Dealer invoice is approximately $27,000 -- so you'd be looking to get the car for some $3,000 less than what they (theoretically) paid for it. The guys up in the Northeast are largely doing well to get invoice pricing, to do $3,000 better than that, would be unheard of; and I would say virtually impossible. All the negotiation in the world isn't going to get someone to take a bath on the car; not for a good long time and that car has been sitting a LONG time, would they even consider losing a dime, let alone thousands. They'd transfer the car to someone else that could sell it before they'd take that kind of hit.

Clint can sell his cars for $1,300 under "invoice" only because they're the largest Subaru dealer in the country and, as a result of that, can get pricing and allocation that no one else can get. Plus they want to keep that record. No dealer in PA is buying cars from Subaru for the same pricing, so no way they can even match his pricing, let alone throw a couple more grand on top of it.

Gotcha, my overall goal is to not pay more than MSRP OTD. I may be a little too optimistic here, but I hate being robbed by dealerships.
