This car is the base model, no frills. MSRP 22,800 End of the month mid week deal, got the sale price to 20,300. Dealer claimed he was making no money on this deal, but I have my doubts since this dealer does a lot of volume and I'm sure they get bonuses for sales quotas. Anyhow I was pleased with the deal, add tax (nasty 5%), title, tag, doc fee and total was 21,639. This deal was in ME.

Replying to: erics6 (Sep 01, 2006 2:25 pm) The dealer I bought from cleared out the 06 legacy outback 5 spd (msrp25k+-)recently at 19995, but sold out before I got there. I was satisfied with the 07 price, even the dealers got to make a little and Im sure they did. |

Sorry for the long post... Just bought an 06 Willow Green Auto 2.5i Wagon last night. Ironically I think I could have gotten a better deal 2 months ago on the same promotion (ending Sept 5 - $2000 cash back + 0.0%). Multiple dealers have told me that prices have gone up from July since the selection is dwindling on 06s. Was talking to about 4 dealers and there were mostly white and champagne left (which we didn't really want). Anyway, thought I'd post my deal for any would be buyers this holiday weekend. Started at invoice + destination (24,917) minus $2000 (though this comes off at the end so Tax is charged on the sale price before) and $7200 trade in credit (70K 2001 Honda Civic EX coupe with some cosmetic issues, KBB private party ~$9000, wholesale $7-8K). Stared at each other for an hour (love the process) and they came down another $400 off the $24917. Stared at each other for another hour and finally got another $400 for the trade. So in the end: $26800 OTD (nice 8.25% tax here) - $2000 incentive - $7600 for our Honda with the balance at 0% for two years. Price of car before fees factoring incentive was $24517 - $2000 = $22517. It's not the $23400 OTD posted earlier in July for my area for an Atlantic Blue with some options but I did get an offer for a white one from the same dealership that the previous poster purchased from (Ron Price in SSF) for about $600 less than where I bought the green one (Santa Cruz). Also got a quote from Carlsen for a Willow Green at about $800 more for the same car but with autodim + homelink + armrest extension (all things I don't really care for). We factored in the free oil changes for the first 3 years while under warranty (~9*40 = $360) + the 10% off service and parts and had them toss in a full detail at the 7500 mile service and figured it was close enough to a wash to take the color we preferred. Also, other dealers were offering about $1000 less for the trade. Anyways, in the end it's more than I wanted to pay but right along the lines of TMV according to Edmunds and pretty much average over the 4 dealers in the SF Bay Area I have been talking too for what's left of the 06s. Some other notes...we did go to Stevens Creek. They were pushing hard for the 07 Basic (stamped steel wheels, no cross bars, no power drivers seat, no heated seats but yes! an auxiliary mp3 input and XM capable) but we wanted the 06 incentives. We wanted the 0% so we could put our cash into high-yield savings. Around here you can get the 07 at invoice minus $750 incentive w/o even trying (~$20000 before TTL) but APR is ~5-7% (and we had 800+ credit scores). Also it's a relief to not have to deal with selling the Honda private party. Good luck if you are going out hunting this weekend. Pickings in SF Bay Area are slim but you should still be able to do TMV without too much issue and prolly a lot better if you want a white one. I learned my lesson...bite when the promotion starts when dealer stock is high

We had gone to "motor city" to test drive an '06 Volvo V50 T5 AWD. I had really enjoyed the Volvo (sticker on it was just over $34K), but the salesman I was dealing with wasn't empowered to really deal on the car since his managers were all offsite at some used car event they had going on. So, we strolled across the street to Heuberger VW/Subaru (Colorado Springs) and just decided to see what they had in stock (we have a '97 Outback Limited that has served us well for 4+ years). Salesman approached and eventually we conveyed we really wanted an Outback with a manual transmission and leather. That always reduces the playing field considerably. They had a used '06 2.5 Limited (not XT) with 22K miles for about $25K. We decided to at least take it for a spin, but were left wanting more (especially after the V50). As he checked his inventory we got a free latte and chai and I noticed an XT Limited in the show room with leather and manual. I brought it to the attention of the salesman and he said he hadn't thought to check the turbos. Long story short: Sticker on it was just over $32K and we got it for $26000 + dealer fees ($398) + tax (includes the $1500 rebate). Felt pretty good about it since Edmunds FMV is $2K more. We opted for the 0% 2 year loan. Slick car, although I do still feel the Volvo V50 was slightly better all around (when I called to press the Volvo guy he said their lowest was $27,800 - close to tempting, but since they didn't have any finance deals it would have been several thousand more). |

Just purchased (August 30th) a 2006 Outback 2.5i Wagon (automatic) with auto dimming mirror w/compass (really useful) and armrest extension (really useless) for $21,329 plus TT&L and fees. Also, purchased the 6year/60k mile Gold Plus extended warranty for $590 (list price of $850). Total OTD cost was $23,483. This comes out to about $3,600 under invoice for the vehicle and $260 under list for the warranty and includes the $2000 rebate. Also, took the 0% APR financing for 24 months and the dealer threw in window tinting. Used the "fax attack" buying strategy from fightingchancedotcom. Dealership name is Gillman Subaru North in Houston, Tx. |
