The car is no longer at Irvine Subaru. I went to check it out last night and they said it went back to corporate to be sent to another dealer.

I can only speak from experience with the new '12 Impreza, but each dealership got to have that on display for 2-3 days before it moved on. I'm not surprised.

Wonder where the car is now - I was going to head down to Irvine to check it out

Hey guys, I'm hoping you guys can help me out here. What does "$xxx above invoice" mean? I don't understand how come an increased price would make it a good deal/ logical. This will be my first new car purchase, so go easy on me

Thx!!

Invoice is the price that a dealer pays for the car, plus usually there is a "holdback" which is a guaranteed amount of money for the dealer to keep. The amount over invoice + the holdback is the dealer's profit on the sale (they can also make money on financing and sales of traded in cars). Generally MSRP is set $1000-2000 above invoice, so if you get a deal for invoice you can save a few grand.

You can look up the invoice price on edmunds.com or truecar.com, once the car is on sale, and then use that to negotiate with your dealer.

Which basically means let's say

MSRP: $30,000
Invoice: $27,000
Invoice + $300 = $27,300 is still a hell of a deal, especially since there will most likely be a dealer markup in addition to the MSRP. Though I might be wrong about that part.

Thanks guys! Great explanation! Now I understand that coupon that was sent to me for "$10 above invoice" for a set of tires at my local Honda dealership lol. The whole time I thought it was a misprint and shouldve been "under" instead of "over" lolzz.
