About Chris

I learned about geographic differences in new car retail prices and inventory levels while helping new car dealers trade vehicles with each other. I drive a 2018 STI and love the brand, so I put this weekly newsletter together to help others know where to get a great deal on a new Subaru.

Analysis

Hot Markets 🔥

The Boston metro area continued to have the most deals on new Subarus across trim levels this week - on every model except the WRX.

National Inventory Levels 👀

National inventory levels remained pretty steady this week across trim levels, with one major exception…

Either my data collection was way off last week or Base level Foresters saw a week over week +800% increase in inventory across the country.

I can say that other Forester trim levels saw reasonable inventory increases over the previous week. We’re talking 1% to 2%, while other models stayed flat or lost inventory week over week.

Model Watch 💰️

Outback deals all seem to be below Subaru’s starting suggested MSRP.
