discrepancies for MSRP? by macdougal28

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?

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

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.

My dealership experiences by curve

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!

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.

Purchase of 2010 2.5i Limited Outback by ncdude

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.

What price should I be looking to get for a 3.6R Limited by hlt1634

I am looking to purchase a 2010 3.6Limited Outback. One dealer is offering it at their invoice price. Originally it was 700.00 over invoice. Is this a good deal? I have never owned a subie before, but this seems like a pretty nice SUV.

hlt1634 getting a new OB at invoice is a great deal! There are some on this forum that are drooling with jealousy right now. At most, you may be able to squeeze out a few hundred dollars - you could try, but from what I have seen on here... invoice is a really great price. Make sure you have a clear understanding of any additional fees, such as doc fees because these can vary dramatically. Best of luck with your new suby!

I'm looking for a 2010 OB 3.6R Limited + Moonroof (WIL interior) and black exterior - in NJ.
 
I would bite the hand the hand off of an offer at invoice. But I would also check the added costs. Which state are you in?

I hear the 3.6Limiteds may be in short supply, but I would still try for at least a couple hundred off invoice. Watch out for all the add-on fees!
