#583 of 1635 Re: Buying in Boston area [drew10] by sweet_subie Jul 07, 2005 (3:28 pm)
Replying to: drew10 (Jul 07, 2005 1:45 pm) Not honest in the sense that they weren;t upfront & giving a price through the net & asking me to come over. they were playing the negotiation game. once i reduce the price on OB XT Ltd, they were offering me just the XT etc etc. I have seen many these in the past. It looks like they are dealing with you differently. Plus my colleague bought from them & negotiated hard & got a good deal on demo. So, that's why i said if you are a tough negotiator, you will get a good deal.   Did you seethe link i sent earlier about Subaru of Milford in NH giving 4k off any legacy or OB. Also, my experience at singer subaru (about 50 miles) from where you are was wonderful.
#584 of 1635 Know of any good VA dealers? by chum Jul 08, 2005 (10:17 am)
I'm looking to buy a 2005 Subaru Outback XT (manual) and live in central VA. I'm not against driving (DC ~2 hours away, Richmond ~1 hour away) to find a good deal and wanted to see if anyone could provide some help on choosing a dealer.   I've contacted a few dealers via email and so far the only one to respond has offered the price:   PRICE: $28,275 (before tax, tags and $250 processing fee, includes any rebates and incentives) MSRP: $31,846   Is this a good deal? It's the color I want, but includes some options that I don't need (or would even use). The biggie is the Perimeter Alarm upgrade -- I'd never use it and would most likely have it disabled. Is it possible for the dealer to remove unwated options?   One last question: What's the etiquette when dealing with internet salesmen. Is the offer they provide, the best possible, or is there always some room?   Appreciate the help... Replies to this message: sweet_subie (Jul 08, 2005 1:53 pm) chum (Jul 09, 2005 7:46 am)
#585 of 1635 internet sales by ateixeira Jul 08, 2005 (12:04 pm)
Usually they're already at a low price point and won't budge at all.   Compare that price to the ones on fitzmall.com.   -juice

Replying to: chum (Jul 08, 2005 10:17 am) fitzmall.com is your best bet, as far as i know. they offer fixed prices.   $250 processing fee ? that's way too high. the max i ahve seen is $100. the price i think you can negotitate 500$ less that quoted. remember, dealers are now desparate to get rid of 2005s as 2006s on the way this month.

Replying to: sweet_subie (Jul 08, 2005 1:53 pm) Thanks for the reply -- I'll see if I can get the processing fee reduced, though I have my doubts given the way they presented it to me. What is the processing fee supposed to cover anyway? Folks have mentioned Fitz.. do their prices include tax?   One last question -- the dealer mentioned that they use the auction black book for trade in values. Is there a [free] way a consumer can check to see what they hope to get for their car? From what I understand, the black book price can come in under the kbb.   Thanks!
#589 of 1635 Found a great buy on a 05 LLBean by rileyc Jul 09, 2005 (1:32 pm)
I am happy! We found a great deal on an 05 LLBean with all the options/add on's like the compass/mirror, extended center armrest, nets, locking lugs, air filter, etc.   I did extensive searches on the .COM new/used car sites. Found one at a Ford dealer north of the Beltway in MD that had an 05 LLBean with 2900 miles. They were listed on multiple websites with different prices everywhere from 31k down to $25995. I worked with the salesman and got them down to $24995 on the phone. I even got a decent trade in value for our beat up 99 Beetle-Above KBB trade in value!. I figure I got the car for about $4000 less than a "new" 05 from the dealer. CARFAX checked good and it had a late March in-service date!   Glad to have a new Subaru!   RileyT
#590 of 1635 Congrats Riley... thats a sweet deal... by purduealum91 Jul 12, 2005 (5:56 am)
Nice savings. What the hell could they possibly have traded in for at a Ford dealership? An Escape Hybrid?
#591 of 1635 Trade-ins by ateixeira Jul 12, 2005 (8:47 am)
Two ideas: first check with the local CarMax to see what they'll give you for it.   2nd, ask Terry in Real-World Trade-in values right here on Edmunds what to expect.   Don't expect much - you're buying a car at invoice, so they will offer you wholesale, not any more than that.   -juice
#592 of 1635 2005 Outback XT by oregonman Jul 12, 2005 (12:19 pm)
I just bought a 2005 Outback XT Auto: MSRP $30,424 Paid $25,900 before tax, title and fees   Cash - no trade, no extended warranty.   The posts here helped me know how much to pay, so hopefully, this info will help others. Replies to this message: wam1 (Jul 21, 2005 3:13 pm)
