I've been looking all over California for an Ascent Limited 8-seat, non-navigation (#21 trim). I wanted the interior upgrades, but I don't care for the 20" wheels. I found a few Limiteds without navigation. But I have only found 2 without any accessories and one happened to be in the color I wanted. I put a hold on it weeks ago and just purchased this week at PHS in East LA.
MSRP Is $39,970 for Limited #21 (compared to $42,920 with navigation, #23). The limited #21 is basically the same price as many of the Premium trims. I got the vehicle for $38,389. We also used $500 from Subaru loyalty. Tax is 7.75% where I live and the document fees were a few hundred. So I feel like it was a great deal. Everything I wanted, nothing I didn't (within the realm of possibility).
I'm happy I found that Unicorn of a Limited with no option/accessory packages since a typical Limited goes for $43,496 here in Southern California. I had slim luck talking down from MSRP with many other dealers.
I'll be getting the cargo cover, trunk and 3rd row back tray/covers and more for a big discount from the local sales department. Only sending ~$300 compared to $900 for a "popular package".
It boggles my mind that almost every limited comes with $3000 navigation package in 2018 when you can just use AA/ACP for navigation. I know some people like the moonroof (in navigation package) but it's just another component to fail and we only used the sunroof twice on our old Forester.
Anyway, just writing to let you guys know what trim options are possible if you search for it. Good luck to everyone in their search for a deal.
