You did great. Back in May of last year (since it's 2008 now) that same car was $25k.

That deal sounds pretty good; effectively around $400 under invoice less rebate or so. If you tell me its Satin White Pearl, I'll get jealous.
 
Nice job!

2008 i Ltd w/ VDC w/ some extras by senthilk

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.

We had to go automatic because of potential babysitters driving.
 
Haha, if babysitters will be driving it, you definitely do not want a turbo!

I bought at Heuberger Motors in CO springs too. You got a little better
deal than mine. I am from Boulder area. I tried with one local dealer
and called up Heuberger Motors. Their first quote itself is better
than my local dealer. I didn't even negotiate as I knew the quote is
a good one. I am curious. Did you negotitate ? Based on your tax rate,
you must be from CO Springs area. My car is 3.0R LL Bean.

They did quote me earlier on a different car. That quote was quite good too.
 
When I actually purchased the car I did not even ask for a quote and simply offered 4.4k below MSRP (ignoring the destination charge). I finally got about 4.3k below.
 
I did not really negotiate. I love to negotiate and the salesman must have seen the look of determination on my face and pretty much gave me what I wanted.
 
Yes, I am in the COS area. Loving my car ! Quite a joy to drive it around.

2003 Subaru Outback Purchase by ecycled

Ok. I'm new to Subaru but am looking at purchasing a used 2003 Subaru Outback from a local dealership in Salt Lake City, UT. Car has had two owners and according to a VIN number check (Carfax) it looks OK. Mileage is just under 79k. Asking mid $12k range. Any thoughts on this car? Anything to look for when I test drive in next few days? Thanks.

By 03 the head gasket issue was resolved, for the most part, but check these items anyway:
 
* inspect both head gaskets for oil stains
* inspect both valve cover gaskets
* inspect the front and rear main seals
 
Drive it, and listen for any drivetrain noises, turn off the radio and open the windows. Listen for noises from the differentials or the wheel bearings, common problem areas in past Subies.
 
If it's smooth, and the engine block is free of any signs of oil leaks, I'd buy it.

Listen for piston slap as well. Apparently it is not a longevity issue (though I have my doubts about that), but it sure is noisy and embarrassing. If it is present, you will not be able to miss it on start up, especially if the engine is cold.
