Does anyone have any experience using the IMBA Subaru discount program? www.imba.com/membership/individual/benefits/subaru-vip-programStella and I NEED to become a 2 car family and quick, having just one car and mismatched work hours is getting to be a pain. I have written to IMBA and am waiting for Subaru to send me my eligibility letter and notify the dealer. If anyone out there has used the program I am curious as to how much you actually saved??

We have used it, although I don't remember how much it saved us (although if I were an accountant like BV I bet I would). I think it was about $1000 but I am not sure.

Well Subaru sent me the VIP program letter. The discount is equal to the dealers invoice price minus 2%, plus what ever accessories the dealer has added after delivery.(also discounted in the estimate I looked at). All told it is a savings of $3089 off of the sticker price on the car. Not bad!!
99% sure we are gonna do it, just need to get Stella to the dealership to also test drive the car.
$50 yearly IMBA/SORBA membership saves $3089, AWESOME.

Well .. loving the Subaru so far.
Now I am looking for a roof rack tray to carry the bike Upright, Fork mount is kind of a pain in the butt with the lefty. The car has factory cross rails so Alls I need is the tray and mounting hardware, I've been searching around town and online for a bargain or even used but I have had no luck. If anyone out there has a used carrier they want to get rid of please let me know.

Ask around on the main SORBA boards Buy/Sell section, might have better luck finding something there.
