So I think I want to buy a new Outback soon. I could wait for the 2016s too. My current car (05 LL Bean Outback) has 2 blown wheel bearings, and needs new tires.
Anyways, I read its best to email dealers for their best prices. How exactly do you work emails? I do have a trade-in. (2005 Outback LLBean). I live in Burlington VT but I'd be willing to drive to another state (but probably prefer to keep it in New England). I have family in Boston so that would be my ideal target, or maybe Manchester NH).
Should I test drive at my local dealership? I really just want to find out the best price and then decide if I should bite the bullet for a good deal or wait for 2016? I dont really want to haggle on the phone. I do have a $500 voucher from Subaru off the purchase of a new car as well, but it expires on 4/30/15. Hoping to find a Carbide Grey/Black interior 2.5 Limited with eyesight.
So what should I say in my emails? Should I state that I am looking for 2% below invoice? Or give them a price? I'm not a very assertive person and I'm having trouble deciding the best way to go about this. Thanks!
I'm finding with TrueCar, they send you a price, but then email you and call you. How to you get them to drop their price over email? If I'm going to be buying a car from a place that is a 4 hour drive away I only want to visit them the day I pick up the car!
Thanks for any advice!
