Question about pre-ordering

anthony · 02-23-2001, 09:56 AM

Need help on this guys,

This afternoon i am stopping buy at Subaru dealer, I had a brief conversation over the phone about "pre-order".
Is it true that Subaru requires U$1,000 deposit and it is non-refundable? I really like to try the car first before put unrefundable downpayment. If I decided to wait for the test drive and pre-order it, will I get the car? the salesman is trying to convince me that they might not have any by that time....

thanks for your help guys......

Anthony

You're being yanked. Subaru doesn't require a deposit, the dealers just ask for what they can get out of you. Do not stand for a non-refundable deposit if you decide to leave one.

Mine was also $500 refundable. Find another dealer.

At Heuberger Motors here in Colorado Springs I had to put $1000 down(which is no biggie) and it is refundable. Got that in writing.

I went to my dealer and put $100 buck's refundable on mine.

hotsam · 02-23-2001, 02:05 PM

My dealer didn't require a deposit.

I just put my $500 down 2 hours ago!

Brahmzy · 02-23-2001, 03:30 PM

Hey Boostfreak,
Are you in the 3rd alotment? When did they tell you you'd get your car?

Thanks for your help guys,

I am back from the dealer, they are getting two WRX approximately on March 12. It is a sedan and wagon, the sedan is white, they insist to have 1,000 non-refundable deposit, I decided not to put one down and maybe waiting to see and test drive the white one that they will have. I am actually looking for blue one, I hope I could get the white one less than MRSP (Cross my finger

) The salesman said that he got a stack of request for WRX from the internet and a lot of people are planning to get this one, but it seems like no one has put the $1,000 non-refundable deposit, it seems like everybody is waiting to drive the car first.....they will call me as soon as the gar get there....

thanks for the help guys....I almost put a non-refundable deposit there

Yup, find another dealer...sounds like those guys may even play the "supply-demand" game and gouge whoever wants the cars most!

Chuck Annicelli · 02-23-2001, 11:01 PM

I ordered 2. 1 dealer I gave a $500. refundable deposit and the other required NO deposit. I will see who gives me the best deal. Both cars are mine but I only need one.
