#1437 of 2245 Re: How much do Outbacks go for at auction? [subaruguy27] by xwesx Aug 22, 2007 (11:07 am)
Replying to: subaruguy27 (Aug 22, 2007 10:50 am) Well, this was early April before the '08 models were released, additional rebates were announced ($750 rebate at that time, if I recall correctly), etc. If there are blue book trade-in amounts advertised by NADA, KBB, etc., it is a recent addition. Even in June when I finally sold the car, there were no price guides on it. I dumped it for $18,900 private party and have never looked back. Funny enough, KBB shows its value as being $20,700 private party (right now). I find that somewhat silly considering that is about what I paid for it. *shrugs* The next time I am in the lower 48 I need to buy me a Subaru just to drive it back up here and sell it at a profit.   Regardless, you missed the forest for the tree on that one. The suggestion was not in the dollars listed.

#1439 of 2245 Re: XT in Diamond Gray Metallic [budrew] by pathtomax Sep 18, 2007 (2:42 pm)
Replying to: budrew (Sep 17, 2007 1:50 pm) There are only a few of us interested in the XT model line and the inventory reflects it. It is funny, I am in NH, the heart of Subaru Country, and there is always very little inventory.   Just for the h*ll of it, search XT inventory in Seattle- they are STOCKED!   I am still deciding between the XT with Nav or the 5-speed. I still want the 5-speed, but don't know if I need/want the Nav...

Replying to: pathtomax (Sep 18, 2007 2:42 pm) I just bought an 08 XT without nav. I decided the cost was not worth it, plus I've read many negative comments on the usability of the Subaru nav UI. You can always add a portable nav product to the dash, and even move it between cars, or even hike with it!   I got the Diamond Gray Metallic and I love it! Simply a beautiful car. Just what I wanted. Sporty with turbo yet Subaru practical. So far it drives fantastic. Only a few miles on it, but a pleasure all around.   I originally looked at the Tribeca (I was trading up from a 2002 Outback), but in the end like the size and layout of the Outback better. And the XT is more fun to drive. The Tribeca almost seemed hard to manage when starting on the gas. It seemed to want to get and go quick.   I wonder who the typical buyer is of the XT is and why they chose it? Since we are such a small lot. For me, the standard 4 cylinder was always somewhat anemic. My 2002 had the H6 which was plenty strong, yet still not sporty or quick. The XT seems to offer the best combination. I love how the turbo starts to kick in and you feel sucked along and up in speed.

Replying to: budrew (Sep 18, 2007 4:20 pm) the standard 4 cylinder was always somewhat anemic   Everyone has their preferences, of course, but anemic is a rather strong term for a car with as much spunk as an Outback. My '96 Outback at 220,000 miles was anemic. The new ones have spunk. The XT is downright fun.   At any rate, congratulations on the car! The color you chose is quite striking.

Replying to: xwesx (Sep 18, 2007 4:27 pm) It seems to me that I buy new cars when a color comes along that is beautiful and unique. The Diamond Gray Metallic is unique and beautiful. It is beautifully elegant in the sun with a tinge of blueness to it. It pairs very well with the off black interior.   Vavoom!
#1444 of 2245 Good price or not? 2.5i Limited by ivynorth Sep 19, 2007 (12:28 pm)
I got a quote for a 2008 Outback 2.5i Limited for $26,000 out the door. This includes the current $1,000 rebate. This particular vehicle that I'm looking at has MSRP of $26,844 and invoice of about $26,700.   Is this a good price?

Replying to: ivynorth (Sep 19, 2007 12:28 pm) Check the numbers they gave you. The dealer invoice to MSRP seems high. Check out Fitzmall.com. Their 2.5i LTD is going for about $2500 under invoice. I'm looking for the same car myself. Depending on options I want to spend about $25,000.

Replying to: ivynorth (Sep 19, 2007 12:28 pm) Your numbers do not add up. Invoice would not be 144 under MSRP.....
