Under invoice...
 
We've negotiated a 5 passenger LTD with puddle lights, dimming mirror, and other add-ons for just under $32,000 including everything but sales tax. We feel okay about the price.
 
We're working on the lease, just offered in NY for the first time in several years since the repeal of the vicarious liability laws. We've been quoted $389 for a 36 month lease, 12K miles, $2500 down, tax rolled into the lease. I've asked the dealer to give me money factor and buyout information which I haven't yet received. I'm told this lease is through Subaru Financial. It seems high to me.

what if any action can be taken if you overpaid? by x5killer

I have been through this before and had it out with the dealer as well as still pursuing what action I can take short of what I have already done in letting SOA know. But as an example I saw someone post:
35200 +tax for my B9, options include (above mentioned 7psgr limited, pearl white, beige leather, Navigation, DVD) puddle lights, auto dimming rear view mirror, cargo tray and net.
 
I paid about 3,000 more for basically the same model. What can I do? The dealership was all helpful when trying to make the deal but after showing invoice pricing and expressing not being happy with the price at the time of the deal and afterwards under the impression that they would throw in some free options and future service consideration they basically only threw in 2 cheap options and then tricked me into spending over 500 more on other options and their installation while there getting the installation of the 2 cheap free options. They have since given me the silent treatment and not responded when I let them know of my further dissatisfaction.
I think they think they got away with it but they will lose much more by me never getting a vehichle from them again , spreading the word and giving them a bad rep, not taking it there for any service or giving them another cent for anything as well as letting SOA know my dissatisfaction in the survey and other communications.
 
Anyone know what else can be done. Can i take them to court for overcharging me?
heh.

I am not an attorney but I doubt if you can take any legal action, I suspect this dealer has covered his behind every step of the way. If it were me I would file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and then see if there is a consumer advocate in your local newspaper or possibly radio talk show and bring it to their attention. For sure you should contact SOA, but I would not expect much help there.
 
Finally what is the name and location of this dealer I certainly would not want to give them any business ...

Glanzman Subaru in Jenkintown, PA and according to them I got the best deal and they haven't been selling any Tribecas for anything under MSRP like the 1000 off MSRP that i got which was still over 2,000 over invoice. So yeah I wouldn't suggest trying to get a Tribeca from them as you'll have to pay MSRP while everyone else on here posts prices paid of just a few hundred over invoice, some at invoice and now some even below invoice.
 
Basically like most dealers they will be all nice to get the sale and seal the deal after which they will treat you like crap as they already made the big sale which to me is stupid because they are not thinking about future sales or revenue from service.

I don't see how this is feasible, how would you feel if a dealer lost money one year and then came after you for paying too little?
 
A deal is a deal. Do your research before the deal, not after. Too late to take action now. Chalk it up to a lesson learned, and enjoy the car.
 
You might even get better service at the dealer if they remember you and made a profit (car salesman are human and have families to feed, too).
 
Don't sweat it, I say.

I agree with juice ( I usually do), " a deal is a deal". However if they intentionaly misslead you, made false statements and tricked you to buy things with inflated installtion charges then IMHO you have a right to be upset. Tell your family and friends people at work etc. get the word out that is not a place to do business with. This action will not get you any money back, it could cost them several sales down the road and you will have hit them in their pocket book so in a way you will have gotten even and then as juice says don't sweat it and by all means enjoy your tribeca it is a great vehicle.
 
There are lots of great Subaru dealerships out there, no doubt you will do better next time!

dude.. you did not overpay. You just didn't get a good deal. You paid under MSRP. I understand your frustration learning of the price people pay for afterwards, but I agree with the previous 2 posts. A deal is a deal , unless they misrepresented something of significance or charged you a dealership premium over the msrp.
 
legal action. no way would this fly. please don't waste tax payers' money.
 
My first 2 car purchases were full msrp. Nowadays, I find out everything before I buy so I can live with whatever deal I am able to negotiate/find. Lots of people out there pay MSRP all the time.
