Folks I picked up my new 06 xt a couple of weeks ago and the dealer wanted $3,250 for Gold Plus warranty. This would equate to 10% of the MSRP,seems way high to me. Anybody give me some guidance on this? Thanks |

Replying to: cruiser6 (Mar 17, 2006 9:11 am) The former record was around $1800, so that dealer is hopeless. I would shop at other dealers. I hear there may soon be a tool on the internet to help Subaru customers shop for warranties, if I hear any more I'll share it here. You can buy up to 3 years or 36k miles after the new purchase, so no hurry. -juice |

Replying to: dkbrown (Mar 17, 2006 8:10 am) I haven't decided whether to renew the subscription. It looks like I'm in the market for a new 2006 now. Is the vehicle you are interested in being offered for sale through a dealer? Most dealers will run the Carfax report for you. I am assuming it the Dealer version includes all the same information available to Buyers through personal subscriptions. The one thing you do want to check for is that they give you all of the pages. My sister got a Carfax type report from a dealer and page 3 of 7 was missing. I still don't know if it contained any critical pages. Reports for newer vehicles generally contain about 8 pages and the upper right of each page will note "Page 1 of 8, Page 2 of 8, ..." and so on. ~Cath |

Replying to: cruiser6 (Mar 17, 2006 9:11 am) A couple of pages back I posted information regarding the best price on a Subaru backed "Added Assurance" plan. Here is a summary: Non-turbo, $0.00 Deductible, Gold Plus, 7 yr / 100K: $2,460.00 MSRP. Phone quote from Luke Higly (sp?) of Stacy Subaru, Brattleboro, VT,: $1,530.00. However, I asked him to fax me the quote and he crossed that figure out and replaced it with $1,430.00. That's slightly better than 40% off the $2,460 MSRP. Additionally, there is a recent posting from someone else indicating that they may have some sort of owner loyalty discount of $200.00. This is for someone that is buying his third Subaru. Apparently he has to submit some documentation following his purchase. If you already own or are replacing a Subaru you may want to call them and see if you are eligible. ~Cath

I called them yesterday and asked for a price on a 06 Outback with auto as only option and he came back with a price of $20,999 and then asked how much for a Limited and it was $2k more at $23,000. The guys are doing some deep discounts!! I emailed about 10 dealers and no one was close to Beckers prices. $21,500 from Fitxmall and $21,700 from a dealer in Va. All the rest were in the low $22k range. I'm in NC and have a business trip in Pa in 2 weeks, I might just have to stop by and see how much they will give me on my trade. Wonder if we could have Becker give us more of a discount if we say we saw them on Edmunds?? Hoople....did you get yours yet?? Let us know how it went |

Replying to: steve98 (Mar 18, 2006 6:59 am) I had a slight snag in my 2006 Outback Purchase. We showed up for my schedual pick-up on Friday. The salesman asked if we had the VIN number on the car...of course we did...I had to get my insurance card for the deal....started to get that "UH-oh" feeling. He said that they found hood damage on the car I had test drove and had selected as the 'ONE". He said he had another car exactly alike and lets finish the deal. I told them that I did not like this turn of events, I had to travel a good distance, and why hed no one called to let me know about the switch! He said he tried to reach me but my phone was busy..hmm! I insisted on test driving the car. Call it mental...but I did not like the "FeeL" of this swapped car. It did not have the same drive feel of the car I had selected. The brakes had a distinct "pulse" and my wife heard it as well while siting in the back. I asked to drive with the mechanic for his opinion. He said it is probably just the rust on the brakes that will go away with time. He also understood why I would not be real happy with selecting this car. I asked to see the damavged car. Turns out it was "slight" damage on the spoiler. When they had removed the protected covering, they had noticed that there was places where Subaru just did not finsh off the paint. I say it was slightly larger than your pinkey Nail, but it was there. I took the damaged car out and it had just a better ride and no pulse in the brakes what so ever. And another curious thing that my wife had pointed out...the swapped car had NO "New Car Smell" It was just not there! The damaged car had that "distinct New car Perfume".. They clamed it was because of the cleaning of the car's interior. But I have bought many new cars in my life...all had that smell. It is what made that first drive so memorable. Now I have a headache. And it was not from the smell. LET ME ALSO SAY...Becker did not try to force me to take the car. This could be purely a bad set of luck! I am not saying that there was any "Bait and Switch" going on....I just had that feelinjg that If I took the switched car I would be using my "Subaru Warrenty" quicker than I might have expecte4d. And with this dealer so far away..the correction of any problems would go to a dealer who I did NOT buy the car from...and I am sure that they would not be as diligent to fix any brake issues and such. So I asked if they could change out the spoilers! NOt sure if that is a big deal...ANYONE KNOW?? Salesman was beside himself, but Sales manager was friendly and said it would be no problem. So what do you all think? Was I being too paranoid? I go back on Monday to try and finish the sale! Hoop |

Replying to: hoople (Mar 19, 2006 4:37 am) Call your insurance agent with the new VIN number and ask them to fax papers to the dealership. Good Luck! |
