There will be no incentives so I would aim for invoice. The dealer may not even be willing to do that, so at this point, today, I'd opt for a 2005 and compromise on the color.

2005 OB price by soccerbj

First post here,
 
Just got back from a dealership in IL with a quote of $22,200 plus tax and license fee for a 2005 OB 2.5i auto without options. The dealer told us basically it is the invoice price - 2% - $1500 rebate since my wife is qualified for the VIP program. We did not argue about the price since we will check out other options at Toyota and Honda too. But is this a good deal or it can be still lowered considering that 2006 will be on sale soon?
 
Basically we love the OB styling, 4WD and the safety features like the standard side & curtain airbags, but after the test-drive we feel that the built quality, though still o.k., is not as good as we expected. I probably checked out all the OBs on the parking lot, and to my surprise, I found out most have rusty brake rotors and calipers already. After I got underneath one of the car, I found out other rusty parts and bolts too. This makes me at least concerned. Never owned a Subie before, and heard different comments, I am really confused now
 
Anyway, thanks for any advice in advance.

$24.5 is basically invoice - check edmunds.com. Minus the rebate, you get 22.2 - not a bad price. VIP pricing gets you this price with no haggle. If you are inclined, you probably could get another $500 - $1000 off the price. Depends how motivated the dealer is to move the car.
 
I am on my second Outback. Been happy with both. Quality on the new generation Legacy is awesome.
 
As for the rust on the rotors, they all have that. My rotors will have a coating of rust overnight if there is any moisture in the air. They clean off the first time you apply the brakes.
 
Good Luck! Rob M.

Hi all,
I've been lurking on this board for awhile before deciding to take the purchasing plunge. Last night I bought my '02 VDC Outback and I feel really good about it. The car is in great condition and has 38,000 miles on it. We paid $20,075 plus taxes and fees (Los Angeles county sales tax is the worst!), and at the last minute we decided to get the extended warranty. It's a real treat to have a car with all the added bells and whistles. Almost makes me wish I had a longer commute so I could spend more time in it!
Thanks to everyone for sharing their Outback experiences.
Now I just have to find someone to buy my Jetta...

I have been quoted 32,570 for out the door (include TTL) for a SUBARU outback 3.0 VDC wagon limited. I am wondering if this is a good deal? Anyone know?
This is a 2005 model.

No, it is NOT. you should buy it for at least 4,000 below MSRP. then it is decent.
what you quoted is only 2k below. right now, there are customer + dealer rebates. you should easily get 4k below.
 
where are you located ?

Houston. Thanks for replying. When they quote you the price, do you have them do this with or without TTL and is the 4K you refer to with or without TTL?

subaru dealers in houston are thieves. i used to live there. gillman/southwest are all horrible. there is one dealer in Austin(other than gillman) & one in Temple, TX that are decent. i think the one in temple is really good.
 
cut the deal over the internet & go pick it up.
