Subarus do not depreciate that quickly, so I would try to find a bargain on a left over 2004 (maybe too late now?) or wait until the 2006 models arrive and buy a 2005. Check out Fitzmall.com, search the inventory and sort by price. They have Foresters starting around $18k, which is pretty affordable nowadays. Average price in the US is $27k now! -juice |

Looking to replace my 1999 v70xc. What would be a good price for a 2005 LLBean? Any dealer recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks |

Use fitzmall.com as a benchmark, they're in MD. Or use Van Bortel in NY (I don't know the URL). Start there, see if the local dealer will match or beat it. -juice |

Two questions: 1. Anyone had experience with Mitchell Subaru in Connecticut? 2. How much have people been paying for Outback XT (not Limited) without many options? My wife and I have decided this is pretty much what we want (though we will test the Volvo v50 T5 AWD), but we decided that we are going to wait until we can get it for under invoice pricing (i.e. with manufacturer incentives). Our salesman claims that they can be very aggressive, particularly if the model/color combo we want is in stock, and he even hinted that if going below invoice is what it takes, they could do it. Should I believe him? I don't want to get stuck in a drawn-out negotiation only to become aware of strings and conditions not laid out in the first place. Does below invoice sound plausible? |

Try Van Bortel in NY for a reference point, they are no-haggle and you can get prices there and then ask them to beat it. -juice |

| amosanon1, I bought my 2.5i (base w/MT) for $900 under invoice, though it took some time and effort. I found several dealers to go invoice and a couple willing to go lower with some enogociating. I made my purchase in Chicago, driving up from Indy to take delivery. Hope this helps! | |

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 28, 2003 8:14 am) The sales experience was good, at Continental Motors in Anchorage, Alaska. My relative happiness with the price is largely impacted by the beating I took on my trade--a 2004 Volvo. But the dealership did as well by me as they could, I think. They aren't going to be missing any meals because of this deal, but they offered me a decent deal, so we're taking it. To answer the question, the car was listed at $27,999. For an almost new Outback L.L. Bean in Alaska, that seems like a good price. There was a 2005 Outback XT 5 speed with 50 miles on it at the same price. We decided on the automatic to maintain family harmony and hopefully maintain a better resale value and lower insurance costs. We'll see... |

Anyone with insight into why price sheets dealers are showing have both MSRP and invoice higher than what's given on Edmunds and KBB? (looking at the Outback 2.5i Limited)

Yeah, for Alaska that is great. I've heard stories of people going to Seattle to get a decent deal. So you did fine. 6700 miles isn't even broken in yet. jaj: are they including regional ad fees, maybe? Or are they higher across the board? If the MSRP matches, I'd believe the KBB and Edmunds numbers. If prices went up, they should all have gone up, MSRP too. -juice
