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?

Let's not go there.
 
Oil is close to $125 a barrel, so the trade-off is worth it.

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.

I wouldn't pay more than 2/3 the "list " price. you may be able to even do better than that.

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.

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?

New Outback Limited Price Paid by craigl

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.

Question About Buying '05-'07 2.5 Outback by coloradokate
Jun 14, 2008 (9:47 am)
Reply
We are looking at used '05-'07 2.5i Outbacks. I was wondering, are we better off getting an older one (with expired warranty) or a later model (with active warranty) if the later years were registered as rental cars on Carfax? As a general rule, should we avoid cars that were rentals?
Thanks in advance,
Coloradokate
