#473 of 1644 VDC prices MD v North CA & North NV by bill45 Mar 21, 2005 (1:36 am)
I just bought a 2005 Subaru Outback wagon 3.0 R VDC for $31,289 + $28.25 NV title fee + $295 dealer admin fee + NV tax & registration fees at Reno Subaru in NV. They had asked $33,455 internet price and came down to $31,289 when I decided to buy it at Fitzmall in MD. Prices were for all cash - no financing.   Fitzmall had the best Subaru prices and did not seem to have the dealer add-on admin fees that the other dealers that I checked seem to demand. I would have flown (free with frequent flier miles) to Fitzmall for the lower, no-haggle price, but my back doc told me not to drive from MD back to NV.   Other dealer cash prices that I found (before dealer admin fees, tax, registration) were: $31,644 in Carson City, NV $31,999 in Walnut Creek, CA $32,104 in Livermore, CA $32,280 in Napa, CA $32,394 (no homelink) in Fairfield, CA (but very good prices on 05 LL Bean wagons)   If you negotiate a deal by phone with your dealer, get a final, drive it home price, and tell them you will bring a cashier’s check for that amount. This may avoid last minute surprise add- on fees, credit checks, or title delays. If you are shopping for a new Subaru, shop around and be ready to walk out if they try to add any surprise fees onto the negotiated price when you arrive to buy your Subaru.   bill45
#474 of 1644 05 Outback $22,288 by aspesisteve Mar 22, 2005 (10:25 am)
that's what the add says in my local paper for "all model 5DA in stock".   I'm not sure what equip. group this includes but was wondering if this is a deal that can be improved on by a little leg work?   anyone care to reply what the 4 cylindar outbacks are going for with smart shopping?
#475 of 1644 Outback 2.5i auto $23,500 by andurilsfire Mar 26, 2005 (7:01 am)
Looking to buy my first subaru. Just wanted to check some pricing. I have one offer for a new '05 2.5i automatic (silver). Extra options are all weather mats, security sys upgrade, and auto-dim mirror w/homelink. Only has 6 miles on the odometer and financing is 1.9%. Seems like a good deal, but wanted some opinions.

Replying to: sparkycat (Mar 18, 2005 9:45 am) As previously posted, I paid $17,340 for my 2004 2.5, 5 speed Outback Wagon 7 months ago from Mc Curley Subaru in Pasco Washington, and so far, I am very happy with it and have had no problems. However, my previous post met with some skepticism about the amount paid. Well in today's paper, Mc Curley is offering the 2005 2.5 wagon for $18,751 (I can scan in the ad if anyone is still skeptical). I have no problem with the amount paid for the base model. However I do not understand the huge difference between the base model and the other models. I show these copied from above as reference: Other dealer cash prices that I found (before dealer admin fees, tax, registration) were: $31,644 in Carson City, NV $31,999 in Walnut Creek, CA $32,104 in Livermore, CA $32,280 in Napa, CA $32,394 (no homelink) in Fairfield, CA (but very good prices on 05 LL Bean wagons)   To me this means more than $15,000 for JUST the engine, sunroof, Climate Control, leather interior and auto trans (and possibly VDC?). Now as far as I know NO ONE has ever complained about the functioning of the standard heater, A/C controls. But EVERYONE has complained about the Climate Control.....so WHY should you pay MORE for something disfunctional? Someone please help me out here and tell me how an optional engine etc. can be worth more than 50% of the total price of the car to YOU.   Thanks Replies to this message: aspesisteve (Mar 26, 2005 5:37 pm) cpp788x (Mar 27, 2005 9:19 am)

Replying to: 63corvette (Mar 26, 2005 12:54 pm) thanks for your post - it's been a while since someone posted some deals being offered.   I suspect some people are sceptics of such a good deal AFTER they paid more?   Anyway, I would agree with you that the extra bells and wistles are usually come with quite a mark up. The dealer in this case is likely luring in the buyer with a "strippie" knowing that many people will get emotional over a garage door opener or something bell or wistle they are used to having.
#478 of 1644 Leasing an '05 Outback XT ltd. by rarrieta Mar 26, 2005 (6:23 pm)
Can someone give me an idea of what a reasonable lease rate would be for a 3 year, 12,000 mile lease for a 2005 Outback XT Limited? Thanks!   (p.s. I live in Chicago)

Replying to: 63corvette (Mar 26, 2005 12:54 pm) You are right! I have a 2001 base Forester w/auto. It handles beautifully on winding mountain roads. In the snow - I now shovel AFTER I do the errands.   There is no NEED for the other options, however, like most people I desire them. Wanting is a far more pleasurable experience than having.   Chas.
#480 of 1644 2005 VDC Wagon by gylhome Mar 27, 2005 (3:25 pm)
Just got a Champagne Gold 3.0L VDC wagon with the Popular equipment group (auto dimming mirror and perimeter security alarm), all weather mats, center armrest extension, sdaf (not sure what this is), for $30,923 - $1000 below invoice. I haven't seen any published dealer incentives, so I'm not sure why the dealer gave it to me below invoice. I'm not complaining, though. So far, I'm pretty happy with it, though, I wish I could put the baby seat in the center.
#481 of 1644 Anyone have the residual values? by andrewdm Mar 28, 2005 (10:44 am)

Replying to: jds2 (Mar 08, 2005 12:07 pm) Hi. I paid $30,233 for my 05 LLBean in August. I am in VT where Subaru has a huge market too. I think I got a good deal then. I think you should be able to do even better now. At least $29,500 or so!
