Q.Why should I buy from you?
A.  Straight-forward answers and sales. Upfront pricing with no dealer games and a completely hassle-free experience. (some would say too straight-forward...)

Q. Can I buy from you
A.  Yes, but since Subaru discourages sales more than 200 miles from the selling dealers location (starting 4/1/16) unless you're in an area without a nearby Subaru dealer, so to determine if it makes sense for you to buy from me, I will need your address and zip code.

Q. I'm not sure what model I want. How do I find out?
A. Research the models or call and lets talk about it. Short emails are ok but  I generally prefer the phone for long detailed questions/answers etc Search Inventory

Q.I live far from Seattle and really want to buy locally where I live. Will you still talk to me about prices so I know what to expect from my local dealer?
A.  Yes of course, everyone needs help from time to time. We can talk about prices. Please remember that customer rebates, dealer incentives, and special finance rates vary by region. 
And thanks for being upfront when we talk about not wanting to actually buy from me, it's appreciated, so just let me know what model and price your local dealer is offering and and yes I'll help! It's good karma ...

Q.Fleet sales? But I only want one car...
A.  One car or many, you will still get a low price.

Q Do you ship cars to Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada?
A No. Sorry.

Q.Why are your prices low?
A.  Volume. My prices are based on invoice and dealer incentives so they are extremely low. Almost everything is under invoice! It depends on the supply- when I have a lot of a model the price is lower. When I only have a few the price goes up. 

Q.How do I get a price?
A.  Once you know the model and color choices you want you can email or call though I strongly prefer a phone call because it is much more efficient.

Q.What will my price be? 
A.  Price varies by model, options, and inventory (do I have a car you want?) and of course customer applicable rebates and dealer incentives.

Q.Special interest rates, do I get them?
A.  Yes, of course you get them, check customer special interest rates offered on that model. Canadian customers do not get any rebates.

Q.How do I pay you? Financing or cash...
A.
Financing- your bank or mine. I offer Subaru special interest rates no matter where you live in the US.
Or use your own local bank if you prefer. 
Cash and Checks- Bank checks and direct wire is preferred. Credit cards are accepted up to $500 due to bank fees.

Q.Canada resident buying a US spec car. 
A.  Yes, Canadians looking for pre-owned, lightly used cars are welcomed. 
I sell pre-owned cars cross border but I can help refer you to a dealer that might still sell new ones. 
New cars: starting January 3, 2008 Subaru of America started discouraging dealers from selling new cars to Canada.
Customer rebates and dealer incentives -do not- apply on cross border sales. And it can hurt dealer allocation.
