Here's the invoice info: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/outback/outback2008.html#XT
 
Don't forget, if it's not being sold as new and if you're financing it, you'll pay higher interest rates - the spread can add a lot to your overall out-of-pocket cost.
 
Locally, I've found a new XT OB as much as $4500 below MSRP, but most I've seen are going for $3250 below (all have ATs, though).
 
What part of the country are you in?

Search autotrader.com to get an idea - there are at least a few dozen dealer listings for low mileage '07 2.5i cars within 300 miles of where I live (Md.) with asking prices under $20K, including a dozen under $18K.

Back in September, I was also quoted $20K for an '07 Outback with 10.5K miles. I was going a little higher than I wanted, but offered $19.5K on it and was refused. I did not end up buying that car.

Thanks for the reply and I actually did a little digging and called several dealers and got a quote I thought seemed reasonable. But after looking at your post that his number is not even close to $3k under MSRP so maybe not such a good deal? Dealer said it would take about 4 weeks to get from Subaru.
 
I am in Maine by the way.....
 
08 XT Limited with 5SM
MSRP $30,995
Selling Price $28,995 plus $300 title/dealer prep?

I still think that is WAY too much. Why is the MSRP so much higher than the base MSRP for an '08 XT Ltd 5MT ($28,540; invoice is $26,761)? The MSRP quoted reflects $2,455 in options. What are they and do you want them?
 
The '09s will be on dealers lots soon. I suspect that if you bought an '08 XT Ltd 5MT from Carter Subaru in Seattle (they have four per their website - blue, black, white, & red) and had it shipped, you'd still do better than the current offer (& would get it sooner). Also, I can't imagine that the price on the '09s will be THAT much higher to justify this price.
 
But you can do better in New England, too.
 
Just browsing around, I see that Maine Mall Subaru's website shows an '08 XT Ltd 5MT in Newport Blue Pearl with a $28,700 MSRP. So does Manchester Subaru in NH (MSRP $28,540).
 
Heck, I see that Keene Subaru in Keene, NH has an '08 XT Ltd. AT for $26,687 (sales price) - and an AT adds $1000 to the price of a Forester.
 
The website of TriCity Subaru in Somersworth, NH, shows an Obsidian Black Pearl '08 XT Ltd. 5MT with MSRP of $28,767) in inventory.
 
Ditto Village Subaru in Acton, MA - Aspen White '08 XT Ltd. 5MT - MSRP $28,540.
 
Ditto Planet Subaru in Hanover, MA (Obsidian Black) - site shows '08 XT Ltd. 5MT MSRP $28,582 and invoice of $26,994.
 
Ditto Bertera Subaru in W. Springfield, MA (Steel Silver) - site shows MSRP '08 XT Ltd. 5MT $29,517 and invoice of $27,586 (includes tinted windows).
 
I found still more '08 XT Ltd. 5MTs at various Subaru dealers in NY state - all with MSRPs under $29K.
 
My point - if you don't want to wait for an '09, buy (for less) from a dealer in New England that has one in stock! Fax all the dealers that have what you want and ask for their best DELIVERED price (excluding tax, title & license, but including any dealership fees). They compete, you win.

OOPS! Nevermind the post above -- for that I was looking at Foresters (but not with my initial post where I gave you the prices I was finding locally on OB XTs). [I've been going back and forth on whether to buy an OB or a Forester and this time neglected to notice that this is an OB forum when I replied.]
 
BTW, $30,995 MSRP? Per Joe Spitz's website (cars101.com), that's the cost w/o destination (another $645).
 
Carter Subaru in Seattle does have a bunch of OB XT 5MTs, though.

Ricky,
Thanks for this information. I now know not to pay anymore than 22k for the 2.5i. The first internet offer out came back with 22,200, no fees, plus tax and title, for a white, 2.5i automatic w/ compass mirror and floor mats. I might take it.
Bob
