There's a balance between saving money and saving hassle and time. For me, having one less thing to track and manage in my - at the time very high stress and busy life - was worth more than the 2-3K of "savings" :P
Also just to point out - Capitol Subaru was very reasonable, charging MSRP is hardly being "bent over" for a hot ticket item that can go for over MSRP easy, and they have excellent customer service.
I mean ordering mine was really quick - order, deposit, and out the door. Then we test drove it when it came a month or two later just to make sure- could have taken it home that night but they wanted to detail it and do some paper work so we came back two days later and took her home.
Money can be earned back but my time and effort can not.
If I waited- I bet deals were better on the 2013 now that it's closer to year end.
In any case - different people, different circumstances...not so long ago I'd probably have went with whatever saved $$ cus then I had plenty of spare time.
