INTRODUCTION
The VIP Partners Program is a Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) corporate
program offering members of the Colorado Tennis Association the opportunity to
purchase or lease new Subaru vehicles at special VIP Pricing through
participating Subaru dealerships.
ELIGIBILITY
Any VIP Partners customer must be an active member of Colorado Tennis
Association for a minimum of 6 consecutive months. VIP dealer visit
authorization forms are issued only to eligible affiliate members and their
spouse or domestic partner residing in the same household (address verification
required).
The VIP Partners Program offer is non-transferable and does not extend to the
member's relatives such as parents, siblings, children, etc.
VIP Partners customers are limited to two (2) new vehicles within a 12-month
time period.
The Dealer Visit Authorization form does not obligate the member to purchase or
lease a new Subaru; it does, however, inform the dealership that the member is
entitled to VIP pricing.
PROCEDURES
To participate in the VIP Program:
Colorado Tennis Association members must receive an approved VIP Dealer Visit
Authorization form PRIOR to contacting a participating Subaru dealer.
Members must contact the Colorado Tennis Association membership services office
at 303.695.4116 ext 201 to request a dealer visit authorization form.
The membership office will verify the customer's membership status.
Member will be asked their name, membership ID number, address, telephone number
and choice of participating dealer.
Upon receipt, SOA will mail the SOA approved Dealer Visit Authorization form
directly to the Colorado Tennis Association member. As an introduction to the
dealer, SOA will also fax a copy of the Dealer Visit Authorization form directly
to the dealer. The authorization form is non-transferable and will expire in 45
days from the date of the letter. The member must take the form to the
participating dealer indicated on the form. We ask that the member wait until
the form is received before visiting Subaru dealers. The form must be presented
to the participating dealer contact person (Noted on the Dealer Authorization
form) upon entry into the dealership.

DEALER SELECTION
VIP customers select the dealer of their choice, generally based upon
customer proximity and convenient servicing. Should the customer not have a
dealer preference, SOA will select the closest participating dealer based on the
customer's zip code. Customers may visit the Subaru website at www.Subaru.com to
locate their closest dealer.
All VIP sales must be conducted by an authorized and participating Subaru
dealer. The VIP Program is available in all states except Hawaii.
PRICING
VIP pricing for purchase and lease transaction will result in substantial
savings for the vehicle and factory installed accessories as delivered to the
dealer by SOA. This is the non-negotiable base price for all customers with
proper VIP Program authorization. The VIP price is further reduced by all
applicable regional dealer or customer incentives.
The special pricing under the VIP program is non-transferable and cannot be
combined with any other Subaru of America, Inc. promotional offers, coupons
(such as auto show or internet coupons) or direct mail offers or vouchers
(except Subaru MasterCard-points).
The VIP Partners customer will be responsible for all applicable federal, state
and local taxes and license and municipality registration fees. Any customary
dealer administrative, advertising and/or trade fees are additional.
LEASING
Lease pricing is also available based on VIP Pricing and can be structured
with a zero down payment for applicants with an acceptable credit history. A
security deposit and first month's payment in advance may be required.
ACCESSORY PRICING
For accessories that are added to the vehicle at the factory, VIP Pricing
will apply. The dealer will determine the price of any accessories that are
added after the vehicle has arrived at the dealership, as the dealer will incur
procurement and labor costs to obtain and install such accessories.

VEHICLE AVAILABILITY
All new Subaru models are included in the VIP Program, subject to
availability and dealer discretion. At the dealer's election, the Subaru vehicle
may be secured from the dealer's new vehicle inventory or ordered from SOA. From
time to time, new models may be temporarily held from the VIP Program until
dealer inventories are sufficient to accommodate VIP customers.
New Subaru vehicles are those never titled, not previously reported sold and
generally have less than 100 miles.
TRADE-INS
Generally, most dealers will accept trade-ins. The participating dealer
determines the value of the trade. As you are purchasing or leasing a new
vehicle at the VIP Price, you should expect no more than a wholesale offer for
your trade. VIP customers with trades should consider the benefit of selling
their trade privately.
FINANCING
Financing arrangements, if any, will be determined in the usual manner with
the dealer and will be subject to the standard credit approval practices at the
dealership. From time to time, SOA does offer low rate financing on select
Subaru models.
VIP customers are eligible to take advantage of any special low rate financing
offers in effect at the time of purchase should they be available.
SUBARU ADDED SECURITY
The cost of Subaru Added Security contracts will be determined by the
dealership and agreed to jointly by the participating dealer and the VIP
Partners customer.
DISCLAIMERS
The special VIP Partners pricing does not apply to sales made prior to
receipt of the approved dealer visit authorization form.
In order to obtain VIP Partners pricing, the member must follow the procedures
as outlined herein by possessing a VIP Partners Authorization Form upon entering
the dealership. It is not the intention or purpose of the program to interfere
with any pricing negotiations currently underway between a dealership and a
customer who has previously visited the dealer without the form. In such
situations, the VIP Partners Program does not apply.
Participation in the VIP program recognizes the relationship between Subaru of
America, Inc. and the VIP participant. Inclusion in the program is a privilege
and accordingly, at its sole discretion, Subaru of America, Inc. may at any time
exclude an individual from the VIP program.
VIP Partners Program will remain in effect until such time as modified by SOA.

privately.
