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 |

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?" $900 is MSRP for that extended warranty. Dealer cost is reported to be 50% of MSRP. You should be able to get a better price on that. 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 3:47 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 |

hello! I previously own a justy back in the day(1989) and i loved that little car!  this w/e I had the chance to drive an outback limited sedan. they guy is asking 6000$ and it has 135,000 miles (or so) on it. would it be a good deal? from what i read online, it would be quite below appraisal and the car is IMMACULATE inside and out! it has the leather interior and really, this car looks and feels new all over. it only had one owner and all the maintenance was done religiously. i am just concerned about the mileage after seeing a few ppl with head gasket blowing at 100,000 or less. I can't really afford major problems and i am debating getting this car or go with a new car (looking at entry level hatch) with full warranty. I would appreciate any input !!  thank you
