First, a couple of comments on the recent posts above: - for the buyer who walked out on the $22,000 price after offering $21,500, I would revisit that delaer this wekend. I bet they are looking to move extra cars before the end of the year. - for the MA buyer who purchasd from Cityside, nice job. I have heard generally good things abut that dealership. As for me, I just ordered a 2008 Outback XT 5-speed from Manchester (NH) Subaru. I wanted a manual transmission car in Quartz Silver and there are none to be had anywhere so I decided to order. Manchester priced the car at invoice minus $325 minus the applicable rebate at the time of delivery (probably in February). They also offered me a pretty good value for my truck in trade but with 6-8 weeks to kill I'll probably have it sold on my own. Merry Christmas to me!

I'm interested in purchasing an 08 outback and would like some input. We really like the leather seats but don't really want all the other extras on the limited. Today found a dealer (in Pennsylvania) with a 2.5(i) with dealer added leather seats in the showroom. Only other extra on the 2.5(i) was the dimming mirrors. They gave us a price of $23,800 ($1000 extra for the leather seats). Based on what I've seen it looks like we should be able to get the price down more. Thoughts? Also, any thoughts on dealer added leather seats? Would it be better to pay more and get the limited if all we really care about is the seats? What about the VDC? Is that worth it? They gave us a price on the 2.5(i) limited with no additional options of $25,400. Finally, they offered us $5,500 for our 2001 Outback with 95,000 miles. It is in good, not perfect condition. Based on the KBB site I think we should be able to get at least $500 more for the car. Any thoughts?

| You guys in the north are getting some amazing deals. I was quoted $26,100 for a 2.5 i Limited w/ VDC and $27,800 for the same with the LL Bean package at my 2 local dealers here in Los Angeles (both prices after the rebates). They don't really sell a lot of OBs in So Cal so I understand the added cost ... but a few grand seems like a lot. | |

Replying to: paula191 (Dec 29, 2007 4:51 pm) When I traded a nice condition Civic for my (then new) 03 Forester I brought the KBB and Edmunds evaluations with me. The car was pristine (pre-kids, lol!) and I argued for the "good" condition price, since they offered me the "fair" condition price and I figured they prob. never gave "excellent" condition trade in. We had already worked out the price of the new car, though, so it was just a matter of bargaining a few $ less out of my pocket. Last word, I promise! Having bought 2 Subarus now in the past 5 years, I had fantastic experiences going with competitive Internet pricing; e.g. make it clear to the dealers exactly what you want and that the best, out the door price, gets the deal. As long as you are a serious buyer, this is probably a good place to start, at least. Good luck!!! M

Dec. 30th and I currently have a price down to $21,400 for a 2008 Outback 2.5i.(from MSRP of $25,440, invoice $24,192 I just started this process and wouldn't really do this so fast but we know we want this car. Is this price really low in terms of the end of the month/year? |
