[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^^ I did the same when purchasing my Subaru Outback. I knew which model outback I wanted and which options. I was flexible on 3 colors.

I emailed the local Subaru dealers and asked for the out the door price (sales price, taxes, registration, etc).  It came down to Farrish and Stohlman - both were within $500 and Stohlman had the color combo I wanted.

I had my own financing so I showed up, test drive the car again and presented the email offer. All I had to do was write the check and wait on dealer to process the paperwork. Super easy and very non-confrontational. I'm a single mom and this helped minimize, for me, the hassle of negotiating on the spot.

I service my car at another Subaru dealer and they were impressed with my final OTD price. [/quote]

I did something similar.  Signed up for email alerts on internet sales. Was notified by several Subaru dealers when that model was on sale. I already had a trade in price from carMax (which the Subaru dealer beat, by the way, OP).   I also signed up for some service that showed lowest prices in the region and I printed that off and took it in. Had my own financing.  The time spent in the dealer was the shortest I’ve ever done.   And the price was slightly under the average in the region.  Did I get the best price? I don’t know. But I got a good one. [/quote]
