Waiting on 07 LLBean outback by gasr

So we purchased a new '07 ll bean outback (paid 31200 with nav, XM, remote start, floor mats and dog gate). we're really happy with the price we paid.
 
Problem is we put down 2k on October 1st. Dealer said that his allocation was done for the month and that we would have to wait until early next month. (we're ok with that) Now its the middle of October, and the dealer is not able to get me a VIN number yet. Does anyone know if this is common or not. He said that he had never heard of a VON number (Vehicle order number).
 
Yesterday one of the other dealers that we had spoken to about the car had called and I mentioned we were waiting on the car, and he said we could be waiting until Dec / Jan since alocations were done every 3 months and said that we should be able to get a VON number from the dealer. We're located north of Boston, MA.
 
I have no problem waiting until early November, December is totally unacceptable. Has anyone heard of this. Is the dealer I spoke to yesterday taking me for a ride...
thanks

folks, want to hear your opinion about these two quotes, much appreciated!
 
an OTD quote for silver 2007 2.5i wagon $24000, with following:

If it is OTD with A/T and 7% tax, then it is a good price.
 
It is definitely not worth going for 2006 just for wheel lock set + cargo net + security alarm. You can buy these accessories on your own and install it on the 2007 for around $200 (all the three together). Moreover why buy a 2006 and take depreciation hit when you can get 2007 for $100 more ($24000+$200). For 2007, they have added aux input for the audio system which is huge plus if you own a personal MP3 player.
 
Good Luck!

Did the dealer tell you he was going order one or he has one already coming in next month? If he has put in a new order for your car, then it will take atleast 6-8 weeks to get it (unless he can find another dealer getting the exact same car so that he can trade the shipment).

I think you're comparing two different models. Since the splash guards are listed as an option on the '07, it's most likely a 2.5i "Basic" Outback, with a cost nearly $1500 lower than the "standard" 2.5i with it's extra features, including:
 
TPMS Tire Pressure Monitoring
17" alloy wheels
Limited Slip rear axle
Cargo area power outlet
Power driver's seat, 8 way
Roof rails with cross bars
Rear cargo cover, with a gate attachment
All Weather Package: Heated front seats, Power heated mirrors, and front wiper de-icer.
and...Splash Guards

now just found out that it is a 2007 basic model, do you still think it is a fair deal?

If it includes 7% tax, 24000 OTD is what, $22430? Edmunds shows $22590 as the invoice price on the 2.5i Basic with those options. So, slightly below invoice, but I would not consider it a good deal. Fair? Probably, but there is a $750 "customer cash" discount on that, so you should be looking at $21840, or $23369 OTD if you were to actually pay invoice. I would set $23400 OTD as my MAX price and negotiate up to that, if necessary.

Taking delivery of 2007 2.5i by bobdee

After the accident-caused demise of my 1989 Mazda 929 (188,300 miles), I've decided it's time for a Subaru. I previously acquired a 2004 Forester for my daughter when she graduated from college, and she has been very happy with it, first in PA and now in AZ. I used Edmunds to request quotes from several dealers, but only one responded with actual pricing-Irvine Subaru:
2.5i with A/T Silver/Grey
XM Satellite Radio Kit
Subwoofer/Amplifier
Auto-Dimming Mirror/Compass w/Homelink
Center Armrest Extension
Hood Protector
Security Shock Sensor
All Weather Floor Mats
CA Emissions
$24,775 before TTL,less $750 rebate, plus $275 tint on 7 windows
[over $1300 below Edmunds TMV]
 
I also want to thank Juice and Bob for their extensive support of the Subaru Forums. I've read literally thousands of entries over the years, and am now looking forward to enjoying my first Subie!

Fitzmall.com is selling similarly equipped 2007 basic for 21487+TTL and a similarly equipped (accessories) 2007 2.5i for 22750+TTL. Ask your dealer to match it.
