Buying a new car right now is hard - should I consider this?

I looked into ASPCA VIP pricing for a Crosstrek about 6 weeks ago and dealer told me definitely not. Of course, YMMV depending on dealer and inventory.

I’m particularly interested in the Audi (or other luxury brands) because the warranty will still be valid for me. I drive about 18K miles per year (our other car is electric so mine is our “trip” car), so I estimate that I will hit the mileage limit of the factory warranty before the time limit. Based on my monthly mileage, I’d be at 56K miles on this vehicle after three years.

See if they will sell it to you CPO. Believe it is an extra year of warranty with unlimited miles during that year.

I wonder if it’s dependent on order vs in stock? When I ordered my Crosstrek a few months ago, had no issues using aspca pin for invoice.

Perhaps, we waited way to long to get a second car than needed one within 10 days. So I only asked about in stock units

The delta between sticker and invoice on a Subaru is pretty small anyway, right?

[JPGR]

I think its about 6%

I called my local Subaru dealer several days back and specifically asked about the ASPCA donation for 2% below invoice. they told me a Subaru dealer has to honor the vip pricing or they get in big trouble. he did tell me there were 2 ASPCA programs. one was at invoice and the other 2% below. so proceed accordingly

@DUANEFLETCHER

here were 2 ASPCA programs

Which is which?

I just did ASPCA VIP program recently and the dealership honored it. I did have to make the donation first to generate the form for them to look over first though.
