Replying to: sgloon (Mar 07, 2009 11:59 am) So, getting back $17,500 means my cost to use the vehicle for one year was around $9500 for the 34k miles I put on it. Major maintenance ($200 and $400) was paid for by Subaru Bucks (same dealer has Subaru Dealership and they allowed me to use them. Plus, I am using another $1200 in Subaru Bucks on the new purchase & I will continue to earn enough this year to be able to pay for major maintenance on the vehicle. I had purchased a 100k 5 year extended warranty for Nissan for $1400 and I expect I will get back around $900. Not sure if I will get another one for this vehicle. Did you get one?? Overall was very pleased to get the vehicle I wanted for $26,000 with the list approaching $30,000. My purchase price has to be at least $1000 less than invoice.

We had one rattle but traced it to some empty CD cases in the passenger door pocket. It could be lined to prevent that, but at least it wasn't the vehicle itself rattling. I wedged some papers next to the CD cases and it's quiet. We're quite happy with ours so far, no regrets at all. We also used Subaru Bucks, I think $1600 or so, I forget exactly. I have another $300 saved up, I guess I could pay for the 30k and 60k service and get those for free as well.

Replying to: ateixeira (Mar 10, 2009 7:31 am) I will miss my Altima Hybrid as with the 20 gallon tank could easily go well over 600 miles (once 690) Hoping with this vehicle to average 26 or so, with 17 gallon tank if I run it almost dry expect around 425 miles. Will report back tomorrow. Best thing so far.... The bluetooth works much better on this car than it did in the Altima. I could hear fine both vehicles, but the mike on the Nissan must have been up near the rear view mirror & picked up too much background noise, mike on this mounded right on top of steering wheel. I believe I have earned more Subaru bucks than just about anyone out there. Since I purchased 05 Outback in Dec 04, I have earned over $6000 in Subaru bucks. This is a true story. I travel for work and although get many expenses reimbursed, use the Subaru cards for most other purchases (except for drug stores, supermarkets and gas stations where there are plenty of cards that pay 5%). I have three cards that I rotate during the year and after I max out one card go to another. In fact, in purchasing this car today, gave $1000 deposit on my card, then paid for extended warranty ($1295) with it. That;s $2300 so already earned $69 for the 3% back. I used 12 Subaru bucks for the purchase today so you can see I am well on my way to getting more. I figure major services for this vehicle will be around $600 - $700 for the year (I drive around 30 - 35k per year so one minor service at 15,000 and a major one at 30,000) I will easily earn enough "bucks" to pay for these services when they are due. This way I will have dealer provide all maintenance, thus "tires for life" and double the powertrain warranty. Big deal if I pay a few more dollars for the oil changes.
