The Edmunds site lists rebates to you the dealer and holdbacks...I have no idea when customer rebates happen...if the dealer is willng to negotiate his factory rebate/holdback then you probably have in the neighborhood of 2000 to play with Most dealers will be happy to maybe split that with you? so you can get 1000 off tmv or maybe off the invoice if you bargain Again, it depends on the [poularity of the car...You'll know a price when you hit a wall with all dealers...By all means though, if you can wait for the customer rebate, then you start saving quite a bit...

The wife had a Legacy Outback 1995 4 door wagon with 177,000 on it It's parked in our driveway, we'll probably give it to her mom...It runs great has some very slight oil seepage, nothing of consequence and has cost very little in maintenace in the past 2-3 years...All I've done is oil changes and 30,000's mile (multiples) tuneups...Great car also...They run forever it seems.I am now jealous of her car I want a new one too!!! We ski Whistler BC a lot, notorious for severe snow/road conditions and I LITERALLY went by I don't know how many vehicles in an unbelievable storm Jan 07 in the Forester...The car is amazing...I replaced the tires with siped top of the line Toyo Ultras...Now looking forward to road trips in the Outback!

We are about to purchase a basic Outback 2.5i automatic. We are waiting for one to be delivered to the dealer and for an August rebate. They didn't have one without added options in July. The dealer agreed to invoice (he gets all the holdback) and no additional charges (out the door for invoice plus taxes). We learned that we couldn't have one shipped from another dealer because then that other dealer would get the holdback instead of our dealer (and he didn't want to sell for no profit).

Read today on subaru.com(wasn't there yesterday), you must write your zip code to know if there's special deals in your area: "Now through September 4, 2007 - 08 OUTBACK models are available with Customer Cash. Must take delivery from dealer stock by September 4, 2007... ". The $1 000 "Customer cash" rebate is still there !

milem: the Subaru model number for the 2.5i LTD + VDC is "8DG". I would go to www.fitzmall.com, and look up that model number. Fitzmall is apparently legit (I'm not in MD so I don't know first hand). If I had to do it again I would start negotiations at the fitzmall price, which is amazingly low. I paid 26652 in New England (that's with destination, minus rebate), TTL was extra. The only option on the car was the auto-dimming mirror. It's also CA emissions, which adds to the price.
This is a site has a good overview of what are the model numbers mean:

Hope this helps. Depending on where you are in the country you should get a much better deal than I got. Let us know how it turns out.

2008 Outback Limited 2.5i LTD + VDC + auto dimming/compass/homelink in the two tone navy blue/metallic with tan interior my last quote was $500 below invoice of 26,672 - 500 = 26,172 - 1000 rebate = 25,172 + TTL.
This is in the seattle washington area. I'm hoping to buy my car today expecting 700 below invoice

Have you gotten this quote after many negociations OR is this quote the first one you received from this dealer ?
As for now, I received 2 quotes from 2 different dealers and their quotes are higher than yours after rebates and before taxes,fees, etc: 25 822 and 25 795 !
I wonder what I'll say/write to get their quotes lower... Any suggestions ??
