That's true, but purchase price is only one part of the equation. They can manipulate your trade in value, how much they want for a down payment, and what rate they want to give you, to turn more of a profit on the car. Not to mention ripping you off with accessories, fees, etc. I think it's better to go to a few different dealers and play them against each rather than going all in with one dealer right off the bat. The Subaru may even go for below retail, or below invoice, so it could end up being a better deal.
