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. |

Replying to: dmiller1973 (Dec 30, 2007 8:49 pm) 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.

I got a 2008 2.5 i Ltd w/ VDC (27695.00) + Equip Group 1D (381.00) + Center Armrest Extension (163) + Floor Mats (55) for 26172.20 all included out of the door (tax in CO is 7.4 %) I thought it was a reasonably good deal. The dealer was Heuberger Motors in Colorado Springs and the salesguy was Josh Slead who is pretty good. I did the deal in person.
