Just heard the commercial for subaru cars at employee pricing now. I wonder who's next to do it. Sure would like to hear about a new tractor for employee pricing.

Just another sales gimmick, typical GM quasi-fraudulent advertising. Like their low, low monthly payments, then the fine print shows a balloon of Xty thousand on the 36th payment, or 48th, or whatever.
I can buy any Ford product using Ford's X plan, because my employer is a major fleet purchaser, the X plan pricing is @2% over invoice, the Ford A plan, for employees is like one percent over , I just bought a 2005 SuperDuty and my price, if the invoice is to be believed was about $240 over, and I do not think I could have got a better deal by going to the Metroplex, Houston or wherever, plus my local dealer, (in a town of @3500, will remember me when I come back, whether it be the next morning, or 5 years from now). It never fails to amaze me that these people will drive all over hell to save $100, while spending at least that much on gas and time. What I really, really want to know is, how much does it cost Ford, Chrysler, or GM to produce the vehicle in the first place.

You just asked the multi million dollar question. "what does it cost the manufacturer to built an auto?" I have no idea how to get that info, but it is kind of interesting these days when everything else like computers and stereos and tvs keep going down in price yet the automobile keeps going up. Used to be a tool box full of tools would mortgage a house, now you can get those same tools for the change in your pocket.(so to speak) There has to be a huge payout somewhere along the line for an automobile to cost that much. Especially when they're using cheaper and cheaper materials to build them.

If you reverse engineer that does it mean that Subaru employees don't get a special discount so everybody gets the same deal? Ed

I really dont know Farmered. But as I have heard from several friends that have participated in one form or another of these "employee" discounts, the vehicle is'nt supposed to be inventoried at a dealer. I think once its inventoried, it is now subject to the dealerships markup. So now, even though you may get the discount of the dealerships employees, you're not getting the discount of the GM corp employees. At least thats the way I understand it...so far.

Would you like to take a wild shot in the dark as to whom owns Subaru?
