what are outback limiteds going for?
 
i know the program is 1,500 rebate + 500 owner loyalty + apr.
 
ignoring rebates, what about starting the discussion at 800 under invoice?
 
thoughts?

I keep reading about a march rebate of 1500 cash back on 2009 Outbacks, but where is it? not on the Subaru website nor on local dealer websites. I live in 10804 New Rochelle NY just above NYC? Actually, I was more interested in the model just below the Limited, the Special Edition with automatic, and neither Carsdirect nor other internet sits carry it. My attempt to get dealer quotes is always the same, "call us". What gives?

this is exactly the problem that I have been running into. I want an '09 Special Edition with auto. Used the Consumes Report method which is slightly lower than TMV. Two problems, i can not find out what the heck everyone is talking about regarding the rebates of $1500, and the second problem is that no matter whom I use, even carsdirect.com, whenever i request a specific quote, i get a call back or message that says "C'mon down" ie- no internet offers, come in so I can steal your gold teeth! Is it something bout New York? (I am just above the city -NYC- line. Any advice or tips? Am willing to travel a bit, but a;already got two bait and switch offers from upstate NY dealers before i decided to go with a new model.

Rebates can vary by region and even state to state. That may explain it.

Is that price ($5,100 below MSRP) including freight ($695)?
 
I'm finding Outback SEs locally for about 15% below MSRP incl. freight ... $26,028 MSRP for $23,088 including freight and $289 dealer fees and taxes, or about $24,310 out the door.
 
Outback Limiteds are ~$29,338 MSPR, selling at $25,698 including freight, or about $27,026 including taxes & dealer fees.
 
This dealer is not participating in the $1,500 rebate as far as I can tell.
These are well below TMV prices and about $500 below prices a few months ago.
 
But I'm also thinking that deals not depending on the rebate are not going to be much worse in May than early March, I don't see the economy turning around in the next 60 days.
 
Tough time to choose whether to stick with my'01 Audi A6 wagon w/ 99k on it for another year or 2 (wait for an Outback diesel?), or buy while the deal is good.
 
Mainly I'm annoyed at the huge premium charged for the Ltd. over the SE for things I don't care about when I really am interested in leather & dual zone AC only. No a la carte ordering ... puh.

Yes, it included freight ...
 
Like you, all we really wanted beyond the SE was leather and dula zone AC. Didn't care about other things.
 
We debated waiting on the Diesel. Obviously, you know our decision! No regrets.
 
Good luck!

Adding leather by Rob2711

Responding to prior posts about really wanting an SE plus leather and dual zone, I was in a similar position but only cared about the leather. The dealer offered this as an after-manufacturer service. Price started at $1300 but they gave it to me for lower than that. I couldn't take the car that day obviously, but a week later and I now have our SE with leather without having to pay the extra $$$ for the Limited options I did not want, like moonroof etc.
 
Maybe you both should inquire with your local dealers about adding leather to an SE. Good luck.

interesting idea, but dual zone climate is equally important so leather alone wouldn't really help/be worth it for me ... but you're right, a good upholstery shop (good is the key word) could do it, you just have to hope they use good leather and know what they're doing (Audi leather, for ex., is very high quality stuff, at least it was in the '98 and '01 I've had/have).

Strategy for Purchasing an Outback 2.5i by dlhanson

2009 Outback 2.5i Model 9DB (automatic) has an invoice price of $22,627 (including destination fee).
I am a member of the IMBA so I can use the Subaru VIP program which I understand gives a 2% discount off of invoice plus no additional fees (except tax and title). 2% is about $450 so the dealer should charge me about $22,175.
 
There is a new $2000 cash rebate to the customer. So I should be able to write a check to the dealer for $20,175.(plus TTL)
 
Two questions, do these calculations sound correct? Should I expect the dealer to go more than 2% under invoice? ("The dealer was getting $1,500 cash incentive before Subaru started this $2,000 rebate - per cars101.com so things have changed in the last few days.)
 
Thanks
 
PS - I am located in Upstate South Carolina - I don't see many Subaru's around here unless I drive up to Asheville, NC.
