#293 of 1633 Re: price on new outback [mfh] by jeff6 Nov 06, 2004 (8:24 pm)
Replying to: mfh (Nov 01, 2004 2:11 pm) Took delivery of an 05 OB LL bean for $29,535. Picked it up at Milford NH Subaru. Sales staff was great and very motivated to move the car. Seemed to me to be a pretty fair price. They easily beat another dealership which had offered the same model at $30,190.   This is my first Subaru and I'm wondering what I waited so long for. Hope this helps.   Jeff Replies to this message: beansly1 (Nov 15, 2004 1:52 pm)

Replying to: mfh (Nov 01, 2004 4:08 pm) I've been looking in the bay area for the best price on a VDC. There are few in stock so almost all quotes have been for orders. I had one quote at invoice + 1500 or so if I didn't want to order. Otherwise the range I've seen was invoice-50 to invoice+1000. I started in the south bay and contacted (via Subaru's quote request) a lot of people, figuring farther away places might try harder. But seems that tact doesn't seem to work with a car that has to be ordered and therefore isn't sitting on the lot tying up money.   Nobody was interested in meeting Fitz price at invoice-300. In fact, my closest dealer wouldn't lower his invoice+200 to meet the invoice-50.

Replying to: mfh (Nov 01, 2004 4:08 pm) I have to disagree with your car comparison. how can you compare the Outback to the 4Runner....Apples and Oranges. I own an '04 4runner, and have shopped for outbacks. The 4runner has much more room and comfort, much more power in the base model, much more of an off road package, and better reliability and re-sale value. On top of that there is 3rd row seating available.

I agree that they are very different, 4Runner has a low range and a full frame.   But it's also a lot heavier, so even with more power it's not any faster. The Outback XT is quicker than the V8 model even.   I also disagree on reliability - Consumer Reports can't even recommend the V6 model due to poor realiability scores. The Outback scores much higher and is recommended.   Outback resale is also better than average. So is the 4Runner, but I would not consider that an advantage because both do equally well.   I agree about apples and oranges, though. One is a truck, the other a refined crossover, and they cater to different audiences.   -juice Replies to this message: hlevinson (Nov 11, 2004 8:47 am) hlevinson (Nov 11, 2004 9:00 am) ttenrag (Nov 22, 2004 9:13 pm) saedave (Nov 24, 2004 9:04 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 11, 2004 7:21 am) I own both a 2003 4Runner V8 (Paid $31,000)and a 2000 Outback Wagon H4 (Paid $20,400). They are different animals. I love both but my old Outback is a better value. Now I'm looking at a 2005 XT LTD and it's right up there at close to $30,000.   The dealers I have talked to are offering it up at invoice price ~$29-29.5. Is anyone finding these below invoice prices.   I hope to get $10K in trade which menas it will still cost me $20K out of pocket with taxes/fees etc. Not cheap for a Subie. This will be Subie #5 for me.   93 impreza 94 svx 96 outback 00 outback 05 outback   I'm also having a tough time finding the combination I want: Silver or Black exterior with a Charcoal interior and a 5-speed. I have seen a number with the Taupe interior (Not good with a 4 year old in tow). I have seen some charcoal interiors but the outside was red or white (not first choice in colors)

Try fitzmall.com or Van Borten in NY as a starting point. I think they're below invoice.   -juice

#301 of 1633 2005 Outback 2.5i Wagon Price by bac4uw Nov 12, 2004 (11:21 am)
Hello Everyone, I am a long-time lurker, but first-time poster. My wife and I live in the area of Seattle, WA and are looking to purchase a 2005 OB 2.5i Wagon. We test drove the OB against the Element, CRV EX & SE, Legacy Wagon, and Matrix XR AWD... and the OB is the winner for us. CRV SE was nice too - though what's up with BOTH the driver and passenger heated seat controls being placed on the driver's side? (As much as I love "control", I don't think I need to control someone else's uhhh... posterior warmth!)   Now for the (less) fun part: I am looking for some guidance as to a reasonable target price that I should take into the dealer. I have no problem haggling... but I'd like to be able to put a gauge on my expectations. (Dealer of choice is Eastside Subaru in Kirkland if it matters to anyone.) My two (sets of) questions for people in this forum:   (1) MSRP ~ 26,010, Invoice ~ 23,985, Edmunds TMV ~ 24,500 - Anyone out there getting closer to the invoice price than the TMV... or (gulp!) less than invoice? Would I have more or less wiggle-room if I go with Subaru's financing?   (2) Has anyone had a good experience with Eastside Subaru, or for that matter, other dealerships in the state of Washington? I read an earlier post about a dealership in Pasco... did you get the good price and good experience? I will (just by chance) be in the Pasco area over Thanksgiving.   Thanks in advance for your help. -Bryan Replies to this message: eric102 (Nov 12, 2004 7:12 pm) bac4uw (Nov 14, 2004 10:56 pm)
#302 of 1633 2005 Outback pricing by jahnu04 Nov 12, 2004 (11:23 am)
I have been offered a invoice price on 2.5i Auto Outback wagon without any options installed. I live in saint paul, mn. Infact the price is few dollars less than the price listed on edmunds. Do any of you think that I can do better.
