So then why can't buy a 2012 car at a discounted price? Do they offer much lower price on trade ins? Why would anyone buy a 2012 car if it is priced same as 2013?You will loose. The next buyer will loose. The dealership will win.
Because dealers never voluntarily discount. You have to say "please."So then why can't buy a 2012 car at a discounted price?
Because the 2012 is available with manual tranny and moonroof?Why would anyone buy a 2012 car if it is priced same as 2013?
Ok Thanks. Now that is a useful response. :29:Because dealers never voluntarily discount. You have to say "please."

Looby
And some info on Costco buying experience:What is costco rebate? Is it accepted by all dealers?
Dealers are offering 13 below invoice. At those prices, 13 seems more attractive than 12. What do you mean by "do the VIP"?Either do the VIP or take your time in a negotiation that you can drop at any time. Surely you can find a 12 below dealer invoice. That said the stock 13 suspension is noticeably better than on my 11. Good Luck!
You won't go wrong in the OB unless you don't need the AWD and want a tight cornering sport wagon.

I paid zero destination fees. Totally negotiable. (my dealer already took them off as part of their quote: I got 3 dealers to give me their best offer, told all 3 who they were competing against up front).Thanks. Good info. I had gone through the forum once.
What is destination fees? Is it possible to get the dealer to take that off?
Did you pay MSRP minus the Destination/Delivery charge? If so, it wasn't a free-bee as the cost difference between Invoice and MSRP is greater than the Destination/Delivery Charge. Also some dealers have a separate "Destination" fee over and above that required by Subaru (great profit maker) - was that the case for your purchase.I paid zero destination fees. Totally negotiable.

2013 Base Outback has a 22,918 Invoice price and that does include the $795 destination fee. Sorry Charlie; but you actually did pay the destination fee.The sales department is truly awesome. They had the best price in the PNW, and used absolutely zero pressure sales tactics. It was if I was ordering off a menu, and the choice was mine. I've purchased 3 cars (all used) from new car dealers in the past 10 years and always had to haggle, walk out several times, and deal with the last minute undercoat/pinstripe/upsale garbage. Really, NONE of that. I am still shocked.
They gave me a price over the internet ($23k flat for my car <----) after 2 emails to 3 different dealers, and they stuck to it. The price included destination and everything. There was a $150 doc fee, tax and license. That's it.
Additionally, I called in advance to see if they could get a head start on the paperwork, as my wife had an appointment. We got there, they were ready to go, and we were done in under an hour. I can't recommended them enough for a new car purchase.

Destination fee is the dealers cost to haul the car to their lot on the truck. This is not a fee that is normally knocked off when asked. The dealer might negotiate a price with you that reduces their take and earnings after said fees they paid on the car - but normally a buyer will not get anywhere when they ask if the dealer will not pass on the dealers shipping cost to the buyer.Thanks. Good info. I had gone through the forum once.
