The bottom line MSRP on an Outback Special Edition, that I've seen, is $24,560. You can easily buy one for $20,000. Heuberger Motors in Colorado has 8 billion.

No, I did not visit dealers to get actual quotes. All quotes were obtained through websites, by email, with some discussion on phone. I wasn't going to visit each dealership, no one should endure that grief. Start with displayed web prices and go from there. I think the Consumer report price was at least about 300-400 higher; I'll try to post the actual number when I can locate it.

OK, my previous post needs a slight correction....consumer reports bottom line for an se was: 23,323 (includes freight) - 2000 (incentive) + 1489 (taxes, fees) + profit (they suggested 4%) = 22,812 + profit. That's my equation, right or wrong.

Don't use Consumer Reports or Edmund's TMV to figure out what you should pay. Simply go to the highest volume Subaru dealer in your area or better yet visit their website. Most of the time they will have their lowest internet price listed on each model. Like I said above, I've seen Special Editions listed for $20,000. Over $4,500 off sticker. If a dealer can sell cars for this price ANY dealer can. The only question is will they. My highest volume dealer has 172 Outbacks, 38 being Special Editions. It's time to start selling cars guys.
 
You don't have to add additonal dealer profit like Consumer Reports suggests, the dealer is already making thousands selling it to you for $20,000. They don't actually "buy" the car for invoice. They get advertising money and all kinds of incentives for every car they sell. Dealer holdback alone is over $700.

09 SE Diamond Grey
Buying tomorrow.
Options:
Automatic trans.
Auto dimming mirror/compass package.
$19988.00 + $218 tags title etc. (No tax for Oregon residents)
I might just low ball them 19k.
The redesign coming this summer will make 09's much harder to move.
 
p.s. Consumer reports is useless.
A high schooler with an internet connection could do better.
The Fat Wallet car buying thread is good if you ignore the drama.

That's too much. The 2010's are waiting to ship. They need to sell the 09's badly.
 
Start at invoice.
Deduct $2k customer cash.
Deduct holdback (3% of total msrp)
Add applicable taxes, delivery charge and title etc.
That's your target price.
NEVER pay any bogus dealer prep fees or suchlike. They have already been paid by Subaru.
Email that formula before you set foot in the store.
Outback sales are 37% down from March 08 to March 09.

I agree. That price was at least $1,500 too high. My nearest high volume Subaru dealer has 144 Outbacks. They are going to have to really start discounting them next month.
