Find Subaru Dealers in Somersworth, New Hampshire

Paid $28,845 for this car, with Media Hub and All-Weather Mats. Car should be here in 3-4 weeks. Price includes title and documentation fee (no sales tax in NH!). Dealer was Tri-City Subaru in Somersworth, NH. Good experience, salesman let us progress at our pace. They came down from their initial price. I could have gone $200 less at another dealer, but previous experiences at the other dealer haven't been great.

I still think that is WAY too much. Why is the MSRP so much higher than the base MSRP for an '08 XT Ltd 5MT ($28,540; invoice is $26,761)? The MSRP quoted reflects $2,455 in options. What are they and do you want them? The '09s will be on dealers lots soon. I suspect that if you bought an '08 XT Ltd 5MT from Carter Subaru in Seattle (they have four per their website - blue, black, white, & red) and had it shipped, you'd still do better than the current offer (& would get it sooner). Also, I can't imagine that the price on the '09s will be THAT much higher to justify this price. But you can do better in New England, too. Just browsing around, I see that Maine Mall Subaru's website shows an '08 XT Ltd 5MT in Newport Blue Pearl with a $28,700 MSRP. So does Manchester Subaru in NH (MSRP $28,540). Heck, I see that Keene Subaru in Keene, NH has an '08 XT Ltd. AT for $26,687 (sales price) - and an AT adds @$1000 to the price of a Forester. The website of TriCity Subaru in Somersworth, NH, shows an Obsidian Black Pearl '08 XT Ltd. 5MT with MSRP of $28,767) in inventory. Ditto Village Subaru in Acton, MA - Aspen White '08 XT Ltd. 5MT - MSRP $28,540. Ditto Planet Subaru in Hanover, MA (Obsidian Black) - site shows '08 XT Ltd. 5MT MSRP $28,582 and invoice of $26,994. Ditto Bertera Subaru in W. Springfield, MA (Steel Silver) - site shows MSRP '08 XT Ltd. 5MT $29,517 and invoice of $27,586 (includes tinted windows). I found still more '08 XT Ltd. 5MTs at various Subaru dealers in NY state - all with MSRPs under $29K. My point - if you don't want to wait for an '09, buy (for less) from a dealer in New England that has one in stock! Fax all the dealers that have what you want and ask for their best DELIVERED price (excluding tax, title & license, but including any dealership fees). They compete, you win.
