| 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. | |

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? |

Replying to: xwesx (Dec 21, 2007 1:08 pm) Long story short, I ended up buying a 2006 pre-owned Subaru B9 Tribeca from another dealer. It is 7 passenger limited with navigation and 39,000 miles. It was a rental car. Here is the long version. I was planning to go back to the outback on 12/31. But I also wanted to keep my option open and have all the ground work laid out before that day, so I tested drove a few other cars. I came across this tribeca. The car has been on the lot for more than 60 days. The dealer was so determined to sell this car that I think once he noticed I showed interested in it he intentionally keeping the price high for the other cars I was also interested. He offered me $22000 for the tribeca, and gave me $2000 for my beat-up trade-in that I bought for $3000 7 years ago. During the negotiation, he was not dropping the price for the tribeca, but kept increasing the trade-in price from $1000 to $1500 to $2000. I realized that is a trick for them. But I think the price is great, and the tribeca is an awesome car. so with about the same price, I thought tribeca give me more car for the money. I hope I made the right decision.

I wasn't interested in extra features. I was buying the Subaru reputation for making an incredible, reliable AWD car. The Outback met all of my needs. I bought my base model with automatic transmission for 20700 out the door. I probably could have done a little better, but I still feel like I got a fair deal. I did about 95% of my shopping on the internet. I asked for quotes from 6-7 dealers and let them bid for my business. I probably spent a total of 2 hrs in dealerships, including the 45 minutes it took at the dealer that I bought the car. I the car cost 19, 800 and the fees, taxes, tags made up the other 900. I hope this helps. |
