You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
So after Bird Rd Subaru showed they cannot be trusted I called William Lehman subaru and at least they were honest enough to tell me up front that they would NOT sell me a car for what I wanted to pay. I think I will just get a Honda CRV. At least the Honda guys are drama free.

Replying to: vrm (Nov 03, 2009 2:31 pm) Just took possession of my factory-ordered 2010 Outback Limited with Nav on Saturday, October 31, 2009. Bought it from Stohlman Automotive (Subaru, VW, Mitsubishi) in Vienna, VA. Honest, reputable dealership, no hassle, got it for $500 below dealer invoice via internet sales and phone negotiations. I did not have a good experience with Sheehy Subaru in Springfield, VA, the first Subaru dealership I dealt with. I was given the run-around by their internet sales manager when I wanted to order my car during clunkers month. He would not give me a bottom-line price even after he called me and said he ordered my car the day C4C officially ended. I told him without numbers, I would have to take my business elsewhere and I did. He never even called to find out why or try to win my business back. I finally saw "my car" on Sheehy's inventory web page at the beginning of October and after a week it passed to Farrish Subaru (who actually called me saying the car had my name on it on the invoice and they tried to sell it to me). After a week at Farrish, it made its way to Beyer Subaru. After a week there, I lost track of it, although, just out of curiosity, I called Beyer Subaru and asked about it and they said it was still in their inventory and didn't know why it wasn't showing up on their web page. I don't know if it was sold or not or shipped to another dealer. Sheehy would have had a done deal - don't know why they did what they did. They probably thought they could sell it and make more money - I guess they couldn't. Stohlman was quick, easy and no pressure even in the finance department. I did not try to bargain for anything else during the sales contract signing process since I had done all my negotiating up front before ordering the car. Plus, they honored a 2 month-old appraisal of $1,000 for my 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan trade-in with a dent on the rear right panel, AC in need of a $2,000+ repair and almost 140,000 miles. Even though KBB gave a quote of $1,500 for a fair condition trade, I didn't think I would get anything for my van, so I was happy with the total deal. If you are going to buy in Northern VA, definitely give Stohlman a chance. Their internet sales department (via e-mails) also guarantees they will beat any deal by $150. All around, a great car-buying experience with them. |

Replying to: rkrat (Nov 03, 2009 3:05 pm) Do you have the remote starter installed on your vehicle? I believe this is a dealer installed option. I need feedback how good or bad this is...

Hello all, I just recently purchased a 3.6 R premium from metric subaru on Long Island. I also got the remote start. All in all I paid 29,500 and I will always recommend the dealership for purchasing and service. As for the car itself, I like it a lot, mostly. Great acceleration, VERY QUIET as compared to my 2004 forester. My quirks with it are the rear defrost is hard to find at night. Im not 100% sold on the electric brake, and why the fixed side mirrors? other than that a pretty decent car.

| Hi - I'm in the process of negotiating an offer on a 2.5i base model w/CVT. Here in the MSRP is 24,990, (but I've seen a lower MSRP in other states). I haven't made an offer, but asked the dealer what their fees are - only fees would be doc fees for $380 (and tax, title, reg). Those fees seem ridiculously inflated to me, my state does not have a cap on these fees. His first offer was 24,660 and 2500-3000 for my trade in ('02 Forester L, manual trans 96K miles.) This doesn't sound anywhere close to where I want to be. I can't go down to PA, VA, MD like a previous poster suggested. Any advice? Comments on the doc fees? | |
