pam4water: Don't know where you're at, but in the Portland, OR region, while dealers still had 2008's, the cost difference between an '08 and an '09 was truly negligble -- maybe $50-$100 bucks. And an '09 will have a higher blue-book value than an '08, meaning that should you either wreck the car, or decide to sell it in a few years, you're better off with the '09.
 
If the price difference were more significant, I myself would opt for an '08, but for that kind of measly difference, I'd highly recommend the '09.

For '09, Subaru also made VDC (which it sounds like you may appreciate) available across the line on Outbacks. For '08, it had only trickled down to the Limited models and up.

Lease + purchase deals ending this month by jpenndcl

Is it a good deal to get a new 2009 Outback 25i Special Edition for 19,300?
 
Also, I am wondering about whether or not their lease special at 239 a month is a good deal for a 2009 Outback 25i Special Edition? It did not say what the residual or money factor was for this car. Any thoughts would be welcome!

jpenndcl,
 
Is the $19.3k for a manual or automatic transmission?
 
The lowest I could find on a new '09 2.5i SE automatic was $20.9k (loss-leader in the paper), and $21.3k (lowest price I could negotiate via the Internet). This was all at the end of 2008.
 
So, if it was an automatic, I'd say it's a heck of a deal... At least compared to what I could find. I'm in the Portland, OR area, and Subaru's are quite popular, so if you were in an area were they weren't popular, perhaps that would come into play as well...
 
Best of luck.

Zodiac,
 
I am in Indiana and am not sure how popular they are... I see a few here and there. I do not believe the sales person specified manual/automatic, but I will find that out tonight.
 
As for the lease, is the $239 a month a decent deal? Assuming that the residual is not like $16000... I think I will likely need to go with the lease in this economy and just plan on buying it out when we come out of this mess. Thanks for the information!!

I have been looking at the '08 2.5i versus the '09 2.5i SE. The '09 SE has vehicle stability control and an upgraded stereo and would be much preferred, as you have explained.
 
I see that in most parts of the country, there is $1,500 customer cash for the '09. However, in my area (Tennessee) there is no current incentive for the '09 Outback. In my area, for the '08 you can get $1,500 customer cash and 0% financing for 2 years.
 
Has anyone ever noticed incentive differences between regions like this?
 
There's no way I could consider negotiating on a '09 in my area if I can't get a $1,500 rebate that people in other parts of the country can get!
 
Maybe there will be customer cash in February in Tennessee? Maybe not?

2009 2.5iL by 14cars

Just bought a 2009 Outback 2.5i Limited with MSRP of $29,489 for $25,842 (before the $1500 rebate! and also before tax, title, fees of $149 (grrrr!), and license). ...
 
Thanks to Edmunds.com, we were able to get quotes fairly effortlessly from several dealerships and work an acceptable deal with the dealership of our choice. We found it pays to shop around! Definitely puts you in the driver's seat!

Just to be crystal clear, are you saying you got a discount of $3,647 off MSRP and then another $1,500 discount for a total of $5,147 off MSRP. In other words, you only paid $24,342?
 
If so, any idea if this level of discount would hold for the 3.0R Limited?
 
Thanks.

i'm am in the market for an outback and would like to understand this too.
 
with an msrp of $29,489, this would suggest an invoice of about $27,500 bsaed on edmundsTMV.
 
If you got this for $25,842, that means it went for roughly $1,700 under invoice. I think dealer holdback is only 3% of msrp = $900, so they are taking a pretty big loss on this to let it go for that price.
 
did you have a trade? or maybe that price included the $1,500 off which would make more sense at $200 under invoice - though you probably could have done better.
 
though if you numbers are prior to the $1,500 off that's great, b/c now i know where to start negotiations...

Yes, the price we paid was over $5000 off MSRP ... The haggle room became apparent when we submitted requests from several dealerships and the quotes came back. Only one was in the range of the predicted TMV on Edmunds but others were significantly (!) lower. I think we requested quotes from 6 dealerships in our area. We worked the deal at our local dealership but would have been willling to drive an hour if it meant getting a substantially better deal. (No trade, straight cash/financing deal-- our financing, not theirs.). Bought in NW Indiana. Competitive quotes came from Chicago.
