New 2006 Outback 2.5i Wagon by theryeman

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.

Is that an SE model with the twin moonroofs? If so for under $20k that's unbelievable...

Unfortunately, no. I wish it had the twin moonroofs though!

Sorry, I'm thinking Legacy wagon 2.5i SE, not Outback.
 
It's still surprising to get an Outback under $20k.

Price is pretty good but typical during a sale. I paid $28K for a fully loaded XT with everything, (twin roof, premiumn sound, leather, auto AC, Turbo, etc) List was $32K. No rebate, or cheap finacing tricks for me.. only price matters.

New 2006 Outback XT Limited wagon by dsouza

I bought my first Subaru at the end of July from West Herr in New York. We live in Canada so the purchase process was done over the phone and via e-mail. At the end of the negotiations we paid $27,030 and the dealer included an auto-dimming mirror, floor mats and four cargo nets. This price includes PDI and freight, but does not include any taxes.
 
I think the deal is in-line with what I've seen on this forum. We're very happy with the car and I would absolutely buy in the U.S. again given lower sticker prices and a strong Canadian dollar. Thanks to NAFTA, the Indiana built Subie is excluded from excise taxes so we just had to pay our Federal and Provincial levies - in total about 14% based on the purchase price. In total we saved about 25% as compared with the same vehicle in Canada!
 
If you would like to know more about the negotiation, export or warranty issues, just let me know.

Hi, I've been thinking all summer about doing the cross border shopping. I've done the import process before with an older car and expect no problems, as you posted. Just pony up the registrar fee and pay the taxes.
 I agree with your pricing analysis - we are really being "hosered" on the CDN pricing for a NAFTA vehicle.
 
My question is: What about Subaru of Canada honouring the US warranty? Have you gone to a Canadian dealership with your new car to confirm this?
 
Also, just wondering why you didn't wait for the 2007s?
 
Thanks for the info, Mike

Mike,
 
I contacted both Subaru of America and Subaru Canada who advised that warranty repairs on an American purchased Subaru would be covered at a Canadian dealership. However, the owner's manual suggests that repairs can only be done in the U.S.
 
Rather than put this to the test, I bought an extended warranty (Subaru Gold Plus) which explicitly states that repairs can be done on either side of the border. Shop around for this as the prices vary from state-to-state. The Canadian price for the warranty was about 40% higher and once I indicated that the warranty would be for an American purchased vehicle, the Canadian dealerships were unwilling to sell me one...
 
I'm happy with the deal I brokered on the 2006 and suspect there would have been less room for negotiation on the 2007 model. I timed the purchase for the end of the month (July) in the month before (August) the 2007's came out with this motivated seller gambit in mind.
