I've made friends with my salesman and that's more important to me than saving $100. He lets me go out on test drives by myself, no questions asked. He trusts me and that relationship has paid off. That matters more to me vs. squeezing the last few bucks out of a deal. -juice |

Replying to: x5killer (Sep 12, 2005 4:49 pm) just please dont say do your research before because I did, they just wouldn't budge and my only action wold have been to screw them over piss them off and walk out on the deal after all the trouble and getting the vehicle to their dealership which is a whole other story in which I was the one who made that happen when at first the other dealership would not cooperate. So you paid more because they had the color and options you wanted and you were not willing to walk away. no offense but you paid a premium because you wanted what they had and they probably knew that. its supply and demand. at the time you signed for the car then you knew how much over invoice you were paying and wanted the B9. like posted earlier, you get the better deals when you are willing to walk away. pissing off the dealer (so what) they are in car business and once you get emotions involved you more then likely will pay more. yeah they got the vehicle there but not at the price you wanted to pay. then walk away. you chose not to walk away and paid more to get the vehicle that was in front of you. around here there was ONE dealer that wanted MSRP. I walked and after 3 dealers found one to give me a good trade value and invoice on the B9. but I did have to walk after 3 hrs of negotiating then when they called back I got $800 off the price and $1000 when it was all said and done. I didnt feel bad, they made me feel that way when I walked but heck its my money. and they did call me back the next day to renegotiate

We shopped the internet, negotiated a good deal on a 5ltd due to arrive at the dealer beginning of Sept. The day after Labor Day the dealer told us it was due in "any day" and was in Boston (3 hours away). Not willing to take the trade in amount they offered, we dropped the price on our old car in half and sold it within 24 hours. Suddenly the car hasn't been shipped, is still in IN, and the dealer tells me today that Subaru is holding up production of the 5ltd but they should resume "any day now." I've let the dealer know I'm p!ssed off and they've offered us a loaner to tide us over. I also know we could have gotten more for the old car but I tell myself we got what I was willing to settle for as trade-in and in the meantime we've made a college kid's day. So my questions: 1) Anyone heard anything about this hold up in production? 2) I feel like the dealer owes me more than just a loaner. There's always the option of taking a hike to another dealer but the thought of starting over fills me with dread. Do I push for free floor mats or something more? |

Replying to: harvpt (Sep 13, 2005 3:47 pm) if you absolutely must have something by a certain time, always make sure any contract specifies it. if they outright lied to you in some way and purposefully deceived you then you may have some recourse but try proving that one!

Replying to: cptplt (Sep 13, 2005 7:22 pm) You're right, we should have gotten something in writing from them. And as I wrote, we've made a college kid really happy with a great deal on our old car. But what about the hold up in production of the 5 LTD? Any news on this? |

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 14, 2005 6:29 am) Be glad they have offered a loaner.. Just like free money.. It isn't as though you are paying for the car, yet... regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kyfdx (Sep 14, 2005 6:31 am) When you look at it that way, the longer they take, the better your deal becomes. The price just keeps dropping. Pray for more delays. LOL -juice |

I think he is not asking about the issue so much as the delay on the 5 LTDs. I wonder if its to change over to allow the 5 LTDs to be able to have NAV and DVD options now...
