#2974 of 3414 2011 outback recall by skyice

Nov 05, 2011 (1:39 pm)

When I was still enjoying my 2011 outback 2.5i limited purchased in April 2011, I received 2 recall letters a couple days ago, one for windshield wipe (WVW 32) and another for moonroof (WVW 33). Although they are two small problems, I felt disappointed to see the recall letters as I always believe Subaru was one of the most reliable cars. Maybe it is because outback was manufactured in the States rather than Japan.
 
I don't know if there will be more problems in the future. Who knows...
 
Why nobody mentioned it in the forum?

This is the Prices Paid discussion... have you taken a look at the other Outback discussions?

How "basic" of a car was it?
Any base model Outback in my area (MI) has at least the alloy wheel pkg, plus a few others such as cargo net, and rear bumper cover.
I have yet to see one without these "options".
Thanks,
Chris

#2977 of 3414 Dealer Holdback by jk894

What's the dealer holdback on the 2012 Outback? Are there any other "hidden" incentives for the dealer?
 
I have a quote on a 2.5i Base with the alloy package that is about $800 under invoice, the MSRP is $26,371. I also have a quote on a 2.5i Premium that is about $730 under invoice, with an MSRP of $27,708.
 
I'm wondering if the dealer has more room to negotiate or if this is getting close to a true cost.
 
Thank You.

Well, you're definitely into the dealer's holdback at that range, so you're getting a great deal either way. True cost to the dealer is probably right at $1,000-1,100 under invoice, and you can get one for that price if it is a high-volume dealer that gets other factory incentives, but their not really making any money on the sale itself.

We bought a new Outback Premium 2.5 two weeks ago for $24,395, including the destination fee, in the Chicago area. That was the initial price quote we got from the dealer via the internet/truecar after we submitted our request for internet pricing. They didn't have the color we wanted on hand, but they found one and delivered it to their lot for the same price. Other dealers were will reluctantly willing to match that price, however, they would have required us to choose from their inventory and pay for whatever options were already installed, like puddle lights.
2012 Outback Premium with the all-weather package and auto-dimming mirror with compass.

Wow, that is a great price gattito! $600 below dealer cost according to truecar's site. The best truecar price I can get for the same thing is $25,655, and that is 200 miles away from Detroit!

It must have been a good price because the other dealerships that were willing to match that offer have stopped contacting me about buying a new car. Other offers were coming in at a few dollars over $25,000, without the mirror. They charged us $100 for the mirror in the end.

We just bought a base model Outback for invoice plus tow package, splash guards, rear bumper cover and floor mats. We paid $25700 out the door. I hope I did ok.

Just curious how you get to $600 below dealer cost? Can you shed some lights how you calculate it? Thanks!
