Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 24, 2004 10:20 am) juice   The VDC seems to be more of a problem; there were none ordered by my next to nearest dealer (Evanston Subaru) AFAIK. The nearest dealer on the north side of Chicago has almost NO Subarus in stock, a tiny showroom and I wonder why SoA lets him keep the franchise. I would like to inspect the VDC interior before I would consider ordering one!

We are just staring to look for a new Subaru here in the greater sacto area and I am wondering if anyone could advice us on what the average price would be, are there any discounts out there, or anything else you may have to say about the Bean vs other models. We like the extra oomph of the 6cyl (our previous 4 Subies were all 4s) but is it worth the extra $$$? I have researched the usual websites but none of them mentioned the discounts I've seen discussed here. Travelling to the Bay area is a possibility too if the price is right. Also does anyone have an opinion on using the web connections on Cars.com or autobytel etc vs going directly to a dealers website and emailing them for a price quote? I've never negotiated on line only in person so I'm VERY interested in saving money AND the hassle of the showroom. I have to agree with the posts that said that $30,000 is just about pushing the limits for a Subaru even for diehard fans like us. We've driven nothing but since 1986 but at that price we may look at what else is out there. Sara Replies to this message: eric102 (Nov 27, 2004 8:57 am) saedave (Nov 28, 2004 2:37 pm)

Replying to: sara1 (Nov 26, 2004 11:01 pm) I use carsdirect.com to get an idea of what prices should be for my zip code. You should then be able to get 300-500$ below that if you do your own negotiations with a dealer in that zip code.   Carsdirect is usually pretty up to date with rebates and dealer incentives.   Eric Replies to this message: saedave (Nov 28, 2004 2:37 pm)

Replying to: eric102 (Nov 27, 2004 8:57 am) I have a $300 below invoice quote for the VDC and will see it and drive it tomorrow. The trade-in allowance is yet to be negotiated so the transaction may not take place.   I suspect the VDC's price could be higher than most are willing to spend on a Subaru...hence the reluctance of some dealers to order any for stock.

I just got an '05 Outback Limited w/manual tranny, short shift, dimming mirror, and a few extra goodies. I underestimated the dealer holdback by $300 when I prepared my numbers before I went to the dealer to haggle (holdback over $1,000 on this car). Still, I got an okay deal -- $29,100. I think a fairer price would have been about $28,700. This would have been about $500 below 'invoice' but still would have given the dealer several hundred in profit.   Boy am I glad there's no sales tax here in Oregon!   I took a few snaps of my new baby this morning: http://www.pbase.com/turnert/05_outback
#345 of 1633 2005 Subaru Executive Cars by gf2020 Nov 28, 2004 (7:17 pm)
What do you think a decent price would be for a "new" 2005 Outback L.L. Bean wagon that has about 5000 miles? There are several of these cars now hitting local dealers, they were driven by Subaru execs and still qualify for the full warranty and the new car financing.   If you can get a new L.L. Bean wagon for around $29,500, what would you pay for one with 5000 miles? $27,500 maybe?

The higher end cars do get up there in price, but generally speaking Outbacks are very well equipped. Even the base model has heated seats, something that costs extra on most luxury cars.   Noone "needs" an H6, you get it because you want it. The H4 is perfectly adequate, more efficient, and costs less.   Therefore I think you should get the H6. And be happy.   -juice
#348 of 1633 2005 2.5i limited? by ttenrag Nov 29, 2004 (7:02 pm)
I am begining to purchase an outback, and a local dealer has an ad in the paper offering 5% below invoice. Does this seem right? What would be a reasonable deal right now?   Thanks Replies to this message: sapphireblue (Nov 29, 2004 10:12 pm)

Replying to: ttenrag (Nov 29, 2004 7:02 pm) How much a dealer is willing to go below invoice may depend on the demand for the vehicle in your area/region. 5% below invoice is great if you can get it, but check the details.   -sb (who may buy an Outback 2.5i wagon later today [Tues.])
