Nevada Subaru Car Dealers

I Purchased a New Subaru 2011 2.5x Ltd yesterday 5/5. MSRP-$28,013 Invoice-$26,160 Paid Invoice less $1300 or $24,860. Camelback Subaru in Phoenix delivered it to me (115 Miles) in Tucson. Lithia Subaru in Reno was also very Competitive with their Quote. Very few Foresters are available in Ca,NV,AZ.

I just got my IMPREZA 2.5i premium auto 5 door in Reno NV. 20500 OTD w/ lifetime oil change and floor mats. I hope this is a good deal. Lithia Subaru, Mr. Bob

Juice, I passed along the kudos and link to him. Thanks. In this county all vehicles must be smog certified annually. So by definition they were all still running well enough. It�s my understanding the dealer must immobilize (seize) the engine before the junk yard man and his dog come get�em. I think I read the junker man could then pick and pull any sellable parts before the vehicle is crushed or shredded. From what I saw, yes I walked over there to look during long spells of wait time, the pickins from clunker alley looked pretty lean. As you�d expect they are were all well past their prime and showed it. My son�s 94 Mazda B3000 4x4 pickup with 175K miles , manual hubs, crank windows, nearly balled tires, low horsepower, and slightly drifty suspension was somewhat typical I�d say. I think he wanted the Outback too because of its small pickup sized bay. He was going to buy anyway this year, being a VIP member, but wanted to see the new Outback first. But when C4C was initially announced a few months ago� well there was no doubt just had to hope the o�l gal help up a little longer or wasn�t wrecked. Initially 09�s were an option but the dealer only had two, the bare base model and a loaded H-6. During the deal we had to make a run out to my son�s house to get his Title and year�s worth of Insurance and Registration proof. The sales guy was going to drive us. I asked if we could use a turbo. His eyes and grin lit-up. He pulled up an 05 XT with the 5-speed manual, only 36 K on the odometer showing $17,995 on the windshield. This cherry was loaded, big moonroof, premium stereo, and leather interior. The sales guy drove it to the house demonstrating the turbo boost. My son drove it back, both guys talked excitedly and couldn�t wipe their grins off. Me, I really enjoyed the experience from the somewhat cramped back seat. Have Fun. Ted

Yesterday I tagged along with my son as he bought a PZEV Charcoal Grey 2010 Outback Premium CVT with moon roof, exactly what he wanted from his previous research. He parlayed $4500 C4C, VIP, and Subaru 4.9%... �sweeeet�. Lithia Subaru in Reno was really no-hassle with heads going up and down almost always on both sides of the deal equation. In addition to a couple of Outbacks, we were able to test drive Automatic and Manual versions of the Forester. All test drives had three good sized dudes, A/C was on, and pulling an uphill freeway grade just north of town. It seemed the Outback CVT was just a hair better pulling that grade and was quieter doing it. No question parking lot maneuverability and turning ability of the Forester was better. But in our case the EPA 24 mpg of the Outback over the 22 mpg Foresters was the deal breaker because we needed 23+ mpg to get the full $4500 C4C. The C4C mania at the dealer lot was something to behold. Customers were all over the place with all sales people fully engaged, scurrying around at a high speed pace. I believe some customers were briefly waiting for assistance. When we left the dealership about 10 PM, a couple of hours past posted closing time, customers were still waiting around for their deals to close too. Seems to me that most of those customers were like us, people who had been practicing �cheaper to keep her� mentality�. until now. I had been to that same dealer a few weeks earlier for service work on my 100K Forester and noticed the showroom and lot was dead on a late Friday afternoon. Have Fun, Ted

Correction on my original post, there were some errors from the dealer (they were using 15,000 miles/yr). Here are the final figures: 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5x Premium with All-Weather Package, 5-sp manual. MSRP: $24,790 (including the below accessories:) (there was some confusion about the final MSRP, this vehicle has some extra accessories that are a part of a popular equip package: Splash guards, rear bumper cover, luggage holder, side mouldings, Auto-Dim Mirror w/homelink, tail pipe finishers) Here are the final figures: $1,000 due at signing (includes 1st payment/tax/fees) $297/mo. + tax = $319.08 total monthly payment 36 month lease/10,000 miles a year The dealer is here in Las Vegas, NV. It took quite a bit of work to get this deal, but it was worth it in the end. I ran the numbers, and I believe this deal is at invoice or slightly below.
