Replying to: xwesx (Nov 05, 2009 2:26 pm) I can't find one that doesn't.   But...didn't matter, I shopped out-the-door price, fees included.
#2093 of 2273 Re: 2010 Outback - Maryland, Virginia or West Virginia [vrm] by rkrat Nov 05, 2009 (3:12 pm)
Replying to: vrm (Nov 04, 2009 6:59 pm) VRM,   Thanks. Yes, I did get the remote engine starter along with the moonroof and nav, puddle lights, rearview mirror with Homelink, all the cargo nets, security sensor upgrade, XM satellite radio and protection package to include wheel locks, rear bumper cover, splash guards, wheel arch moldings, and all-weather mats.   I have only tried the remote engine starter once this week since getting my car. Once you unlock the car the engine will stop and you need to use the key to start the ignition again. I think it is more for warming the car in winter or cooling it in summer than anything else. I usually drive from my garage at home to my garage at work and back home again, only stopping off to buy groceries, so I don't know how often I will really use the remote engine starter.   I have never had all these goodies in a vehicle so I got a lot of stuff - probably more than what I need or will use on a regular basis. I will know better with my next new vehicle purchase - probably 10 years from now!.   I have not yet had the chance to read through all my documentation to figure out how to set everything up and how it all works but I'm sure once I do, I will use everything more regularly.

Replying to: rkrat (Nov 03, 2009 3:05 pm) Stolhman treated us good. Bought my first new Subaru from Doris in 1987. It was a Champagne GL10 Turbo with all the power options including SR, air suspension where you could raise the car on demand by several inches. $18197 less $2837 "special concession" for total of $15360. Owned it for almost 7 years. Still buying Subs. Still have the stickers and invoices... lol. Replies to this message: morin2 (Nov 05, 2009 7:56 pm)

Replying to: surrfurtom (Nov 05, 2009 6:02 pm) As for MD dealers, we have bought "his & her's" Subarus from both Fitzmall at White Flint (my 09 Outback) and Heritage Subaru in Owings Mills (her 07 Forester). Perfectly satisfied with the sales experiences at both places.
#2096 of 2273 discrepancies for MSRP? by macdougal28 Nov 06, 2009 (7:32 am)
Still trying to figure out what my offer will be, but as I do my research I notice most web sites like autotrader, edmunds, etc. list the base 2.5i w/CVT for MSRP of 23,990 (the manual trans. is 22,990). So why in New England is the MSRP $1000 higher on both, with the 2.5i base w/CVT 24,990? Should I be considering this profit to the dealer and figuring that into my offer?

Replying to: macdougal28 (Nov 06, 2009 7:32 am) Hi macdougal28 - if you go on subaru.com to build the 2.5i basic w/CVT it shows the MSRP as follows: $22,995 Base MSRP, plus $1000 for CVT tranny, plus $695 for delivery = MSRP of $24,690. Here's the kicker... some states require you to have the PZEV Zero Emissions engine which is another upcharge to MSRP, and I bet Maine is one of those states. I could not find the upcharge on subaru's site, but on Edmunds they have it listed as $300 MSRP - this brings the total MSRP to $24,990. I am only aware of this because PA also requires you to have PZEV as well so it was on my recent order . So $24,990 sounds accurate. I noticed on edmunds that the invoice of the PZEV is actually higher than the MSRP - so don't factor them taking any money off this required add on.   I hope that helps clear it up for you. Good luck again, please let us know how you make out. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that you can make a deal you are ultimately happy with Replies to this message: macdougal28 (Nov 06, 2009 8:54 am) xwesx (Nov 06, 2009 9:58 am)

Replying to: sweetsoul (Nov 06, 2009 8:21 am) Very helpful info, indeed. I have noticed that ALL the subarus I see drive by have PVEZ on them. So I'm sure Maine requires it. I will definitely post about my negotiation and buying experience.
#2099 of 2273 My dealership experiences by curve Nov 06, 2009 (9:17 am)
I emailed several dealerships in the MA area for a 3.6R Premium with audio upgrade. A few replied that there were no 3.6 in the New England area. Puzzling to say the least as Manchester, NH has three of them. I called to verify if they were available and they still are. Next a couple of dealers suggested I order one or try the 2.5 instead. One of them suggested a price of around $30k as "realistic." The MSRP is $30,685 and the invoice is $28,757. That is profit close to $2k! (including holdback) I replied that many are getting invoice price...I thought buying through the internet was supposed to be easier than showing up!
#2100 of 2273 Re: discrepancies for MSRP? [sweetsoul] by xwesx Nov 06, 2009 (9:58 am)
Replying to: sweetsoul (Nov 06, 2009 8:21 am) Great post and good point about the PZEV. That one is an oddity because invoice is $308 versus MSRP of $300. I purchased my car at $300 under invoice, told my dealer exactly how I wanted it ordered (which included PZEV), and I paid $308 for that option. Because we started the discussions with everything at invoice, I wasn't going to argue the point.
#2101 of 2273 Purchase of 2010 2.5i Limited Outback by ncdude Nov 06, 2009 (8:04 pm)
Today I went to either purchase or order an Outback from Huff Subaru in Wytheville, Va. I had been dealing with the internet manager who suggested I order since I didn't see anything in their inventory which I liked. A day or so ago I was informed that they now had one in stock like I wanted so I would not have to order. Immediately, I thought I was about to be the target of the old "bait and switch" technique. To my surprise, the car at the dealership had more options than I originally wanted, but they honored my original deal!!. There was no hassle, no outrageous add-ons, no pressure. It was the most pleasant car-buying experience I have ever had, and I came out of the dealership without having the feeling I had been" raped and pillaged". This dealership apparently wants to sell Subarus and they are not afraid to deal. So, if you live in nw-NC,ne-TN,sw--VA or southern WVa and are in the market for a Subaru, I suggest you contact them.
