First of all thanks to everyone that contributes to this forum. Here's my purchase experience.
My wife purchased the family's first Subaru, 2017 Outback a couple years ago. She loves the car. I've really liked it the few times I have been able to drive it! About a year ago I started thinking about replacing my Dodge Durango. At that point there was some hype about the Ascent. So I started watching it and researching all the current close competitors.
A few months ago I finally decided on the Ascent. That lead to a lot of time spent on these forums reading about every detail and opinion. Nothing I came across made me change my mind, so I started looking at local dealers and the inventories over the past several weeks. Finally came across one that made me pull the trigger and purchase.
I felt I was well prepared with all the advice, hints, tricks, and tips I found on these forums.
I was able to quickly and cheaply get the VIP discount by following the advice in this thread:

Get a $500 loyalty coupon from the advice in this thread:

Then save $650 from my local dealer's price on an extended warranty using what I learned in this thread:

We ended up with a limited in Tungsten, hitch, moonroof, and a few other items. Love it so far.
Again, thanks to all of you for contributing to help others out. I appreciate it.
