#19 of 2248 Purchasing an 03 Outback LTD : HELP by wymanj Sep 04, 2003 (7:16 am)
I am not sure I understand all the pricing info and am willing. The dealer here in Napa CA says that he will sell me the 03 LTD (4 banger with a manual transmission) for 3500 off the MSRP. After reading the posts above this sounds like a great deal. Am I missing something? Is this reasonable?

The '03 has a $1250 dealer incentive, you should calculate invoice and maybe aim for $1250 under invoice. Don't start at MSRP, start at the invoice price.   -juice Replies to this message: alohasurfer1 (Jan 04, 2005 7:48 am) cpick (Jan 04, 2005 9:54 pm) alohasurfer1 (Jan 05, 2005 5:52 am) and 2 more...
#21 of 2248 2004 outback pricing by psalm11824 Sep 22, 2003 (5:11 pm)
The invoice is $24,555 When trying to get the price for around invoice, does that include the destination charge or is it seperate. With destination charge of $550. Should I ask for $24,555 or $25,105. Also has rebate of $500          Thanks,             Ed
#22 of 2248 extended warranties? by ssmom Sep 22, 2003 (6:10 pm)
Hi, Has anyone here purchased an extended warranty from Subaru on your Outback? If so, how much did you pay? Do you think extended warranties are needed on Outbacks (cuz Consumer Reports says no on cars with good reliability records)? Thanks, Karen
#23 of 2248 Invoice price by bgabel1260 Sep 23, 2003 (8:24 am)
Usually means before destination charges. So if the invoice is $24,555, the total price is $25,105. Subtract the rebates/incentives from $25,105.
#24 of 2248 Extended warranty by bgabel1260 Sep 23, 2003 (8:28 am)
I read a story in the WSJ about National Warranty going into bankrupcy proceedings and not paying claims to the million plus policy holders who file them. This is why you have to worry about the financial stability of the warranty underwriter. I would only buy extended warranties from the manufacturer, even if they do cost more, because the risk of default is much lower. That said, I have yet to buy an automotive extended warranty because I don't keep cars long enough. I'm not certain they are good deals...like all insurance products they are priced so that most people will pay more on premium than receive in claims. Depends on your tolerance for risk and ability to pay for repairs out of pocket.
#25 of 2248 Invoice, Warranties... by raybear Sep 24, 2003 (1:42 pm)
My invoice shows $23,029 plus $15 for gas for a 2004 automatic 4-cylinder Outback.   As to extended warranties, there are not many better than Subaru's own, that's for sure. Some dealers have pricing on their websites under "Added Security".
#26 of 2248 Invoice Price by 9620197 Sep 25, 2003 (1:08 pm)
Can't remember exactly what I paid, bought a 2003 Auto Outback with Auto Dimming Mirror no other extra options. I got it for under $21k, had I gone with a 5 Speed the dealer had ones on the lot when I bought that they would sell me for $17k. If your going with the base model you should definitely get it for under invoice. When I bought their was no manufacturer's rebate and still paid under invoice.
#27 of 2248 17K for 5spd? by bgabel1260 Sep 26, 2003 (5:24 am)
That's a steal! I had to pay over 20K for my 2003 5spd. The only difference was that mine was the last one on the lot. Other dealers only had 5spd LTD wagons, no base models.
#28 of 2248 Subaru Gold Warranty by ateixeira Sep 27, 2003 (7:09 pm)
Best price I've seen reported was $700 for a 7/70 on an Outback IIRC, shop around because list is $1300 or so, margins are big.   Keep in mind the fringe benefits - peice of mind, guaranteed service loaner, roadside assistance for the full term, etc.   Cancelling AAA saved us $497 on the spot, and we've had a Windstar loaner and a Mercedes Benz C class 4Matic (yes, really), not econoboxes.   If you like red carpet treatment, consider the warranty.   -juice
