Arizona 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.

Just negotiated a deal with the local dealer for invoice $28,530. Limited Graphite Gray 2.5 CVT and moonroof w/ B0A (mats) E0A (media hub) K0D (homelink/auto-dim) LN4 (Puddle lamps/Splash Guards) plus more. Could have gotten $300 under invoice but that dealer was in Phoenix (2+ hrs away) but that just wasn't worth my time. Inventory isn't all that great here in AZ either. It should be here next week and we are pushing for them to not etch the windows so we can save $275.

Actually the automatics are fairly robust.

Can somebody recommend a dealer (and maybe e-mail me offline with a specific salesperson) in AZ? Dealers nearest me are Power Subaru and Camelback Subaru. Looking for an Impreza Wagon with AT & probably Premium Pkg in the next month. Lastly - Are the AT's in the base Imprezas pretty bad? Wondering if I should look elsewhere for a fun to drive reliable car...

You are correct about the snow/ice buildup in the wheel wells. I haven't gotten vibration from it to date, though. BTW, I have an MT as far as gas goes, they typically get 2mpg better than AT. I did both hand calcs and read the dash mpg. It has never been too far off that I noticed. I have about 8300 miles. And I had thought the mileage was going down as it was getting older until I realized about the gas difference. It has also started to pick up with some warmer weather (70) that we have been having here in the middle of winter., And I do drive more hiway than city, by a fair bit. Overall mpg before ethanol was 29.5mpg. Oh, and I am a fairly conservative driver as well. Although, I was going 75 on the hiway in AZ cuz it was just so far to drive. Normally I'm between 65 & 70 on the hiway around home. I haven't had a problem with the low seat. I'm always the driver. I have had a couple of very small women in the front seat beside me...but I may not notice the difference as much as I'm 5'6" and a woman as well, but with a longer torso. I only really noticed once cuz it was noted here and once I had a very sort torsoed person in the passenger seat. That was what made me note what the others were talking about. Good luck with your purchase. Be aware that Subaru currently has a 2.9% no money down, up to 63 month financing program. At least for the month of March. Good deal.
