Here is an example of the crap we get in NJ, this is from a supposed Internet Sales Manager......... Due to the competitive environment and lack of inventory that the entire region is suffering from, we are giving out price's only to people coming to the dealership. Although it may be a minor inconvenience to our customers, from our recent and past experience, it's a complete waste of time to talk about something that could feasibly be 12 weeks ago. Due to Subaru's ever changing factory programs, and the high demand for these vehicle's, to be honest, the price today to 12 weeks from now, could very well differ by THOUSANDS of dollars. We will be as competitive as any other dealer, but we need to put pen to paper and get everything in order first. There are certain criteria that need to be justified and unfortunately communicating via e-mail doesn't always cover all the bases. Rather than mislead you, we would rather deal face to face to show our honesty and our sincerity in these matters. Would you bother with these guys, I was there they had their chance. |

Just picked up my new OB tonight. I ordered it 3 weeks ago and it came in well ahead of the original 6-8 week lead time thanks to my dealer. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience at my dealer, Rafferty Subaru in Newtown Square, PA.  It seriously has been the best car buying experience to date. Here are the details: 2010 OB 2.5i Limited in Azurite Blue w/ Auto-dimming mirror w/compass Sirius satellite radio Media hub (for ipod) Wheel arch moldings Rear bumper cover Splash guards Interior illumination kit PZEV Zero Emissions Total MSRP: $30,638 (includes $695 destination charge) Paid Invoice (VIP Pricing): $28,659 Added 6 year, 100k mile Gold Plus Warranty: $1500 Trade-In 2005 Xterra (high miles): $8100 PA Sales Tax: $1323.54 Registration: $48.50 Doc Fee: $100 Total Sale Price: $23,532.04 (trade already factored in this amount) Paid cash for part of it, financed $12,500  3.9% for 60 months = $230/mo. I was literally in the dealer for maybe 40 minutes total tonight to complete the paperwork, etc. It was a smooth transaction, no gimmicks, no games...the way car buying should be! If you are in the NJ, NY, MD, DE, PA or even farther out... I highly recommend this dealer. Ask for "Skip" or Kevin - tell them Noelle sent you. I'll post more in a week or so to let you know how much I am loving my new OB  . I already got the bluetooth set up (super easy) and love the media hub, just so nice to listen to my ipod through the fabulous stereo! The ride home was great even in the cold rain

Replying to: sweetsoul (Nov 12, 2009 10:30 am) Take a look at this car Outback Premium CVT http://www.raffertysubaru.com/new-inventory/2010-Subaru-Outback/167013a47f000001- 01b4b415cd6679f6.htm They have added a few things: Convenience & Protection Group 1A (PIO) - $572 Includes: [P0E] Splash Guards (PIO) And [Q0I] Wheel Arch Moldings (PIO) Auto-Dimming Mirror-Compass (PIO) - $186 Automatic operation rear view mirror; Compass If you take the base price for OB with CVT of $25 990 (destination included) and add the extra options the total should be $26 748. They are charging extra $300. I have called and questioned they refused to comment. This is a tricky way to make some money. Be careful.

Replying to: britgeezer (Nov 11, 2009 6:20 pm) The challenge we have been facing is Subaru has more demand than supply. Since Cash for Clunkers our active inventory went from an average of 150 active cars a month to about 30 and that is the case with every New England dealer. On top of it Subaru came out with a whole new Outback and Legacy for 2010 and it has been explosive in the demand for the vehicle especially since it was named vehicle of the year by Motor Trend. Right now in New England there is a total of about 10 - 2010 Outbacks with the 3.6R engine and everything else is in shipment. We have recieved a few into stock since it came out and we sold them for msrp. The advantage of an order is we can show some flexability because we will never have to stock it into inventory and have it on the lot. As far as Internet pricing offered by consumer sites there information comes third party so it does not always if ever reflect regional prices and the built in destinaton charge in the invoice. So as simple as it can be I can get the vehicle you want it will just require alittle flexability based on time. If the vehicle is already made and getting ready for transit we can have it allocated to us we just won't know until we put in the official sold request. I can probably get you close to Invoice on the car doing it this way and we do have a Dealer Documantery charge of $296 that is additional. A little confusing as he states that people are paying MSRP but in the end I'll be lucky to pay (a little over) invoice...plus their fees. Not sure how to proceed!
