Ultimately- my local dealer couldn't get me the vehicle that I wanted, or even my second choice. So, I ended up going out of state and am getting a vehicle from South Coast Subaru in Costa Mesa, CA.
 
Exactly at "Invoice minus $1250"- plus a $45 doc fee, $8 for tire disposal and $350 to ship it to me. Final price is $33,483. I never paid attention to what the MSRP was- as we only dealt from the Invoice price. No hassle, no haggle. They knew the rock bottom going rate for the vehicle. I asked for this price, and they didn't hesitate to say 'OK'. Granted, you can do a couple hundred better from Fitzmall, but I'm nowhere near the right coast, and I'm not one to quibble on the last $100 after I feel like I'm getting a solid deal.

Sounds like you did great! Did you end up w/Seacrest Green or the white pearl?
 
One question... what the heck is a tire disposal fee on a new car?

Tire disposal fees are usually charged on any tire purchase.... whether they are on a car, or not..
 
It helps the states pay to clean up all of those tire dumps.... You know, where the farmer hoarded them for twenty years because he was going to make a mint selling them to be turned into petroleum products?
 
Instead... he dies, or goes bankrupt, and leaves a rodent and mosquito infestation mess that costs hundreds of thousands to clean up..

Thanks for asking. I could't find a seacrest green. And after a taking a look at the beautiful pearl white color- I decided it was too beautiful, and made the car look a little too feminine. Perhaps guess I doubt my masculinity??
 
In any case- I fell in love with the Titanium Silver- which is the color I really wanted in the first place, but was worried about the darker leather interior and the mediocre air conditioner wouldn't be able to keep up against the Tucson summer sun.
 
Then I realized that I'm seldom even around Tucson in the summer (I travel for work), so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. If it is, I'll post next summer and whine to ya'll. Especially to Karen in Phoenix who posted a long time ago that the AC was fine.
 
Between the paperwork, money transfer and shipping, it will be another week or so before I get to take delivery. Can't wait!
 
Short of buying a house, buying a new car is a pretty exciting purchase. One that I don't do too often.
 
I'm also just amazed at how there was no need to negotiate the price. And by buying from a distance- no need to run the gauntlet at the dealership on extended warranties and overpriced paint protection. There is some FedEx'ing required tho'.

I just placed an order today for the B9 7 passenger Ltd loaded w/Nav/Dvd and anything else I could add on. It's going to be black with tan interior. My delivery will be in December.
 
The dealer is going to add Bluetooth for me as well. Am very excited and this will be perfect timing for when we start driving up those icy mountains in NC!!!!

Ah, thanks for the info. About 20 years ago we had an infamous tire fire here that burned millions of tires, lasted three months, temporarily closed I-5, caused evacuations due to toxic smoke, and had contaminated runoff from firefighting attempts foul the river and Puget Sound. With all the black smoke billowing skyward, I thought Mt. Rainier was erupting like St. Helens did.

 
Prob'ly worth $8 bucks on any tire purchase to avoid this.

Yes, the dealer adds it. I'll give you details when it gets closer to picking up the car. It's an aftermarket thing they do.

Yes- you can add bluetooth to any car. Here's a company called "Parrot" that makes a number of different models. I think you can get them for ~$200.
