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. |

My wife and I just bought our first Subaru. After seeing everybody's posts about prices I thought I would share mine. I thought I got a great deal: Sticker was $25,964 (included Auto Dim Mirror/Compass/Homelink, Security System upgrade, and armrest extension). But they went down to $19,995 after the $2000 rebate. OTD was $21,583 plus a free window tint. Overall we were extremely pleased at both the car and the dealership (North Park in San Antonio). No one tried to pressure us at all. |

Replying to: theryeman (Sep 15, 2006 9:21 am) It's still surprising to get an Outback under $20k. -juice |
