Subaru Online Price Calculator Goes Live
 |
BAULKHAM HILLS - AUSTRALIA - August 27, 2009: Subaru has launched its online vehicle price calculator at www.subaru.com.au, developed in response to the Federal Government’s clarity in pricing legislation.
It is designed to conform with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) requirement that any advertised price contains all quantifiable costs involved in the purchase of a vehicle in a single figure.
The calculator is one of the first in Australia, and allows private customers to obtain a recommended retail driveaway price (RRP) estimate based on their personal location.
Easy to use, it works by the customer simply entering their postcode - from here, the price calculator generates an estimated RRP that includes:
To build the RRPs, Subaru Australia assumed an estimated dealer delivery charge, based on what Subaru Retailers are charging in each region.
The stamp duty charge in the individual state or territory was then added, plus registration fees (based on a private purchaser) and an estimate of CTP costs (some states combine both in their registration).
To ensure the price calculator remains up to date, Subaru will continue to regularly survey dealer delivery charges, as well as any changes in CTP insurance charges, duties and other elements, and update these as and when necessary.
The following legal disclaimer accompanies the prices:
Price is the manufacturer’s recommended retail driveaway price (RRP) and includes the vehicle price, 12 months registration, stamp duty, luxury car tax (if applicable), CTP insurance cost estimate (based on private purchaser with good driving record) and a recommended charge for dealer delivery. The quoted RRP is an estimate based on the postcode selected by you, and is not applicable to business or government buyers. Final on road costs may vary according to individual circumstances and actual driveaway price may vary between Retailers. Ask your Retailer for confirmation of their driveaway price.
The RRPs generated by the calculator are an estimate only and customers are advised to confirm final driveaway prices with their closest authorised Subaru Retailer.
The Subaru online price calculator can be found on the model pages of the Subaru Australia website www.subaru.com.au.
