TTL is not included in that price. I called Becker's Friday and they are now $21,500 but this is with arm rest ext. Seems every time I call I get a different price!! I wanted to know since the rebate is now $2500 if the $21k was going to be cheaper but guess not.

That is quite common. Most dealers will have one or two bare bone units for weekend newspaper material. They might have sold those units. Customer cash is still at $2000 and not $2500.

Customer cash is $2500 in New England only as far as I know, plus the dealers are in a stair-step program for another $500.

Warranties? by chrisl22

I'm in the process of buying a 2.5 limited in California for $24,820. Autodimming mirror and floor mats. At the last minute one of the other local dealers offered me 24,700, but I'm content with the guy I worked out the other offer with (friend of a friend). Is the $24,820 in San Jose, CA a good enough deal?
 
Also, I'm wondering about the extended warranty and/or pre-paid maintenance plan? What do you all think about these things?

I think so, look at the MSRP for those models...
 
I got a Subaru Gold warranty for our Legacy. Keep in mind it includes free roadside assistance during the full 7 years. AAA would have cost us $497 right there. So we dropped AAA and got the warranty.

This one is tougher to decide on. It's probably sold by the dealership itself, so if there is any chance at all that you might move, you might not be able to use what you paid for. And what if you don't like that particular dealer, well ... you are stuck. You paid them in advance to give them your loyalty.
 
Since I think loyalty is something they should have to earn, and should not cost you in this way, I'm not in favor of anything that won't be honored by any/all Subaru dealers.

Good advice on both counts. Since my family has other cars, we probably wouldn't drop AAA anyway. If you were in those shoes, would that have affected your decision to get the Subaru gold warranty? How much did the Gold warranty cost you? Thanks, again.

Prices have changed, since that was a while ago. Ask to see the list prices, and figure on about 40% off of that for your target.
 
One guy that sold them, a member on Edmunds, suggested you ask to see the cost book and then offer $100 over their true cost. It's worth it for them to make even that small profit because it's not a lot of work to write it up.
 
There is a small surcharge for turbo engines, I believe, just keep that in mind.

What's a "cost book" exactly, Juice, so it sounds like I know what I'm talking about? Will they resist showing that to me?

I wish I knew more about it. He used to sell them and gave us an insider's perspective and tips.
 
I think it was all in the Extended Warranty thread. Do a search in that thread for "cost book" and hopefully the discussion will come up.
