FAQ:
When Should I Place My Order?:
The average build time for a New Subaru is roughly 8-12 weeks, so you want to allow about 2 months for production time. Depending on the vehicle, it may be pushed ahead and arrive sooner!
Do You Require a Deposit to Order a Vehicle?:
Yes, we take a $500 to order a vehicle. This will be deducted from your purchase price when you pick up the new Subaru. If you decide to cancel the order, the deposit is refundable.
How Do I Know When My Order Will Arrive?:
After placing the order, your salesperson will keep you updated as it moves through production. They will let you know when the order is accepted, where the order is in production, when the vehicle has an ETA, and when the vehicle is in-transit to Ruge's Subaru.
Does It Cost More to Order?:
No! The pricing is the same! In fact, sometimes it's less expensive than taking something in stock, as inventory vehicles are typically equipped with accessories that cannot be removed. Accessories such as; body side moldings, wireless chargers, rear seat back protectors, all-weather mats, etc.!
Can I Lock In Finance/Lease Rates?:
Although Subaru stays fairly consistent with its rates and incentives, the financing and lease rates are determined by the delivery date rather than the time of reservation.
What If My Lease Is Expiring?:
If you decide to do a factory order, but your lease is due within the next month or two, it is often possible to do a lease extension until your order arrives. For questions and additional details - give us a call.
