#1889 of 2267 NEW 2008 outback incentives? by mikgars Jul 15, 2009 (3:30 pm)
I have been able to find some new 2008 Outbacks around. Does anyone know of or how to find out what sort of incentives are available on the 2008's? I would have to assume there are better deals available on the '08's than the '09's. I have searched allover the internet looking for this info. and have found no hint of '08 incentives. I would like to know everything I can before talking to the dealer. Any help/opinions are REALLY appreciated. Thanks-Mike Replies to this message: cptplt (Jul 16, 2009 4:38 am) fendertweed (Jul 16, 2009 5:33 am) mikgars (Jul 16, 2009 10:42 pm) fendertweed (Jul 17, 2009 10:59 am)

Replying to: mikgars (Jul 15, 2009 3:30 pm) I don't think there are any manufacturers incentives on the 08s any more http://www.subaru.com/special-offers/index.html Replies to this message: fendertweed (Jul 16, 2009 5:33 am)

Replying to: cptplt (Jul 16, 2009 4:38 am) the dealers around here (No. VA) have very few 09s left, let alone 08s ... my closest had 5 OB Ltds. last Friday, now 2 left.

Replying to: mikgars (Jul 15, 2009 3:30 pm) Thanks for your input cptplt and fendertweed. To my way of thinking there has to be incentives on the '08's, they are just not published by subaru, otherwise the '08's will never and I mean never sell. Why would anyone buy an '08 when the '09's are on the lot (and now the '10's) even if there were no incentives on the '09's. With no incentives the difference in price would be negligible there is only so much a dealer can reduce his price. Within several hours drive I have found 7 '08's 4-'08 2.5i's the equivalent of the '09 SE only without the Harmon Kardon stereo and VDC, 1-2.5i limited w/ VDC and 2 XT limited. I will be contacting the dealers Fri. to hear what they have to say I will keep you updated. Replies to this message: fendertweed (Jul 17, 2009 10:59 am)

Replying to: mikgars (Jul 16, 2009 10:42 pm) what you say makes some sense, I'm surprised there are that many '08s left on the new car lot anywhere.
#1894 of 2267 2008 Outback 2.5i Limited w/VDC by mikgars Jul 25, 2009 (2:43 am)
Edwards Subaru in Council Bluffs IA has a 2008 Outback 2.5i Limited w/VDC MSRP on link through Subaru website is 28771 however they have tacked on an additional $999 and advertised MSRP, in their email to me, at 29770. Their super-duper low price was approximately 5500 off their 29770 price. So in reality about 4500 off MSRP. They did not provide any further info and I did not pursue the matter as 4500 off MSRP is kinda lame. Better deals on '09's are readily available. The other dealership never responded to my emails, and again, I did not pursue the matter.   I have put off my purchase once again due to my '07 being in the shop, this time to get the fuel pump replaced a second time. Once I trade this in do yourselves a favor and do not purchase a copper red CX-7 GT with the tech package it may have been mine and believe me you will want nothing to do with it.
#1895 of 2267 Outback - No Cash for this Clunker by doidoadiesel Jul 25, 2009 (9:57 am)
Salesman at John Howard Subaru in Morgantown WV said if we are doing cash for clunkers we are going on STICKER price ONLY!!!! Sticker Price was $24,434 for a 2009 2.5 i 4 manual transmission, which was about $5,000 more than the TMV from Edmunds of $19,324 - So Cash for Clunkers at John Howard will net you Negative $500 dollars on the deal if you get $4500 for your clunker!!!! Hmmm It was easy to pass on this deal as we were basically about $10,000 apart from 'Hello'. It will be curious to see if other dealers take the same tactic and jack up the retail value to screw the customer out of any incentive to buy.

Replying to: doidoadiesel (Jul 25, 2009 9:57 am) I'll let you know... I'm picking up my '09 OB Ltd. Monday morning with a "CARS" credit as the "trade-in". We worked out the net price of the OB first ($25.7 OTD, about $5050 below MSRP+taxes etc.), then discussed either trading it in or doing the CARS program, which would give me similar/slightly more than dealer trade (same as CarMax would give me for the car)... dealer knows it's a CARS deal and all I had to do was put down a deposit to hold the car 'til the program details were in place. If they bump the price up on me the deal is off but I don't expect them to do that.   Besides, I can always take my car to the Honda dealer and get $5k for it ($4,500 + 500 they're adding) rather than $3,500 if I buy a Fit, LOL.   Jon Replies to this message: fendertweed (Jul 30, 2009 8:11 am) goede921 (Aug 06, 2009 6:48 pm) fendertweed (Aug 07, 2009 11:52 am)
