dondon Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Anyone know if there will be any restrictions on using the VIP discount for the 2010 Legacy/Outback? Or should I be able to tget the discount right away? Has SOA barred use of the discount at new model introduction in the past? I am looking to get the 2010 Outback (despite its flaws) and I would like to do it as soon as possible (since our older car is starting to give out).

You should be able to get details of the offer when you are eligible. I should be coming up on eligibility in Sept some time. I can let you know when I hear, but I imagine you'd be ok with an outback, just make sure you follow the suggestions in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually already registered with a club for more than a year, so I am eligible. What I was asking about is restrictions that SOA might have, not wanting a brand-new model available for a discount right away. To answer my own question, I got a response from SOA_Blog over at NASIOC, where he confirmed that VIP won't be available right at model introduction: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showpost.php?p=27380683&postcount=2279 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yayo Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I signed up for a club a couple months ago and will be eligible in November, my question is, by that time the 2010's will be selling, but I want a 2009, will they still honor it? or is it for the current new model selling?

As of now, AFAIK, there is no VIP program on the 2010 Legacy. I would assume you should be good, but you shouldn't have too much of a hassle if you wanted to negotiate under invoice for an '09 in November. I assume the dealership's logic at that time would be to blow out any old inventory still sitting on their lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yayo Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 very true, I guess it's good to have a guarantee with the VIP program though, thanks Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartg Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Even with the vip you might want to try to haggle with them to see if you can do better in the current market, especially on an outgoing model year. Once you present them with your vip creds, your chances of haggling are over. Of course, if your trying to talk them down and they wont budge to invoice or below, and then you hand them your vip papers, they wont be happy with you.

steve44 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (1) Has anyone bought a 2010 subaru legacy under 2% invoice (obviously without using this promo)? Please describe your circumstance in detail so we can all learn the ways. (2) Has anyone seen an unnecessary markup in labor for added on accessories?

LoweDownR Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 This VIP program is great! I bought one of the first (of 6) 2010 Outbacks that my local dealer had last fall. Walked in, asked if they had a fax with my wife's name on it and there was the price, 2% below invoice. Wow. They even gave a great deal on my trade! The Leave No Trace program is the easiest way for most familys to get in. And it's a great cause that most Subaru owners can relate to, a cleaner backcountry experience through education. It's $20 for the year, wait 6 months, then call them (LNT) for the letter to be faxed to your local dealer. Then go to your dealer and ask them if they got the fax. Out comes the invoice. $20 bucks can save you thousands. The dealer did mention that there are diferent levels of discount. +2%, 0%, -2%. He was a bit suprised about the 2% below that I got. I think most may be right at invoice price. My wife is a Veterinarian so we used her membership to the AVMA, it was at the highest level, 2% below invoice. My dealer had no issues with me using the VIP program to buy one from his first 2010 Outback's. I bought the second Outback sold at our dealer. Love my Super-ru! To answer another question from above, I don't think any dealer will offer invoice pricing from haggeling. They are in business to make money. My dealership hadn't had anyone use any VIP deal in months. So I don't think its that common. Go join Leave no Trace! Check it! http://www.lnt.org/programs/subaruVIP.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenryiv1 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Not that LGT members would want to hear this, but I am considerig going to the dark side with a new 2011 WRX. I am not in a hurry, so may want ot take advantage of the VIP program, despite the wait time. With the last post being so old, is the info still accurate?

Please describe your circumstance in detail so we can all learn the ways. (2) Has anyone seen an unnecessary markup in labor for added on accessories? I got my '11 LGT at 2% below dealer invoice without haggling. I simply shopped around for the best price, and then asked local dealers to match it. The best price I was offered was Heuberger out of Colorado--I negotiated a greaaaat price with them, and then showed it to my local dealer. If the local dealer didn't match it, I would simply have purchased from Heuberger and had them ship the car my way. My dealer did, though, agree to match it. I got a $33,900 LGT (with options) for $30,126 delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Apparently, I can buy two vehicles with the VIP program within a 12 month period. Can I give my folks my VIP discount? Same last name, and I would more than likely be there during the sale. I would be using mine in September/October on one of the 2012 models. .

TwoTone Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just emailed dealers and told them about this discount and that if they could beat it I'd buy a car off their lot- got mine for 3% under no haggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your1Legacy Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I work for Heuberger Motors and since we focus on volume, I can usually save clients 4-8% off Invoice price....works out pretty nicely for the buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat_4 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Most dealers will give you invoice price for a new car if they don't, go somewhere else that will there is plenty off them around. Now about deal invoice you can ask to see the dealer invoice and most will show it to you and say this is what we paid for the car. there will be a list of thing like, the price of the car, the destionation charge, the perperation of the vehicle that the dealer does, fuel ect...... now the price of the vehicle and the destonation charge is what the dealer did infact pay they are not lieing to you about that, now the other stuff like prep and fuel the deal pays for so every thing but the price and destonation charge can come off the invoice price. At this point a light should come on and you should think. This is the dealers invoice what they paid for the car and they are about to give me a car for what they paid for it or a littlel less beacuse then need this car gone. but what they arent telling you is the incentives that Corporate Subaru gives to the dealer after they sell the car. So say you go look at a $33,000 LGT and the Dealer invoice says $30,000 (usulaly around 10% less than sticker) when they sell it they send in the paper work to Subaru and get a check back for what ever the incentive is at the time plus remember every thing else on that invoice the dealer had to pay for gets reimbursed like prep and fuel. So the hard thing is to find out what the incentives are for that particular vehicle at that time and give them a fair deal they need to make money or they wont sell and you should always get below invoice.

cooper44 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I can purchase a 2012 Legacy Premium awp with a moon, fog, spoiler, remote starter, moonroof reflector, splash guards for $25,700. Is this a good deal:spin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDPOE Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Not sure, seems a bit high to me, with out doing any research. Not too many sites have the 2012 invoice pricing up yet, but AOL Autos does. You can spec everything out and it will give you the actual invoice and MSRP. I know this because it was dead-on two quotes from dealers using the VIP pricing through Leave No Trace. 2011 invoice is a bit off because the destination charge went up and the Premium level got a $300 increase. I ended up ordering the car I wanted since not too many were available yet. Alternatively, I would definitely encourage contacting Heuberger Motors in CO. They do a TON of out of state business and were actually able to beat the VIP pricing, and that included shipping the car to any location. I can give you an email for my contact there if you PM me. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12legacy3.6 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 ^ one more reason to split that bank into a thousand of tiny little pieces. And why is this? Because most decent employers offer their employees discounts.... hell even when i used to work at Waffle House we would get discounts everywhere.

IllogicalBeetle Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hmm. I might just sign up for Leave No Trace. I doubt I will wait six months to place my order, but I like what they have to say. For 20 bucks I am comfortable with it. I am certainly going to pursue every avenue to save on my order.

riceprotein Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Check out my thread here: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/might-pull-trigger-legacy-premium-185231.html I was able to get a brand new 2012 Legacy Premium 2.5i with AWP, dimming review mirror and all-weather mats for $21,800. After taxes, trade-in ($3,500) and fees, I paid a grand total of $20,000 for the vehicle. The key was I went to a couple dealerships and noticed they had a lot of Legacys sitting on their lots (an Impreza would have cost me more). After a little more research, found out Legacys are not selling well, so I was able to be a little bolder with my negotiation. Once I got one dealer to verbally offer me $21,500, I knew I could probably get that anywhere. The only problem is you're bound to annoy a dealer or two, since they always want you to buy the car when you're talking to them. I brought a quote I got from one dealer, to another dealer and when I showed it to him he said, "What do you hope to accomplish with this?". Long story short, the best time to negotiate is when dealers are sitting on a certain model (might be common sense though).

fredrik94087 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 End of the month is usually best. Believe it or not, on October 30, 2012, I bought a 2013 NOT a 2012, for $1350 below invoice, and I haggled!!!I I got a 2013 2.5i 6mt with tax, license and extended warranty for a whopping $22,060. Another dealer was willing to give me $1500 off invoice on a 2013 2.5i limited, but I really wanted a manual transmission.
