Subaru Warehouse Parts has a deal going on with the Subaru-branded roof rack. They dropped the price to $200. Type AUG12 at checkout (it says so on the home page) for 20% off your order, leaving you with $160. Factor in that sweet $150 rebate from SoA, and you're left paying $10 before shipping costs. I ordered mine and will let you all know how it goes. If it doesn't work, at least I still got the roof rack for $200. =D
Oh and I think the OP is looking at archived pages with old pricing. They had discounted it this past weekend but it's gone back up to the original MSRP.
It's tricky, you have to just click the accessories tab at the top and you'll see the $199 pricing, but if you dive into the outback sub categories, it shows $299. Either way I just placed the order for $184 shipped, ($199-$40 w/ coupon code). I'm hoping the rebate doesn't have a minimum paid price or anything... if so, getting that roof rack for $25 shipped is absolutely epic.
Subaru doesn't care. Contact them via email or phone and they will set you up with a case. Email them a copy of your invoice showing you paid for your cargo basket, and a check will be in the mail in about 3 days.
hman, you took a lot of worry off my shoulders there haha I was sitting here flipping a coin on whether or not they'd send the rebate. Well that's awesome to hear, thanks for the heads up.
I doubt it. Everything that the US offers to their customers often does not apply to us . They have SOA...we have SCI...two totally different companies. My car is in for service today so I will ask though. I will not expect the offer to apply to us.
Yep, no need to complain, just tell them you've heard about the rebate and that you would like instructions on how to receive it. Once you have that info, just provide them a copy of the receipt. That's seriously all.
ATTENTION: I was just informed by SOA that subaru parts warehouse is not an authorized dealer, you must order from an authorized dealer. I'm trying to order mine today.
It is actually Premier Subaru (an authorized Subaru dealer and parts distributor) doing business as "Subaru Parts Warehouse". I would recommend you contact SOA again and confirm Premier Subaru is an authorized dealer, since the invoice/packing slip/receipt comes from Premier Subaru.
Just discovered this thread. Does anyone know whether the rebate still available from SOA; and does subaru parts warehouse have the promotion. SPW shows the rack for $299.
Just today I got an email from the SOA rep with whom I was in contact, letting me know a check for $150 would be in the mail... so I am guessing the rebate is still in effect. Just email them through the Subaru Web site and ask!
Unfortunately it does appear that the SPW promo price on the basket is no longer available.
