WTF are you loitering in a Subaru dealer for?

Go to allbrandsnew.co.uk and pay a sensible price.

Otherwise it'll lose sooooo much money, they'll have to bury you in it in the end.

I understand how you feel but the dealer is on safe ground because an advert is not a binding offer, in law it is only "an invitation to offer" so they could refuse to sell the car to you and it also covers them for errors in pricing etc. The way it works is:

Advert / Sticker Price = invitation to offer (no obligation to sell)
Buyer makes offer to purchase
Seller accepts or rejects offer

At least you seem to have sorted yourself out elswhere, good luck with your new car
