What does this subject mean? That is the license plate for the 2010 Subaru Outback I picked up today!

Yes, the car came in and the dealer had it all ready for me this afternoon. First off I have to say Profile Subaru is wonderful! For a car they did not sell - they only get their dealer prep costs covered - they did everything possible to make sure the car was ready to be delivered - full tank of gas - got it registered - gave the car a wash - and then spent over a hour making sure I knew everything button, switch, touch screen option. well, this car came with options they had never seen before - so, we were learning together.

Congratulations Brad! The picture of you getting the keys with you and the manager wearing contrasting STP fleeces is a nice touch. Did he have his own or was the black one yours from last year?

Ah, another Suby owner. The first new car I ever bought and the first Suby I have every owned is my current 06 WRX Wagon. It's unstoppable in the snow!

Sounds like you have yourself an awesome vehicle there! 24 mpg before the motor is even broken in, and in cold weather is pretty good. Enjoy!

Mark,

The dealer manager has a MWO-Subaru jacket. I am not sure who organization gave it to him, but he wears it all the time. He is a great MWO supporter - has Subaru VIP forms for MWO folks right on his desk.

The dealership just turned on a cool service bay. when you drive in for service you drive right to a garage door - it opens and you drive in. So, you get out of the car inside the building out of the cold, rain or snow. Then the car goes through a set of tests which include brakes, suspension and alignment while you are checking the car in. There is no charge for these tests. They talk in terms of how long it will take to get all their customers' cars through the tests.

Plus, the whole facility has wi-fi which I like.

Congrats Brad. Great to know there are still some nice car dealerships out there. I am sure you will be putting some miles on the Suby. What a great Christmas present. Enjoy.

Congratulations Brad! Good luck with your new Suby! It sure is fully loaded with options. Have fun driving it through the snowy mountains this winter.
