OOh, that XT 5-speed sounds great! We had to go automatic because of potential babysitters driving. The Forester is a 5 spd though and I love it.
 
Do you live in NH or MA? I had wondered about the Manchester dealers as I'm in the Boston area, but was unsure how taxes would work. No complaints about Cityside though.
 
Enjoy your new wheels!

Thanks for the input. Your point about the limited is a good one. I would be thrilled to get the price you got. Perhaps I will bring your post with me. I will use the KBB and Edmunds printouts re the trade. We just decided to buy yesterday thinking we would get a good end of the year price but I don't think I'm going to rush into it without a little more preparation. Thanks.

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?

Is that out the door? If so, sounds good, looking back at what others have done of late. If you really want the car, this seems like a good time to get a good deal.

Thank you to those who gave me advices and are interested in my experience. I just want to follow up with my story.
 
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.

2008 Outback Base by tedstor

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.

I am from Minneapolis around. I paid 20900 for outback i Manual Trans (MSRP: 24440). I got it on last Saturday.
 
I was wondering before that arm extension is useful or not. It is useful for 150$ and that too mine is manual trans.
 
I tried with few dealers and I felt it is good deal.
 
Got a internet price and nobody beat that. So one final price and it was easy shop.
