2005 Legacy 2.5i Limited Wagon by glenford

Bought mine.
 
Got two quotes, one for invoice (and pick my options at invoice - any car), one for $250 less - generally same terms. Very few options - NY emissions, auto-dim mirror, trunk tray, some cargo nets... No roof racks, all weather mats, armrest extenders...
 
Got the first guy to give me a price on 4 mounted snows - came in $100 less than Tire Rack (delivered) for identical choices - to close some of the gap. Wanted to do business with that dealer (because of service experiences with the other one). Makes it look like $100 under invoice to me.
 
$25749 + the tires/wheels $590 + actual registration costs (no fee)
 
Probably could have done a bit better, but acceptable. Kingston (my last buy)/Rhinebeck (this buy) NY area, where AWD is popular. Both sales experiences well handled.
 
Delivery in a week (I can't get back before that). Tim

Good for you for looking at the big picture. In the long run you'll be happier, vs. having saved less than 1% and giving your business to a dealership you didn't like.
 
Congrats.

I think so too.
 
... and, it only takes one bad service (wrong fix, something else broken, etc) to make up the money difference.

And it's how I purchased my F-XT last May, using the IMBA VIP program.

The rest of the story... by glenford

from my post 495 (which, sorry, was in the wrong forum, but some Legacy/Outback forums are combined, some are not)...
 
After choosing service reputation over price in our buy, my wife took our current Subaru (96 Legacy LSi) in for its final service at the "wrong" dealer. They tried to do an induction service, which was just done 12K miles ago when we were having trouble, and a couple of other things that had been done as part of a long service saga. Service people said, "well, it's an every 20K interval, 12K is close enough..." (more, blah, blah, blah) She saved over $100 by calling them on the duplications (what a woman!).
 
I think we just closed the gap between the two price offers. It just reinforces the decision that price is not all. Tim

"Received offer from the dealer at $22,695 for the 2.5i. From what i see, this is a pretty good price. Has anyone gotten this car at this price or lower? Not sure how much haggle room there might be left or if i should even bother.
  
Hoping this will be the perfect family awd vehicle for the NH area"
 
Almost the exact price (including doc fee) as the best quote I've been offered here in CT on a 2.5i, automatic, with autodim/compasss mirror only option.

Am in the market for a 2005 LL Bean (could do without the Bean part) but need 3.0 in leather due to hairy German Shepherd.
 
Getting quotes of $28,000 before negotiating which seems pretty decent. Anyone bought one recently?

push another $500 if you can.
