Longitude Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hi all. I may be in the market in the near future for a Legacy GT and want to know where everyone got their car and if possible for what price. Thanks in advance for any information. --Long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Thousand Oaks Subaru, Norm Reeves Subaru in Temecula, and Irvine Subaru are three good dealers that come to mind. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 See Desiree (the owner) or Jeremy (her son) at Irvine Subaru for great deals. Ordered mine from them in November and picked it up in January for dealer invoice - dealer holdback. Right now it's dealer invoice - dealer holdback - $1500 incentive cash so do the deal soon if you want to get in on it. I think the only proviso is that it has to be from dealer stock so keep that in mind. Norm Reeves in Temecula and Thousand Oaks Subaru do similar deals but if you see Irvine last, you'll get the best deal, guaranteed. Nobody does the volume that Irvine does so they really work with you to make it a hassle-free great buying experience. And, they do free oil changes for life too.

Rommel Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 call Reza at Santa Monica Subaru or PM him, his SN is rezalaleh he's in this boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illt3ck Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Thousand Oaks, no doubt about it. Bought my car, absolutely no hassle from Zeb @ Thousand Oaks. Best dealership experience I've ever had when buying a new car. I would not recommend visiting Irvine Subaru at all costs however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 illt3ck, care to explain? I think when dealing with the owner Desiree or her son Jeremy, you will not get a bad experience. When I visited the dealership, a fellow named Tom Fukanaga was my salesperson and he treated my dad and I well. It'd be good to have a heads up for those of us who want to know what to watch out for. -Ben -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I'll save the trouble for you. I remember you had a post from a while ago: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8810. I think many of the good ratings from Irvine Subaru are from experiences the owner Desiree and her son Jeremy. Anyways, maybe I'm just trying to suck up for Irvine Subaru. Every dealership has its good and bad experiences. All three dealerships mentioned above are still highly rated, though. For Thousand Oaks Subaru, speak to Reza, for Irvine Subaru, speak to Desiree or Jeremy, for Norm Reeves Subaru, I have no idea who to speak to . -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 For Thousand Oaks Subaru, speak to Reza, Reza works for Santa Monica Subaru, not TO. I've had a positive experience at TO buying my fiancee Mazda6, and I'll also toss in San Bernadino Subaru as a good dealer. Got my LGT there for as good a deal as anyone got when I was buying. An outstanding buying experience. Talk to Carl Huston there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 jkjk! Santa Monica Subaru is good, too, then. Accidentally skipped over the part where Rommel said Santa Monica Subaru. My bad guys! -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meathead Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Second Irvine Subaru. 2005 LGT 5EAT - loaded $28,500 - no down. I worked with Jeremy and got the car tinted before I picked it up. Also, got free oil changes for life of the car. Fun people too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbacis Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I also got mine at Irvine. Right around $25K for a non-Ltd with lots of add-ons. I worked with Desiree vai email and over the phone and she offered the best deal with no BS. The guys over at Bob Baker in Carlsbad came really close in price though and seemed just a tad bit more friendly. Desiree was nice, but came across as always being very busy and not overly concerned whether or not I bought from them. Almost like they were doing me a favor, making it clear that they weren't making any money on the sale. I like the "no-hassle" method of dealing, but I also like to be given the impression my particular deal is their top priority and not just another step towards meeting their sales goal. In comparison though, this purchase was a dream compared to our experience with Saturn a few years back. And they're supposed to be know for their customer service. I guess overall negotiating the sale of a car is not fun for me, Irvine made it relatively painless and left me confident that I got a great price.

Legasee Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 give Reza at Santa Monica Subaru a call before you sign....you won't lose anything and might save a few g's while you are at it! In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC GT Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 If you buy from Irvine, don't let the finance manager's breasts convince you to buy any of the extra crap like undercoating, extended warranty, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Sorry to say this but, Irvine.....good to you when you buy, but after sale service is....sad...(a few can agree with me on this....)....gave me a rediculous deal as a returning customer In Taiwan now...

iyamdman Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 See Desiree (the owner) or Jeremy (her son) at Irvine Subaru for great deals. I can second this. Actually - negotiated and sealed the deal in 3 emails. Got the price I wanted, the rate I wanted, and got to look at the Finance Managers breasts. What more can you ask for??? I have not had any after sales service issues with them, but looking forward to my first free oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illt3ck Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Since my grievances with Irvine have been adequately described I will concentrate more on how great of an experience I had at Thousand Oaks. I worked directly with John & Zeb in their internet sales department and within a couple e-mails and 30 minutes at the dealership I was driving away in the exact car I wanted at the best price in Southern California. They also gave me the most for my trade in as well. Thousand Oaks is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longitude Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Thanks all for the information! Hopefully when I'm ready to shop for a LGT, I'll end up with a good deal and officially be one of the Legacy owners. --Long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
