2005 Subaru Outback XT Ltd. by moutback

I purchased a 2005 Outback XT Ltd. in Obsidian Black Pearl with the popular equipment option (auto-dimming mirror w/compass, security system perimeter alarm), all-weather floor maps, and side cargo nets for $30,571 (invoice $30,371) at Herb Gordon Subaru in Silver Spring, MD. It's probably not the best deal since some dealers in MD (e.g., Fitzgerald) may be offering 2005s at or just under invoice, but Herb Gordon had the only black Outback XT Ltd. in my area. I traded in my 2000 Outback (w/43,000 miles) for $9,475, which was a little less than what I had hoped to receive, but was fair considering the price of my new Outback. I also was fortunate enough to get free scheduled maintenance via coupons from Subaru of America, although I had to call SoA to get them (the dealer did not know about this).
 
Good luck to everyone shopping for a Subaru.

kbuff,
 
Wondering what you found to be the primary difference from this vehicle and the LegacyGT (if U drove it)??? I test drove the GT and must admit I loved it!
 
Dealer didn't have this one at the time, but now I am thinking that this may be the way to go.
 
Looking forward to contributing to the board (hopefully by year end!).

Price for 2005 VDC by butch1

Starting to research price for a 2005 VDC Outback. Visited a dealer this weekend and price was about $1,500 over list price. They did not have model in showroom so I plan to visit them again. I'm located in NYC area and looking for advice on honest dealer (good service) offering a good price.

You come here and you really notice how well Subarus retain their value.
 
Check this out - I calculated the KBB value on my '98 Forester L, plugged in 60k for miles and Good condition, and it came back with $8600 or so.
 
Then I did the same for a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD automatic, and guess what? It's worth only $8000.
 
So my resale is $600 better for a vehicle that cost me about $6000 less back in 1998. Actually it was more like $7000.
 
Lesson? Stretch, if you can, and just buy a new Subie. Used ones don't depreciate all that much. Buy a leftover 2004 model right now for a bargain and I doubt you'll regret it.

Hi Everyone,
Last month I became a proud owner of a 2004 OB Wagon. Finally traded in the 92 Legacy Sedan. About time, huh? After 12 years and a trans job as the only major repair, the decision of what car to buy was easy for me. Thanks to all here for your helpful posts.

Congrats. Did you get a bargain on a left over 2004 model?
 
Legacy just had a record July, mostly 2005s.

Thanks Juice,
My apologies, I neglected to include the details. Mine is the standard (2.5L)2004 Wagon with the all weather package and Automatic transmission for $19,700 with 5.2% financing. (In the Philadelphia, PA area). This seemed pretty good to me after some comparison shopping for the both the vehicle and rates.

Auto and under $20k? That would have been unheard of even 6 months ago.
