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.

OK, I took it. Bird Road Subaru of Miami sold me a white 2.5i w/mirror compass and wheel locks for 22031 plus tax, title, and state doc fees for a total out the door price of 23566. This was by far the best offer out there besides Fitzgerald AutoMall who came close.

How much for low mileage '08 2.5i by mvray

Local dealer has a couple of low mileage 2008 Outback wagon 2.5i autos. How much should I offer for these? Should I be concerned about these? Seems odd that some used 2008's show up.

I think the '08s started coming in March of last year so maybe the previous owners were people who just have to have a new car every year. Check the VIN on Carfax and make sure you know what you are getting. Very worth the 30 bucks!
