#416 of 2263 Outback XT in Connecticut by amosanon1 Jan 24, 2005 (12:19 pm)
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) 2005 Outback L.L. Bean 6,700 miles. It had been registered to the dealership, so I'll be the second owner.   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...
#420 of 2263 Dealer Prices vs. Online Info by jaj Feb 01, 2005 (6:49 pm)
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) Replies to this message: lumbar (Feb 02, 2005 7:36 am) gearhead4 (Feb 07, 2005 12:16 pm) jg1 (Feb 16, 2005 4:18 pm)

Replying to: jaj (Feb 01, 2005 6:49 pm) $275 advertising fee? If that's the discrepancy, that's it.
#422 of 2263 by ateixeira Feb 02, 2005 (7:36 am)
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 Replies to this message: mchalmers (Feb 07, 2005 11:22 am)
#423 of 2263 Can you get a good price when not in stock? by piperboy72 Feb 06, 2005 (10:22 am)
I am looking to buy a base 2.5i 5-spd with mirror/compass and Willow Green exterior. I could not find one anywhere in my area in stock according to the subaru check inventory web site. The local dealer (Saint Paul, MN) has three silver units advertised at about 22,500 which is about what I would want to pay. Can I still expect to get to this price if it has to be ordered? Has anyone done this (ordered a low end outback and negotiated a good price)?   Thanks...
#424 of 2263 Can you get a good price... by andrewk Feb 07, 2005 (4:21 am)
piperboy72, I would think a dealer would be more motivated to discount something sitting right on his lot than having to go through the time and hassle to order something; but I could be wrong.   I thought the silver was very sharp and would have preferred that. Instead, I settled on a white over silver.
#425 of 2263 Re: Question by mchalmers Feb 07, 2005 (11:22 am)
Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 02, 2005 7:36 am) Not sure if I posted this correctly:   The other day I saw a 2.5i (non Limited) with the larger XT wheels and leather?? I actually took a double take and looked over the car to make sure it was not a limited. This was possible, as the car was in a parking lot. I noticed it truly was a base model 2.5i (No sunroof, non matching door handles, etc). Is it possible to order this car with the larger wheels and leather? Does anyone think Subaru will offer incentives for the Outback anytime soon?   Thank you,   Matthew
