Texas Subaru Car Dealers

I realize that TX is not as competitive a market as here in CO, but that seems high to me. I bought a NEW 2010 Ltd in November '09 with Homelink, rubber mats (trunk mat too), hood and sunroof deflectors, mud flaps, iPod/Bluetooth connection and PZEV (not required but saves me ever having to get the smog test done) for $25,200. They didnt' have the color I wanted in stock but I only waited a week to get one in. Short answer; $23,000 is too high when for another $2K-$3K you should be able to get a 2011 model with NO miles. easypar

All, I found a CPO limited 4cyl in the color I want with 10k mileage. They've verbally agreed to sell for $23100 to include adding tint, spoiler, and cargo tray. I've had a difficult time deciding between the invoice price of a new 2011 without the spoiler and tint, and this car. Am I getting a decent deal? I'm in TX, and this is the only vehicle within 400 miles in the color I'm looking for, and mileage. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Wanted to share the buying experience with SUbaru of Plano, TX. They were very cool and low pressure - a quite pleasant experience overall; I worked with Mark and Gary. I got a 2011 2.5 Legacy Premium, with: All-Weather package (Heated Front Seats,Windshield Wiper De-Icer, Heated Side Mirrors) Power Moonroof Subwoofer Kit, Tweeter Kit, Media Hub, BlueTooth Connect Kit All weather Floor Mats Trunk Lip Spoiler XM Satellite Radio I paid $23,422 + TTL. This was a model on the showroom floor so they drove it out fo us. No wear, very clean, 34 miles on odo (so not a demo). I think I did good. I used Edmunds many times to get great info I figure I'd give something back! :)

Dear CARMAN, Ok, it is sept 13 now and I know that some 2011WRX hit the showroom floor already. I am looking to lease a 2011 WRX 5 door. Basic, not Premium or Limited. I live in Houston, TX and the 2 dealers are Gillman and West Houston Subaru. What is the residual value and money factor for 2011 WRX 5door for the minimum mileage on 36 and 48 months. And also, since I am total newbie to the lease, how do I calculate my monthly payment with those numbers. I do not intend to put any money down. I have seen an offer online for 309/mo x 48 months with $2000 down, but I think it is much better to do the 36mo instead. Your help is HIGHLY appreciated. Thanks!

A couple of months ago I would have thought that was a good price, but now that the '11s are in showrooms I'm not sure. What other "extras" does it have? Or what "extras" (all weather mats, etc) can you get them to add? Are you in an area with a lot of competing dealers like CO or someplace like TX where there is little competition? I know someone who got a great deal on a "leftover" 2010 Outback here in CO because the dealer wanted to clean out the last of them, but they wouldn't budge much on the 2011s. Good luck easypar
