I'm trying real hard to behave , but Ive already pushed the tach over 5000 a couple times passing slow-movers on two lanes. Wow! Is that fun! Its way cool to hang out a Subaru dealership these days. The new Legacy and Outback are nice and crawling around a 2005 STi is pretty entertaining, too..but I love the FXT! Mark
VIP Shopping
by subewannabe on Fri Jun 04 06:52:44 PDT 2004
SoA pays the selling dealer a special fee to offset the lack of other profits in a VIP transaction. I told my local dealer a long time ago that when the time came to get off the Fence, I would use my VIP benefit but buy from them and give them an additional opportunity to make a few bucks on an extended warranty.     As it turned out, we test drove the new OB 's and Legacy GT and decided the FXT was what our next car would be and I called IMBA to get my VIP letter. Our local dealer, Prestige Subaru in Asheville, said they would find whatever color '04 we wanted but they couldnt promise that beyond June. I got the letter last Friday and left it on my desk when we left for what we planned to be the last trip to the beach in the 94 Explorer. The Explorer turned out to be more tired than we thought...the engine starting lugging a bit with the heat, and the load, and as we got off the expressway in Charleston...there was a Subaru dealer...Viking Subaru! It turned out they had only one FXT PP...in our first choice color, with exactly the options we wanted: Sierra Gold with the auto- dimming mirror/compass,upgraded security system splash guards and the cargo tray!  I explained about my VIP letter and they were familiar with the plan and we had a new Forester at invoice in less than 90 minutes! The saleman was flabbergasted that I didnt even drive the car...I sat in back with the kids and listend for squeaks and rattles and watched for leaks around the doors and sunroof...it was raining hard.. while my wife drove! Since I already knew what the exact invoice price would be,$26,288 including destination/delivery , there were no surprises. The dealer had prepped the car with special coatings, etc. and had installed a rear window air deflector and hood-mounted wind deflector for the XT..and all that got thrown in for free. ( For those looking at the monocolor Forester XT and XS, the little bit of dark plastic across the front of the hood really improves the look of the Sierra Gold, IMO). I ended up getting the 6 year /80 K Subaru Gold extended warranty and the financial manager took $250 off that, too...$1380. No document prep or processing fees! I financed the whole amount, since 1.9% financing is better that cash in the bank. I called Subaru of America's VIP program, they faxed a new form to Viking Subaru to complete the VIP paperwork.Painless. The guys at Viking Subaru were great to work with. Maybe I'll get a Legacy GT wagon from them on next summer's trip to the beach! BTW, as a recent Fence-percher, it was awful hard to ignore the Champagne Gold OB LLBean sitting on Viking's lot...what a beautiful car! Mark

financing incentives..
by subewannabe on Tue Apr 27 18:08:37 PDT 2004
Dont panic...the financing incentives arent going anywhere unless Alan Greenspan says we're into inflation, and even then they will be there for 04 models. The risk is what will be available on the lots...the XT PP packages are almost gone; lots of others,though. The financing didnt disappear at the end of March, did it? they will work with you to get an 04 out the door. Mark
Re: Forester X or Legacy L special edition [manindune #249]

Dune man....take your port-a-crib ,port-a-swing, etc. to the dealer and see how it all fits in the Forester cargo area. Kid stuff takes up so much room, esp when you visit the relatives for the weekend, go to the beach, etc. Add a labrador retriever and you're crowded. Im mulling over the same question, Legacy v Forester, and while I like the Forester better to drive everyday, the extra room in the rear of the Legacy has real advantages.I saw a Forester with a really nice Thule luggage pod on the roof this weekend...that may be the solution for me since my girls are 7 and 13 and backpacks and duffel bags are easier to stow . Good luck...you cant make a bad decision with those prices on two excellent, reliable cars! Mark
juice wins his choice of stuffed animals!
by subewannabe on Mon Apr 05 13:15:56 PDT 2004
Juice, You did the exact same math I did. The car doesn't have any options on it, not even the auto-dimming mirror/compass. The dealer was willing to let me take it for a few days to test drive it but drug their feet about pulling the service records up on the computer ...which made me a little leery if it was supposedly the regional SoA rep's car.   Bottom line, I told them I did not want to waste their time or mine haggling, especially since it was a Silver XT PP , my second-to-last color preference, after black...I wouldnt go above $18,750 and he wouldnt come below $20,000. Back to The Fence, waiting on your report from Vegas!      BTW, the dealer confirmed he would go $500 below invoice on any new FXT in stock, plus customer cash back or special financing . They also have some really good deals on 04 LL Beans, but once the wife drove the Forester XT, there's no going back....We wants da' turbo! Mark
