#2097 of 2273 Re: discrepancies for MSRP? [macdougal28] by sweetsoul Nov 06, 2009 (8:21 am)
Replying to: macdougal28 (Nov 06, 2009 7:32 am) Hi macdougal28 - if you go on subaru.com to build the 2.5i basic w/CVT it shows the MSRP as follows: $22,995 Base MSRP, plus $1000 for CVT tranny, plus $695 for delivery = MSRP of $24,690. Here's the kicker... some states require you to have the PZEV Zero Emissions engine which is another upcharge to MSRP, and I bet Maine is one of those states. I could not find the upcharge on subaru's site, but on Edmunds they have it listed as $300 MSRP - this brings the total MSRP to $24,990. I am only aware of this because PA also requires you to have PZEV as well so it was on my recent order . So $24,990 sounds accurate. I noticed on edmunds that the invoice of the PZEV is actually higher than the MSRP - so don't factor them taking any money off this required add on.   I hope that helps clear it up for you. Good luck again, please let us know how you make out. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that you can make a deal you are ultimately happy with Replies to this message: macdougal28 (Nov 06, 2009 8:54 am) xwesx (Nov 06, 2009 9:58 am)

Replying to: sweetsoul (Nov 06, 2009 8:21 am) Very helpful info, indeed. I have noticed that ALL the subarus I see drive by have PVEZ on them. So I'm sure Maine requires it. I will definitely post about my negotiation and buying experience.
#2099 of 2273 My dealership experiences by curve Nov 06, 2009 (9:17 am)
I emailed several dealerships in the MA area for a 3.6R Premium with audio upgrade. A few replied that there were no 3.6 in the New England area. Puzzling to say the least as Manchester, NH has three of them. I called to verify if they were available and they still are. Next a couple of dealers suggested I order one or try the 2.5 instead. One of them suggested a price of around $30k as "realistic." The MSRP is $30,685 and the invoice is $28,757. That is profit close to $2k! (including holdback) I replied that many are getting invoice price...I thought buying through the internet was supposed to be easier than showing up!

Replying to: sweetsoul (Nov 06, 2009 8:21 am) Great post and good point about the PZEV. That one is an oddity because invoice is $308 versus MSRP of $300. I purchased my car at $300 under invoice, told my dealer exactly how I wanted it ordered (which included PZEV), and I paid $308 for that option. Because we started the discussions with everything at invoice, I wasn't going to argue the point.
#2101 of 2273 Purchase of 2010 2.5i Limited Outback by ncdude Nov 06, 2009 (8:04 pm)
Today I went to either purchase or order an Outback from Huff Subaru in Wytheville, Va. I had been dealing with the internet manager who suggested I order since I didn't see anything in their inventory which I liked. A day or so ago I was informed that they now had one in stock like I wanted so I would not have to order. Immediately, I thought I was about to be the target of the old "bait and switch" technique. To my surprise, the car at the dealership had more options than I originally wanted, but they honored my original deal!!. There was no hassle, no outrageous add-ons, no pressure. It was the most pleasant car-buying experience I have ever had, and I came out of the dealership without having the feeling I had been" raped and pillaged". This dealership apparently wants to sell Subarus and they are not afraid to deal. So, if you live in nw-NC,ne-TN,sw--VA or southern WVa and are in the market for a Subaru, I suggest you contact them.
#2102 of 2273 What price should I be looking to get for a 3.6R Limited by hlt1634 Nov 07, 2009 (7:46 am)
I am looking to purchase a 2010 3.6Limited Outback. One dealer is offering it at their invoice price. Originally it was 700.00 over invoice. Is this a good deal? I have never owned a subie before, but this seems like a pretty nice SUV.

Replying to: hlt1634 (Nov 07, 2009 7:46 am) hlt1634 getting a new OB at invoice is a great deal! There are some on this forum that are drooling with jealousy right now. At most, you may be able to squeeze out a few hundred dollars - you could try, but from what I have seen on here... invoice is a really great price. Make sure you have a clear understanding of any additional fees, such as doc fees because these can vary dramatically. Best of luck with your new suby!

Replying to: hlt1634 (Nov 07, 2009 7:46 am) I'm looking for a 2010 OB 3.6R Limited + Moonroof (WIL interior) and black exterior - in NJ.   I would bite the hand the hand off of an offer at invoice. But I would also check the added costs. Which state are you in?   BG Replies to this message: hlt1634 (Nov 08, 2009 3:56 pm)

Replying to: hlt1634 (Nov 07, 2009 7:46 am) I hear the 3.6Limiteds may be in short supply, but I would still try for at least a couple hundred off invoice. Watch out for all the add-on fees!
#2106 of 2273 A good dealership in NJ? by britgeezer Nov 07, 2009 (9:21 pm)
Wow, just spent some time looking at reviews of dealers in my area (NJ) - can they all be that bad?   Given that people who complain are more motivated to comment than those satisfied:   Can anyone recommend a good Subaru NJ dealer for service? Can anyone recommend a dealer Tristate or PA that is good to buy from?   Thanks   BG Replies to this message: sweetsoul (Nov 08, 2009 2:53 pm)
