Just seen a TV advert from Subaru saying if you buy a new Subaru and you get £3000 of fuel for free Shocked Shocked Shocked

Checked there website and it's true! Wonder how long it will be before other car manufacturers take note... and dare i say it... bikes Razz

Click on each car in the link and it tells you how much fuel you get.

Do you think Subaru knew the fuel prices over here before making that offer? Or perhaps it's deliberate with the middle east crisis reducing the number of new car sales?

more likey they made the final price 3k higher then they was going too so they could do this "so called" deal OR they were set to reduce price in 1st place by 3k & thought just give them 3k worth of fuel

Having just spent an hour a night watching american TV I can tell you that a few of the americans are doing this too. One that springs to mind was Ford, which were offering to 'pay for your fuel' for a set amount of time. Very simple when a gallon is a ridiculously low price. Three grand is a lot of fuel even in a subaru though, if the price for the original car isnt hiked through the roof then perhaps it could start a trend?

It says upto so it's probably proportionate to how much extra they are charging you for the car, doubt you will get three grands worth.

Hi

Amount seems to vary with the model of car. With the turbo ones it is £3k and the price doesn't seem to have changed (although the dealers might be less willing to haggle). Probably about enough fuel for 13000 miles (assuming 20mpg).

All the best

The prices have stayed the same though. You might not be able to bargain down the price much so would end up paying the full rrp. But then if you do walk into a subaru dealer and try to reduce the price you would look such a cheap skate! Just 'not done' for that kind of car Wink

I seem to remember rover doing free fuel for a year with any new car in about 2001. Not a new idea.

You get fuel vouchers, but in the advert you get a tanker Wink

2003 actually. Their offer was they would pay for your fuel until 2004 on cars registered before 31st march. Snag was that the offer only came about on 7th March so you didn't have long to buy one. It wasn't succesful as Rover were seen as due to collapse at any time and people don't buy something as expensive as a car on a whim.

Guess it will be from one particular supplier, so Subaru will have paid in advance for the fuel wholesale at a vastly reduced rate, probably will be some dodge meaning they got it tax exempt so are paying buttons for it Laughing

Pegeout is/were doing it with new scooters too.. You probably have to buy the fuel then keep reciepts and get reimbursed. They're counting on everyone losing the reciepts (more than likley!).
