CarsDirect is charging $500 over invoice for 2003 Outback base wagons so maybe the $125 over invoice I paid wasn't too bad.

My New 2003 Outback by gkl

I just purchased a 2003 Outback base model w/ security, cargo nets, and auto-dim mirror. Purchased the car for invoice minus $1250 and another $466 which was part of the dealer's holdback (I think the dealer's holdback was $700 so basically, he gave me 66% of it). I took advantage of the 2.9% financing deal - you need to finance at least $10,000 to get this offer (monthly payment = $179). This is even better deal than when I bought by 1998 Outback. If anyone is going to buy an 2003 Outback, do it ASAP. There will not be anymore left by the end of the month.
 
Also, I understand that another difference between the 2004 and 2003 Outbacks is the transmissions which use to be built in Japan, are now being built in the US.

Well, if you are bargain hunting, I'd consider a 2003 model. Those carry a $1250 incentive, so you can get them at invoice-1250. That might save you some cash.
 
The 2004s have a few changes, like silver badges instead of gold, and the two-tone wheels are history. If you prefer that look, I think the price you're being offered is fair for a brand-spanking new model year.

There's something wrong if a dealer is willing to sell you a new 2004 for $700 under invoice already. They are basically losing money even after considering the holdback.
 
Is this invoice-$700 with or without a trade? Often they lowball you on the trade to make you think you got a good price on the new car. And what trim level are you looking at? I guess you are looking at a base model with automatic transmission.

2004 outback vs 2003 outback by happymister

Hi,
 
i haven't told the guys that I have a tradein.
this is their Internet sales guys.
I have a quote for $22k for 2004 outback base model
and a quote of $21150 for the 2003 outback base model with premium audio. with rebates included.
 
for 2003, base model and base model with premium audio are same price.. one has weather package and other has premium audio package.
 
for 2004, i believe they make only base model with weather package.
 
so considering that i pay $850 more for 2004 model..
whats a good deal. from resale point of view.. it looks like 2004 might be better to get.
apart from 2 tone wheels...is there ANY significant difference between the models ?

You'll recover that $850 if you sell it in less than 7 years or so. I'd lean towards the 2004.
