#2756 of 2765 Re: dealer advertised price below TMV and invoice? [xwesx] by ateixeira Dec 02, 2009 (12:38 pm)
Replying to: xwesx (Dec 01, 2009 5:19 pm) Yes, but that doesn't mean you won't have to pay them.   Just get a quote with fees included. Ask for an out-the-door price.

Replying to: gigoypotpot (Dec 01, 2009 5:41 pm) $300 under invoice is good, yes. The out-the-door price seems a lot higher than the sale price, so make sure to calculate taxes and see how many fees they are tacking on.

Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 02, 2009 12:39 pm) California sales tax is almost 9% and throw registration on top of that, using 10% as a rough gauge and that looks like a pretty good deal to me.

#2759 of 2765 oil changes, engine, transmission, and state inspections for life by toddkddot Dec 03, 2009 (7:28 am)
one of my local subaru dealers is offering free oil changes, engine, transmission, and state inspections for life. they say it is the same engine and transmission warranty that is offered by the manufacturer but it is extended for as long as I own the vehicle.   how much value should I put in this when negotiating? i'd imagine the dealer won't budge much on the advertised price if this deal is included.

#2760 of 2765 hello jing! by asdf9 Dec 03, 2009 (1:37 pm)
Replying to: sam5000 (Nov 16, 2009 6:02 am) Hey jing, you still looking? Before you go to stamford, don't count out branford and Premier Subaru! Premier is a great dealership and it's where I bought my 2009 Forester. The extra drive will be worth it let me tell you.   If we get snow this winter bring it on! You new forester drivers haven't lived till you've taken the car out in a winter storm! I mean I use to tuck myself in and go no where with my old rear-wheel drive. Now I'm out food shopping and visiting the video store! I do miss my old 8 cylinder power. But down the road I plan on getting a 3.6R legacy to fill my power needs. Just remember if your driving in a snow storm and it just began, leave plenty of room in front of you to stop. And it doesn't hurt to not have to worry about buying something big like at IKEA.

Replying to: toddkddot (Dec 03, 2009 7:28 am) I'd be leery. If nothing else, that "warranty" is dealer-specific, so it is going to be subject to the dealer's longevity and criteria. Have you talked with other owners about their experience at the same dealership? Also, they may require other services (not covered in the "deal") to maintain the warranty, etc. Are you going to live in that area as long as you own the vehicle? Do you plan to own it a long time? The list goes on.....   Really, only you can decide if it is worth it. Depending on the price they are asking, it may be better to do a Subaru Gold warranty (or none at all) and buy the car for much less somewhere else.

Replying to: ediamiam (Dec 02, 2009 3:07 pm) Amazing - a tax rate that high and still the state is bankrupt!...... Replies to this message: gigoypotpot (Dec 04, 2009 10:11 am) ateixeira (Dec 04, 2009 10:16 am)
#2763 of 2765 Re: oil changes, engine, transmission, and state inspections for life [toddkddot] by ateixeira Dec 03, 2009 (5:59 pm)
Replying to: toddkddot (Dec 03, 2009 7:28 am) Let's see, figure $25 per oil change, 4 times a year, so $100 per year value in that.   The guarantee who knows, the dealership could close or change owners. Plus all the fine print. To me it would be worth less than half of what a Gold warranty would be, a couple hundred or so.   If you can save $500 or more, pass on it. If the difference is tiny, go for it.

Replying to: godeacs (Dec 03, 2009 4:45 pm) Right?? That's what I said too! LOL.   Anyway, I wanted to thank everybody for all of your help.   I am now a 2010 Forester owner and cannot believe it!!!   I ended up dealing with Timmons Subaru in Long Beach, they beat Irvine Subaru's quote by $100 less.   I got a premium with AWP and Popular Package (rear bumper cover, Auto-Dimming Mirror with Homelink, Aero Cross Bars, Cargo Tray, Luggage Cover, etc).   MSRP was $26,159. But sales price was $23,818. With taxes, documentation, and NVR, it came out to almost $27,000.   Overall, very happy with my experience and I think I got a pretty good (?) price for Southern CA. Thanks all!!!! Replies to this message: ateixeira (Dec 04, 2009 10:16 am)

Replying to: gigoypotpot (Dec 04, 2009 10:11 am) $23.8k sounds good with the AWP, congrats!
