Just got back from Norwich VT with our 2007 Outback 2.5i 5 speed regular not basic no other options but floor mats and hood protector which I didn't ask for but were on the car for no extra $. $21,181 delivered +Tax,title and reg. I did an email blitz to all dealers within 100 miles using fitzmalls price as a base. Didn't do too much back and forth once I got a good price as it was snowing here in VT and didn't want to drive too far today. Feel pretty good about the deal, however I hadn't done any research on the extended certification warranty and ended up paying $900 for the 5yr 60,000 gold. It kind of caught me off guard and the only reason I did it was because I have 90 days to cancel with no fees. Anyone have any advice on whether this is worth keeping? Thanks Sam

Hi, Just thought I'd share... Just bought our Outback Sport SE. Had a GREAT buying experience from Heuberger. Did everything on-line -- 5 dealerships competing. Had Mike Shaw out of Denver tried to pursuade me to buy from them instead of Heuberger by telling me "Heuberger just gives their cars away." Weird sales technique that obviously didn't work for them. This is what I got: Brand-new off the transport '07 (white plastic still on the body, plastic still on the seats, etc.) Urban Gray / Silver 240watt 6-disc/MP3/Sirius/Aux port stereo system Cargo mat Cross bars (think all the above is standard with the OB SE) All weather mats Arm rest extension 5-spd manual No dealer B.S., very helpful sales staff, up-front & honest with everything... car value aside, best buying experience I've ever had. Price: $17,980 plus tax/title -- no other fees/costs. Highly recommend the dealership. Good luck & Happy New Year...

Just found this forum - a wealth of info here - thanks for sharing!! Looking at an Outback or a RAV4. Saw a 2.5I (not the basic) at Concordville Subaru/Nissan - list price = #25604 ( a couple minor options). They'll sell it for $22244(includes $750 rebate) + Tax&Tags AND will also provide a FREE lifetime, unlimited mileage powertrain warrantee as long as major service is done at the dealer. Comments please on this deal - is it good or should I push for a larger discount?? Of course - need to make the decision by 2-Jan when everything expires. Have a happy and safe new year celabration!! Regards, FTN |

You don't have to buy it from the same dealership where you bought the car and you don't have buy right away either. You can buy it when you are close to 3-year, 36k miles. But if you want to lock in the price now, call Curry Subaru in Mass. for a better quote. |

18,995 for the 2007 base model outback currently advertised in Maine. Makes me realize 20,300 was no deal! (what I paid). Seriously, sales of the base must be tracking lower than expected or something, this seems like a great deal (until they offer them at 17995) |

Well, considering that I was forced to do this search/negotiation under, perhaps, the worst possible conditions (aside from the fact that it is -30F today!), I think I did okay. The market up here is limited, with only two dealerships in the state. The Fairbanks dealership, after confirming that they would not seek a manual Basic from Anchorage and that there was not one en-route to Fairbanks, gave us a price of $23611 (OTD) for a manual 2.5i... which is a whopping $600 off MSRP. I contacted Anchorage regarding a manual Basic and managed to get them to 22125 (pre-incentive, title, fees) with crossbars, floormats, and mudguards (color coded) but with none installed... so, $378 over invoice (TMV for zip 99501 is listed on Edmunds as $22,533). OTD price was $21706. I made a calculation error when I was figuring the accessories, as I "wanted" to hit ~$250 over invoice. Basically, they flat refused to drop the sale price below $21706 so I decided to add the accessories I would be putting on it anyway in order to come closer to the price I sought. So, with the cost of flying to Anchorage and driving it back, the total cost to get it home is ~$22,000. If it had been a situation where I could have piggy-backed the trip down and had time to drive it back up I would have looked more seriously at the L48. "Feeler" prices I was getting from Washington were not enough less than the price I negotiated to justify the flight, lost income, drive up, and the time it would take to do it all. There will be other opportunities. But, I have not actually paid for nor picked up the car, so if someone has a compelling reason to talk me out of it - speak up! |

Replying to: jag1769 (Jan 01, 2007 4:47 am) Your deal was good. We did end up buying the Outback wagon - list price was $25,604 - paid $22,000 with lifetime powertrain waranttee included - $3604 off list!! But the best part was that we also got the most for our 2 trades than we were offered from any other dealer (Honda, Toyota & Subaru). In fact - we checked with another Subaru - they offered about $2000 off sticker and $3000 less for our trades! Very happy so far with our first Subaru. ftn |
