It's a poorly-written description on the Toyota web site. The disengagement over 25mph is only for the Manual Lock mode, where torque is locked to drive all wheels at once. The vehicle is actually "AWD" above 25mph (well, reactive AWD, part-time AWD, whatever you want to call it).
 
If driving above 25mph during normal cruising, the system will still, supposedly, send torque to the rears upon slippage. How quickly, how much, no one really knows but toyota.
 
Here's a better quote describing the 25mph limit applying to the Lock mode:
 
"A 4WD manual locking switch will disengage the auto mode, maximizing torque distribution to the rear wheels. When the vehicle speed reaches 25 mph the Lock mode will disengage, reverting back to Auto mode. The Lock mode also disengages when the brakes are engaged, optimizing ABS and VSC."

Subaru auctions off a few cars that have been damaged by windstorms. Full factory warranty except for the paint. Look for small chips and nicks.

I just picked up an Outback 2.5i a/t with only the all-weather mats and cargo net as options. OTD price (incl. D.C. tax, tags, fees) was $23,400 approx. from Fitzmall in Rockville, MD. This is the Fitzmall "value price" ($367 above the "internet" price) which gives discounts on some service and a number of free oil changes plus a free loaner car for life when serviced there. The latter was my add-on and is not pushed on you by sales force (at least not too hard).
 
Very good experience, great car. got the Atlantic blue. Also got the 2.9% financing and wish I could have afforded to do the 2-year financing at 0%, but all in all a great deal. Subaru has great incentives on a great car right now and Fitzmall. Highly recommended. Also thanks to the forum, which I used for weeks to track prices and do research. A great resource for consumers.
 
Also, salesman told me he does not work on commission. True? But there does seem to be a commission-like system based on customer satisfaction, apparently.

Buying A Used Outback by bemidjigreen

I am in the market for a used outback and really like the 2005/2006 version of it. I've been offered some great deals on a new 2006, but the payment is a bit more than I want.
 
I've seen quite a few used 2005/2006 outbacks listed on autotrader and cars.com in the Minneapolis area thar are below Bluebook...alot below it in some cases. After doing a carfax on them, they appear to be former rental cars.
 
Should I steer clear of these vehicles or are they worth looking into. I intend to have the car inspected before I purchase but I am concerned that these cars have been used, abused and poorly maintained. Thanks! Carolyn

Yes, their sales force is salaried. Nice. They focus on getting you exactly what you want, not the most expensive car on the lot.

Buying an ex-rental car is like buying a used bed from a Motel 6.

Buying a 2006 2.5i LITD by bayboroheel

I've been shopping around for a 2.5i LTD wagon and the prices I've been getting have been around $26.5k OTD (in NC, with 3% sales tax) after the $2,000 cash back. Given that it's the end of the month and model year, I was thinking I could do a little better than that. Are these reasonable prices? What should I push for?

Hi I was looking around for the 2.51 limited base wagon with automatic. Price ranged from 24,000 to 24,500 with a few options before tax title and doc fee. After 2000 rebate you can usually knock another 800-1200 dollar off the invoice price. So maybe you can do a little better.best of luck
