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?

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.

The $1500 rebate is a discount from the manufacturer - it does not affect the dealer. In other words, you should take the $1500 off the top, meaning if your MSRP is $29,489, but they are offering a $1500 rebate, you should consider the MSRP to be $27,989 and the invoice to be $26,000. Therefore, $25,842 is $158 under invoice and within the realm of possibility (dealer's 3% holdback), especially for a volume dealer where quantity sold results in the real payday for the dealer.

That's great - congratulations. How did you submit to dealers over the internet - through the Subaru website?

The subaru website currently lists the march program. Looks like you can either get either:
 
(a) $1,500 cash back plus 2.9% or
(b) $1,500 customer cash
 
I don't really follow this - why would (b) be any better. Am i reading this right? Or can you combine the cash back with the customer cash to get $3,000 reduction (albeit take a worse apr).
 
maybe someone can translate the below

I have a Sienna and we really like it but in the snow there is no comparison. It struggles to climb my driveway in conditions our Forester shrugs off or doesn't even notice.
 
If you get snow - you won't regret getting a Subaru.
 
I like the Sienna but in the snow I'll borrow my wife's Forester. If she lets me.
