What do you mean by delivery is not an issue? Are you referring to the dealership shipping the car to you or the actual "destination and delivery" charge that is on the window sticker?

Ask for an out the door price to include taxes, title and any other costs. Then you will know if its a good deal.

Invoice on that build is $42,809 so there is prolly still some wiggle room but pretty good deal nonetheless.

Agree. For a Touring with options, pretty good deal (although the caveat is where u live might have an effect since some people here in other states have been able to get below MSRP whereas others like myself can’t find too many dealers who will go below MSRP in Cali.)

Agree with caveat. So far, Dealers in this area (PA) are sticking close to MSRP. It was worth checking out of state if you can make the numbers work.

Hi Guys,

Great topic!!

What do you generally consider a good deal on a car. I preordered a Limited w/ HK/Nav/Moonroof package with a hitch. The dealer at the time of Pre-order was going off of MSRP pricing which was $43K .

I know generally that MSRP is often "disregarded" by many.

Do you basically look at the Invoice and hope to get within a certain percentage or dollar value of the Invoice price?

It has been a few years since I have made a purchase and you guys have brought up a lot of eye opening details on this forum for me

We ordered a limited w/ the hitch and our price here in Vancouver Wa is $37,313.

Who was the dealer offering this price?
I'm also from PA and no one in PA gave me less than the MSRP. So I had to try out of state and found one in VA. Ordered Limited with PK#23. Let me know if you want to try with my dealer. I'm not sure the price I received only for the initial allotment or not, but give it a shot.

Like to try your dealer.

For those in California: the best dealers from a pricing standpoint seem to be:
1) NorCal - Albany Subaru who's basically offering the car at $1000 above invoice (with possibly opportunities to negotiate some more)
2) SoCal/ Central Valley - Bakersfield Subaru who, with negotiations, can be within 2% of invoice (ranges from invoice to about $1000 above invoice). Bakersfield Subaru is willing to ship the car to your house (my pre-order is being shipped to the bay area).

Of course, option 3) would be to purchase the car from one of the ultra competitive dealers that others mentioned on this forum: Illinois (Berman/Grand), Colorado (Heuberger), etc., where you can get the car at or under invoice, but you'll have to pay for shipping of the car: ~$1000-1600 - this offsets a lot of the savings.

DM'd the details.

I'll try our local dealer first when we do pull the trigger on the Ascent. But I also don't mind driving to CO or IL to pick-up the car if these guys present an awesome deal.

So thats including tax, title, license?

All price quotes you'll see on this forum should be BEFORE tax, title, license (TTL).

Even when "Out the Door" is used in the price description ?
