Find Subaru Dealers in Vienna, Virginia

VRM, Just took possession of my factory-ordered 2010 Outback Limited with Nav on Saturday, October 31, 2009. Bought it from Stohlman Automotive (Subaru, VW, Mitsubishi) in Vienna, VA. Honest, reputable dealership, no hassle, got it for $500 below dealer invoice via internet sales and phone negotiations. I did not have a good experience with Sheehy Subaru in Springfield, VA, the first Subaru dealership I dealt with. I was given the run-around by their internet sales manager when I wanted to order my car during clunkers month. He would not give me a bottom-line price even after he called me and said he ordered my car the day C4C officially ended. I told him without numbers, I would have to take my business elsewhere and I did. He never even called to find out why or try to win my business back. I finally saw "my car" on Sheehy's inventory web page at the beginning of October and after a week it passed to Farrish Subaru (who actually called me saying the car had my name on it on the invoice and they tried to sell it to me). After a week at Farrish, it made its way to Beyer Subaru. After a week there, I lost track of it, although, just out of curiosity, I called Beyer Subaru and asked about it and they said it was still in their inventory and didn't know why it wasn't showing up on their web page. I don't know if it was sold or not or shipped to another dealer. Sheehy would have had a done deal - don't know why they did what they did. They probably thought they could sell it and make more money - I guess they couldn't. Stohlman was quick, easy and no pressure even in the finance department. I did not try to bargain for anything else during the sales contract signing process since I had done all my negotiating up front before ordering the car. Plus, they honored a 2 month-old appraisal of $1,000 for my 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan trade-in with a dent on the rear right panel, AC in need of a $2,000+ repair and almost 140,000 miles. Even though KBB gave a quote of $1,500 for a fair condition trade, I didn't think I would get anything for my van, so I was happy with the total deal. If you are going to buy in Northern VA, definitely give Stohlman a chance. Their internet sales department (via e-mails) also guarantees they will beat any deal by $150. All around, a great car-buying experience with them.

sure, two caveats, though -- first, I'm relying on my memory because I was interested in the '09, not the '10 (I just don't like the '10 for many reasons, the cons far outweigh the pros for my subjective taste), and second, the conversation was 4 wks or so ago, so now that more '10s are there & the clunker program is going great guns, I don't know what the current pricing will be ... but I got mine from Stohlman in Tysons Corner (Vienna), VA ... mine's an '09 Ltd. so not sure if the options list will help but IIRC it was mats; homelink/compass mirror; side & seatback nets (I may be forgetting something but I don't think so). It was a very painless transaction - we also bought my wife's previous car (a CPO'd '98 VW Passat) there in '00.

Just picked up a 2005 Outback XT Limited 5 speed in black, with taupe int.. Great car, got it for $28,697, versus MSRP of $31,706, or $390 below invoice of $29,087 from Stohlman Automotive in Vienna VA. Prices are are posted on the website and the people are low pressure and helpful.
