We chat.   Seriously, we talk about everything, from food to cars, beer, hockey, auto industry stuff, etc.   I missed it yesterday but there were 32 people there.   -juice

Replying to: occking (Mar 17, 2005 3:07 pm) I believe that the maximum that can be applied to a new purchase or lease is $2000. If you had a separate card with your wife as the cardholder, I don't see why coupons earned with that card couldn't be used for maintainance, repairs, parts, extended warranties.   Since our daycare center started accepting credit cards in September, we're going to get our fifth coupon about four months before our anniversary date with Chase. My wife has an additional card on my account and I'd like to reverse the situation to get above $500 in coupons if it's possible.   BTW, the Citi Dividend card pays 5% for groceries and gas purchases.

Whoa Nellie...that turbo is causing a head rush! Not turbo lag - mind lag. I paid $27,500 AFTER the downpayment...actually, more like $29,500 all told.   Sorry for the Newbie excitment. [Beathe in....breathe out...breathe in....]

Demand varies a lot by region. You'll pay more in Colorado or Vermont than you will here in MD, for instance.   -juice
#468 of 2234 Newbie Subie Correction Correction by csr1 Mar 19, 2005 (6:06 am)
NO...Checked the bill - I DID pay $27,500 total. I take it that that's a pretty good deal? Ed Shultz Auto Group with dealerships from Pittsburgh, PA to Buffalo, NY. Got it for $300 over invoice minus a little for haggling. $300 over invoice is a policy if you make contract with a salesman through their webpage.   Terrific car! Can't wait for more snow.   CSR1

Replying to: dcab (Mar 18, 2005 10:25 am) That's my plan. In three months I have earned just about $100. Also supposed to get free $25 in Subaru bucks for applying for the card in the first place. Even though I got free oil changes for one year (and, i put on the miles--average between 32 and 35,000 miles per year and always change oil every 3000 miles or so. Figure I will use the bucks for other maintenance. When is the first expensive maintenance required? Is that at 30,000 miles? I normally might not perform that service exactly when due, but if I have plenty of the Subaru bucks than why not. Plus, still not sure on the warranty. Got a good deal on the extended warranty when I bought the car. 5 years 100,000 mile, -0- deductible for $899. I am good about oil changes but not sure how closely you have to follow recommended maintenance so as to not void this warranty.

Replying to: occking (Mar 19, 2005 4:36 pm) SubaruBucks are great. We had $3100 in Bucks when we bought my wife's 2003 Forester in the summer of 2002 (the old card paid 5% and had a max of $700/year but it was only for a new purchase or lease) and have $1200 toward my next Outback after using two coupons for 30K service on the Forester.

Replying to: dcab (Mar 19, 2005 4:56 pm) Curious, What did the 30k service cost you? Is all the stuff they do really necessary? Is it true that the plugs, unlike most cars today do not go 100k miles? I have outback 2.5 i ltd so I imagine service on this vehicle should be a bout the same.   Just got my 3rd statement today, up to $99. My first statement only had $3 on it as I just gotten the card right before the end of the billing cycle. so $96 really in just two months. That is why I have applied for another card for my wife. Found out many of the utility companies in this area (Southeastern, MA) like Comcast & Verizon take credit card payment. Even Mass Electric is running some pilot programs in which payment can be made by credit card. I hope to earn enough for two cards to not only pay for all of the maintenance for the next few years but also to save the maximum 2000 bucks when I replace my wife's car in two years. Actually, will give her my outback which in 2.5 years will have approx 75k miles on it, but still 2.5 years and 25,000 miles to go on extended warranty I purchased. Maybe trade in her old van & get one of those Tribeca's or whatever larger vehicle Subaru has to offer for 2008. Replies to this message: dcab (Mar 20, 2005 10:48 am)
