#1612 of 2111 Re: Bought subaru outback 2.5. Advice on trading up. [julecat] by paisan May 04, 2008 (3:44 pm)
Replying to: julecat (May 04, 2008 1:52 pm) There is no more LL Bean however, they do sell an H6 version w/ all the same options. As far as upgrading financially it would be after 3 years IIRC that you get the best trade-in value compared to how much you owe. At that time there will be the 2010 or 2011 Outbacks out which will be larger with a 3.6L engine available.   -mike

Replying to: julecat (May 04, 2008 1:52 pm) Wait for a GTP letter, i.e. Subaru's guaranteed trade-in program.   I heard they may soon offer that for the 2009 Forester. Last year they had it for the 2008 Impreza when it came out.   Generally Subaru offers more than you would otherwise get from a wholesale trade.   You're still going to take a hit - you got a new car and are trading in a used car, but it won't be as bad with GTP.

Replying to: julecat (May 04, 2008 1:52 pm) I just traded my 2002 outback LL Bean for a 2008 outback 2.5i. I am not happy with the 2.5i because I was so use to the larger engine, leather seats, moon roof, etc. in my 2002.   Is anyone going to ask it?

#1616 of 2111 Opinion on 7 yr 100K mile warranty by tazman8 May 10, 2008 (4:12 pm)
Any opinions on 100K mile warranty - i'm looking at buying an Outback, and wondering what best price i should pay extra for warranty, and if y'all think its useful, thanks Replies to this message: paisan (May 11, 2008 7:52 am) ateixeira (May 12, 2008 8:42 am) cptplt (May 11, 2008 2:21 pm) gheophrie (Aug 13, 2008 9:57 am) cptplt (Sep 07, 2008 8:30 am)

Replying to: tazman8 (May 10, 2008 4:12 pm) Even though I work on Subies, I still get the extended Subaru Gold warranty. Well worth the money, considering how expensive repair costs are these days.   -mike Replies to this message: ateixeira (May 12, 2008 8:42 am)

Replying to: tazman8 (May 10, 2008 4:12 pm) I wouldn't pay more than 2/3 the "list " price. you may be able to even do better than that. Replies to this message: gheophrie (Aug 13, 2008 9:57 am) cptplt (Sep 07, 2008 8:30 am)

Replying to: paisan (May 11, 2008 7:52 am) I agree, mechanics' labor runs $95 per hour and higher around me.   You also get roadside assistance for the duration of the warranty. We liked that.
#1620 of 2111 "08 2.5i Outback Prices by jtn1 May 13, 2008 (1:23 pm)
I got the offer of $20,700 for the 2.5i Auto w/out any additional options. I am still a month away from buying but don't know if prices will drop even further as the 2009 are arriving towards the end of June?
#1621 of 2111 New Outback Limited Price Paid by craigl May 15, 2008 (12:02 pm)
The ride:   An '08 2.5i Limited Outback with VDC and popular equipment group A (auto dimming mirror, compass, and security system shock sensor, whatever that is)   The price:   MSRP: 28,644 Invoice: 25,738 (or actually 26,738 - 1000 rebate) Paid: 25,400 and dealer threw in window tinting. It also came with 2 year/24k scheduled maintenance package, but I think Subaru is including that will all new vehicles, at least in my region.   The skinny:   My price was decent, not great, but I concentrated more on the trade--a gas eating premium fuel burning low demand SUV--and a bottom line goal of $18,500 before TTL. (I'd gotten trade in quotes from Carmax and two other dealers before going in, so I knew it'd be a struggle to get what I wanted for the SUV.)   I did better on the trade than I expected--I wasted a couple of hours at another Subie dealer the day before who quoted 1600 less for the trade and steadfastly refused to budge. But I did worse on the price of the new car than I wanted. Still, I hit my target, so I reckon it's all good.
