Request received.

Spec, out-the-door number, and walk-around video โ€” within the hour, 9amโ€“9pm PT.

Data > Vibes.

The traditional dealership process is optimized to keep you in the building. This one's optimized to keep you at your desk until there's a decision worth driving for.

The Whole Number, In Writing

Out-the-door price โ€” vehicle, doc fee, taxes, registration, every current incentive that stacks โ€” itemized, in writing, before you show up. If the number changes when you arrive, you walk. It won't.

No hidden variables

Real Spec Transparency

Trim-by-trim feature deltas, drivetrain differences, EyeSight generations, what's actually in the package versus what the brochure implies. Want to go deep on the boxer engine or symmetrical AWD versus Haldex-style systems? Genuinely happy to.

Ask anything. Get the real answer.

Async By Default

Walk-around video of the exact car, texted to you. Numbers by email. Questions answered in threads, not phone tag. Your only required in-person time is the test drive and one signing โ€” about 20 minutes.

Your sprint stays intact

No, There's No "Engineer Discount."

Subaru runs VIP programs for educators, military, and healthcare professionals. There is no engineer program โ€” and we're not going to invent one to get you in the door. Here's what you get instead, which is worth more:

What We Refuse To Do

  • Invent a discount that doesn't exist
  • Quote a teaser price that grows in the back room
  • Pressure you with "another buyer is looking at it" theater
  • Pretend a package has features it doesn't

What You Actually Get

  • Every current factory and retailer incentive you qualify for, found and stacked
  • A process with no hidden state โ€” the number you see is the number you sign
  • Factory-order support for exact trim/color/option builds
  • New-vs-used math run both ways, honestly

If your employer or household includes someone who qualifies for a real Subaru VIP program, we'll tell you โ€” and use the biggest one that applies.

Questions People Actually Ask.

Straight answers about the program, the paperwork, and the car.

Is there a Subaru discount for engineers?

No, and we're not going to invent one to get you in the door. Subaru runs VIP programs for educators, military and healthcare professionals โ€” there is no engineer program. What you get instead is every current factory and retailer incentive you actually qualify for, found and stacked, with the math shown to you.

Can I get out-the-door Subaru pricing in writing before I visit?

Yes, and it's the whole model here. Vehicle, doc fee, taxes, registration and every current incentive that stacks โ€” itemized, in writing, before you show up. If the number changes when you arrive, you walk. It won't. There's no hidden state in the process and no teaser price that grows in a back room.

Can I buy a Subaru without spending a day at the dealership?

Yes. Async by default: a walk-around video of the exact car texted to you, numbers by email, questions answered in threads rather than phone tag. Your only required in-person time is the test drive and one signing โ€” roughly 20 minutes. The traditional process is optimized to keep you in the building; this one isn't.

Can you explain the actual technical differences between Subaru trims?

Genuinely happy to. Trim-by-trim feature deltas, drivetrain differences, EyeSight generations, and what's actually in a package versus what the brochure implies. If you want to go deep on the boxer engine or on symmetrical AWD versus Haldex-style on-demand systems, that's a conversation we enjoy rather than deflect.

Question not here? Text it to us โ€” real person, real reply, within the hour, 9amโ€“9pm PT.
