What are the fees possible?
 
thanks

I can't follow your math.
 
If the price is, as you say, $21,995 including a $2k rebate, how can your out-the-door price be lower? The $21,995 must not be including the rebate, correct?
 
Looks to me like the only negotiable fees there are the $99 fee, the tire recycling and maybe the lien fees, the others are probably set by the state (title fee, temp tag etc.)... but everything's negotiable, decide what's important to you, ask, and be prepared to walk if you don't get it.
 
It sounds like a good price to me.

You are right. It is before the $2k rebate to calculate the taxes. I used a formula from another website, it is $1k off, that's why I am confused with the price. I also get a quote from another dealer (I like them better). so, maybe I have 100-150 to haggle with them. for your reference, here is the quote. Please tell me your thoughts.
 
Price = $20,092
Rebate = $2000
 Dealer processing fee = $99
Tax = 6% = $1331.46
 
Md. tags, and title = $228
 
Total = $20,092 + $1331.46 + $99 + $228 = $21,750.46

btw ... what's the MSRP on the car? ... over in NoVa the SEs are going for 15-17% under MSRP IIRC. It looks like you're getting around/at least that, maybe a bit more off MSRP than the internet prices here.

on the dealers website the MSRP: $23990 for the 2.5i.
 Also on another dealer's website has internet price for the 9DB posted for $19913 and $19955. The dealer I talked to told me that one is their sister company, the reason why their price is low is because the cars are sitting on the lot for about 8 or 9 months already. Is it true? that means the other dealer had the 2009 car around july, 2008?

Great deal on White Pearl OB 2.5 Limited from Livermore, CA dealer by vin2ride

Approx. $5600 of MSRP=$29600 incl. Homelink mirror and extended arm rest. Got a good quote on a Special Edition, too-- $21,500 but decided to go for all the niceties of the Limited. Note the Limited seems peppier with the 4.44 axle ratio compared to the 4.11 of the 2.5i SE Auto. Very happy with the internet sales manager(Lapon). He had the car detailed and gassed so we were in and out quickly. Deal was negotiated entirely over web. Definitely worth the drive if you are near the SF Bay Area.

2.5 Limited by subarookie

Bought the 2.5 Limited w/ auto-dimming mirror, arm rest ext, and all weather mats.
It is the seacrest green metallic (only color I liked w/ the taupe interior). Wish they still made the greens from a couple of years ago.
 
Sticker Price: $29,412
Paid: 24,405 before tax, title, lic.
 
I requested quotes from 8 dealers through Edmunds. I was willing to drive 150 miles if the price was right. Lucky for me the dealer in town was willing to match the lowest price I was quoted. Other dealers were quoting nearly $1,000 higher and wouldn't budge.
 
This is my first Subaru. Have had Toyota's and a Honda. This was by far the most bang for the buck.

every car has a manufacturer's plate w/ the date (month/year) it was built so you can tell by that. My '01 Audi was on the dealer's lot in May 2000.
