How all this affects prices we pay by ateixeira

Track is the distance between the center of the left and right wheel on each axle. Wider is generally better, and the 2005s are wider at the front and rear axle.
 
Clearance refers to how much space between the ground and the undercarriage. 2005 Outbacks have more, i.e. they got a slight lift. For rollovers that's bad, but they mounted the engine lower and use aluminum for the hood and roof rails to compensate.
 
Putting lighter materials up high lowers the center of gravity compared to the 2004s. But it costs more.
 
That's also one of the reasons the prices paid are a little higher for 2005. Does that bring this back on topic?

2005 Price? by fdr1371

Hi everyone. First time Subi shopping. Just got a quote from a dealer in MN for a 2005 Forester XS (manual transmission).
 
This is what I got regarding the XS trim: "monotone exterior paint, power windows, power locks, power driver's seat, & power mirrors, abs, all wheel drive, cruise, tilt, air, am/fm/6 disc cd changer/radio, auto climate control, air filtration system, dual side & front airbags, cargo cover, fog lights, carpeted floor mats, alloy wheels, upholstery upgrade, all weather package (includes heated seats, heated outside mirrors, & windshield wiper de-icer), & limited slip rear differential. This vehicle also has the following options: cargo tray, bumper cover, and splash guards."
 
$22,243 before $1,500 cash-back. I would assume since the vehicle is financed - that negates the cash-back. Probably before tax and licenses I suppose?
 
So that looks like about $23,700 after those little gems?
 
Can anybody tell me if this is a decent deal? No mention of trade in yet.
 
Thanks to anyone and everyone.

That is a decent price. Here is the deal I got last month, 2005 Forester XS auto, with auto dimm mirror and winter package(de-icer, heated seats and mirrors, splash guards, rear bumper cover, cargo tray). 21000 after 1750 cash-back. You may be able squeeze a little further if there are competing dealers in your area.

Crazy! by ateixeira

That's nuts! I paid $19.2k way back in 1998. How can you get a new one with all the enhancements since then for that much less?
 
Crazy indeed.

Buying under the Subaru Partner Program by herbv1

Has anyone used the Subaru Partners program to buy a new Subaru at a good factory price. You have to be a member of one of these organizations for a period of time - 6 mos I believe. The partners list is at: http://www.subaru.com/outdoorlife/partners.jsp
 
The best price I have so far from my local dealer in Eastern NC is $22,500 (before taxes).
 
Cheers,
Herb
