On the Subaru front, I got a copy of the window sticker via email. $38,094 MSRP. Includes option package 23 (Eyesight, Nav, sunroof), body side moldings, popular package 5 (rear bumper cover, splash guards, all weather mats, seat back protectors, rear view mirror with blind spot), rear bumper underguard, rear cargo net and wheel lock kit.
TMV shows $35,175. Dealer has a $499 doc fee. $34,000 as my opening offer?

The Turbo 4 Motor is nothing to sneeze at either. No it doesn't have the cache of the 5.0 badge, but it does have a lighter nose and a lower price of entry. You can still get the track pack and a 6 speed stick too.

I agree that there aren't many 3.6R's made, so that may negate my leverage. On the other hand, it's a quick sale if the numbers work out right - a skinny deal, but a quick one.

The only thing that I'm worried about is the timing ... all the current incentives expire on Monday; our car is expected to be at the dealer on Tuesday. Edmunds probably won't have the new documents until later in the week. Here's hoping the numbers don't change.

Had someone come out today to run a scope and the problem was pretty clear, where the sewer line under our driveway doesn't have a proper grade.
$5,000 to get it fixed! On a 4 year old home!
I'm gonna speak with the builder, but don't hold out much hope on that front.

Invoice is $35,016 per Edmunds. There is $500 lease cash that ends 3/2/15, but I'm not sure I will lease. 2% back of that is $34,316. Don't know what holdback is for Subaru, but I may be asking for some of that money with my offer.

Mike ................34k is a solid offer for both dealer and you. I'm in the process of buying 2 Forester's either in NY or NJ in the next couple of days. . Pricing on the Forester should be tight on this model . Subaru makes it very hard to get exactly what you want in your model with all there broken up packages and items added or not added. I was on a local dealers lot and cant believe how these vehicles come in. Even dealers don't know.
FYI : Make it clear to all selling dealership. No window Etching usually $199 and No Appearance pk priced at 595 to 650 dollars. ( paper pin stripe, spray guard on seats, etc ) A lot of dealers in my area have them on every model.
700 to 1000 below dealers invoice after taking dealers doc fee into consideration ( $499) is a top deal right now on your model. There are no incentives unless you lease
If dealer wont go for the 34k counter price with Oil changes / added Accessories. Outback's production is limited and I would assume a Outback sold in your state harder than others.
I really like the Outback The bigger engine is a better choice.

You are right about availability - the dealer closest to us didn't have an Outback 3.6R on the lot for us to test drive, so we moved on to the next closest dealer. Who not only had one equipped the way we wanted to evaluate, but had one coming that was the exact color the wife wanted, with the correct option groups.

Have you contacted Kingery Subaru in Rye (Westchester)? They advertise in the paper every week and must be hungry for volume business. Foresters too don't seem to have the supply problem that the Legacys & Outbacks have.
2001 Prelude Type SH, 2022 Highlander XLE AWD, 2022 Wrangler Sahara 4Xe, 2023 Toyota Tacoma SR 4WD
Agreed a lot more Foresters than Legacy's & Outback's. I must of counted 20 Foresters on one dealers lot. Very few Legacy's and 2 Outback's.
Thanks for the heads up.
I will give Kingery a call in a few days.

Then I got to thinking that a couple of times when cranking it seemed like it was doing so a little slower than usual but since push button start is still relatively new to me I wasn't sure that was so unusual. Could be the car was just delivered with a weak battery and maybe that's the reason for the clock problem. Dealer is sending a tech to my house tomorrow to swap a new battery in.

I came across an interesting VW for you last night, but now can't find it.
I really really want to hold off on the volvo till Oct. I just can't stop myself from looking, of course. The color combo is so freakin sweet. Don't know if she would dig it, though. I think her ideal may be blue with brown leather. Have not run across that combo yet, though. Only thing that orange one seems to be missing is the navi.

Modern cars are pretty tough on batteries. They have many constant-draw items in them these days, and batteries are still typically just starting batteries (e.g., not deep cycle units). If your wife doesn't drive it for long periods of time (a few miles here, stop, a few miles there, stop, etc.), it is quite likely that the battery is getting drawn down.
A good long-term solution is to install a trickle charger in the car (Alaskan style!) with the plug sticking out of the grille. Then, you just pick a day of the week, like Friday night when you get home, and plug it in. Easy to remember, and the weekly overnight charge will keep the battery in top shape.
Q, does your wife have a preference of sedan vs. wagon? I think your S70 is a wagon, isn't it? I'm just curious if she would find the drawbacks of a sedan's space restrictions unsuitable over time.
Pontiac was supposed to be the "performance" division of GM, but I'm not sure they wore that distinction very well, at least in terms of handling.
