VIP program vs negotiating by tibbons
Feb 19, 2005 (9:25 am)
Reply
I am a VIP member through the ACA. Am I better off negotiating a price on my own? Some buyers here say they are getting a few hundred dollars off the invoice price. If I use the VIP program, aren't I only getting the invoice price plus tax/title? Can you negotiate the dollar amount when using the VIP program?
 
Thanks!

VIP price is invoice (some areas have advertising fee on invoice) minus any dealer or customer incentives.
 
With VIP, it's a quick stress free transaction. It's up to you if it's worth the hassle to same a few more dollars.

2.5i Outback (Automatic) price quote by gmode71

I just received a quote on an automatic 2.5i Outback with auto-dimming compass mirror, rear cargo net, rear gate bar, and all-weather floor mats for $24,240 (according to the dealer in NY this is $300 below invoice price).
I was hoping for a price closer to $23,000, based on reading some of your messages. Please share with me any NY area price information you have received or strategies to assist me with getting a lower price.
Has anyone used fightingchance.com for pricing information and strategies, and if so what was your experience/what information did you get?
 
Thanks!

Just purchased an '05 LL Bean with Cargo nets, armrest extension for $29801 before taxes, title etc. Invoice was $30600. Negotiated with the internet sales manager. Bought from Grand Prix Subaru in Hicksville. Just watch out for the big press sales pitch at the end. Also make sure of your numbers. Found 2 "mistakes" that the finance guy didn't understand how they got there. Make copies of every e-mail correspondence. Metric in Huntington has no pressure sales but price is over invoice.

BOUGHT A 2005 2.5i AUTOMATIC OUTBACK TODAY! by walterw1

I bought a 2005 2.5i Outback today, Silver with Black Interior & automatic for $23,200 at Dean Hill Subaru in S.W. New Hampshire. I had a 2000 Outback which I am selling to a friend for $11,500 (60,000 miles) I paid cash. I contacted about 5 dealers, two in person and the rest on the Internet. I posted on and was contacted by the dealer nearest my home and negotiated the sale on the phone with them. I had gotten a much higher price when I visited them than the price I finally got after their internet contact. I refused the etched motor number on all glass for $149, after some difficulty. The car comes with it anyway.Much flimflam but best price I could get.

Subaru's current guaranteed trade-in program expires in Mar 2005. So, i expect cash back in Apr or May 2005.

LL Bean Purchase by donegal

Dealer just offered a price of $29,840 on a 2005 LL Bean that has a sticker price of $33,029. I would be trading in a 2001 LL Bean with 40,000 miles. Trade has new tires. They offered me $16,000 for my trade. Before taxes and docs the outlay would be $13,840. Would this be a fair deal?

1. where are you located at ? did you see subaru gaurantees your trade-in value ? go to soa website
 
2. put your 01 OB LL bean on cars.com & autotrader.com for $40 a piece. See, if you get good private deals.
 
3. Then bargain happily. By the time you sell yours, OB rebates might be here, then you should get 3-4k off sticker easily.
 
4. i suspect there will be rebates on OB in apr, may. their current special (guaranteed trade-in) expires in mar.
