It doesn't exist - they invented it.
 
I read from a lot recent posts that folks are giving credence to dealer statements and numbers. You won't get a deal that way.
 
Do your research, check your numbers, read the forums and be aggressive. They expect it. Just understand, they will take every possible dollar from you. It's the American way, there is nothing wrong with it, it's their job and they are very good at it. But you want a good deal right? otherwise why post here.
So check back through this forum. There is some good empirical pricing information in previous posts, mine included.
 
Benchmark ad unit price Update:
Outback 9DG LTD less than 23k
Outback 9DD SE less than 20k.
As you can see, these advertised prices are way below invoice.
There is no MAAP

Supposedly the $2K cashback on Outbacks ended yesterday.
Does anyone know if they are continuing this?

 
Sure they will. They have hundreds of 09's they have to sell pronto.
A new incentive will be along in a while.
 
Using the expired 2k cashback number, your quote was about $2500 too much.

Wow, I have not begun haggling, but you really think I can get an Outback 2.5i for under $17K?
 
The $19K price i was seeing was already a few grand below invoice!

Wait for the new incentive to appear.
I see you are located in NW. Who were you talking to?
There was an 09 Outback Basic 2.5i advertised for less than 17k recently at Carr Subaru Beaverton. Also check Hannah's ads.
Click on my user name for a list of previous posts - that info is in there somewhere.

Wow, interesting. I will try to push for those prices. I talked to Royal Moore (who made it out like I was a fool for not buying at $20K). And so I emailed some other local dealers. Carr currently has a quote to me for $19.1K. The others (like Gresham) are still in the mid-to-high $19's.

This rebate ended yesterday, but they apparently renewed the offer so they are still on for '09 Outbacks. This is what I heard from a couple of dealers.

They are testing you. Don't bite.
RM is an awful dealership. They lied to me continuously even when I proved them wrong. They don't care.
Gresham and Wentworth are in market denial.
Hannah is hard core, but they will deal if you know your stuff.
Carr is probably your best bet if you can stand the pressure.
Let me know if I can help you further.

An email from SOA today:
 
Thank you for your recent e-mail to Subaru of America, Inc. We appreciate you taking the time to contact us.
 
I received the June 2009 incentives this morning and the incentive offers on the 2009 Outback for the month of June are the same as those we offered in May.

Outback 9DD SE less than 20k.
 
I've been shooting for this price (with CA taxes I'd be happy with 21.5-22k OTD) but no one will budge from $20,600 after rebate = $23k OTD.
 
I'm getting stories like:
 
"The time for the best deals has passed. Production has stopped. The 09's are in short supply. If anything, the price will go up."
 
"We're going to hang on to our 09's since they'll be getting rare as we sell out."
 
Wow. Are these guys living in the same country? The same planet? Do they realize they work in the auto industry? Have they seen the numbers?
 
I'm in the SF Bay Area, and I personally know four people laid off from high-paying tech jobs in the past 5 months (and four others who barely escaped). Not to mention the forthcoming waves of state employee layoffs and foreclosures.
 
I've been negotiating mostly via email, and some phone. Do I need to go in and wave the cash around? I was hoping the internet could spare me the face to face.
 
Sorry for the rant. I know I have the right price from this forum. Any tips/advice for dealing with unreasonable salesmen would be appreciated...
