There's more to buying the car than the monetary deal alone. I enjoy the car more if I was treated properly. Feeling jerked around, nickle and dimed and feeling taken advantage of, is no way to begin a long relationship with your new car. I probably would have done the same thing. I can report very positive Subaru purchase experiences at Fitzmall in White Flint MD and Heritage Mile One in Owings Mills, MD.
 
As for the deduction being extended into 2010 - if it happens at all, it would only then apply to your 2010 taxes, not retroactive to 2009 tax filing. It would also require Congress to authorize it - the IRS cannot make law. So if you want the tax deduction, you need to find the new car in 2009. Good luck.

I know it takes Congress to extend the tax deduction, and I think that's what they'll do. I don't care if it's deducted from next year's taxes; it's the same amount, just delayed by a year. But I understand it's not a sure thing.

2010 Limited w/moonroof by davemattb

Just negotiated a deal with the local dealer for invoice $28,530. Limited Graphite Gray 2.5 CVT and moonroof w/ B0A (mats) E0A (media hub) K0D (homelink/auto-dim) LN4 (Puddle lamps/Splash Guards) plus more. Could have gotten $300 under invoice but that dealer was in Phoenix (2+ hrs away) but that just wasn't worth my time. Inventory isn't all that great here in AZ either. It should be here next week and we are pushing for them to not etch the windows so we can save $275.

2009 new car tax deduction question by agnosto

Does anyone know if the 2009 new car tax deduction apply the day you get the actual delivery of the vehicle or when you sign the initial paperwork (i.e $1000 secure deposit) and have to wait 6-8 weeks, which means delivery will be in 2010?

When you pay for the car (i.e., normally when you take delivery).

What is this window etching? I have seen this come up a few times now and I am really not sure what it is or why it would be done.... ?

2009 Subaru Outback 2.5i 4dr Wagon AWD (2.5L 4cyl 4A) by buyonsale

I found one new 2009 still in stock somewhat near us and see that there's still a $2000 rebate available.
On the dealer's web site, they are listing the price at $22,833 (don't know if that includes the rebate or not).
Since this is the last new one I've found in my area (it's about 50 or so miles away), anyone know the best deal to offer for this?
Thanks!

Financing & delivery by 204meca

We ordered a OB Ltd w Nav the last week of Oct & got word is is built & should be arrive about the 17th of Dec. - Yes despite reading about muddy sound & steering wheel shake, we are getting excited.
 
The dealer apparently forgot to order the trailer hitch, but owned up to it right away & will install it for the factory VIP price later.
 
The 3.9% financing deal has been renewed - pleasant surprise. Accord to cars101.com, the OB orders were up 141% for Nov. No sign of the marked cooling this highly desired car yet.
 
Interestingly we found it much easier to sell our 03 Forester than our O4 Audi A4. This despite the fact that the price was almost the same & the Audi cost about $8K more new. Gotta hand it to Subaru!

They mark the VIN on various parts of the vehicle, so it's not as attractive to thieves who could part it out and sell those parts on E-bay.

I've observed the same thing. Even with a manual transmission, which turns a lot of buyers away, I had no trouble at all privately selling a 98 Forester and an 02 Legacy. Both times I got more than expected, and the Forester actually sold to the first person who test drove it.
 
My price may have been too low!
