Replying to: unlucky2 (Aug 11, 2005 3:24 pm) you can go to any other NE dealer(on subaru.com) & see who has it in stock. you locate the car for them. NE dealers can exchange vehicles any time among them. They'll try & charge transportation, don;t agree to it

Some times it can be harder to deal on these because the original dealer keeps the hold back. That's pretty much industry standard. So they have 2% of the invoice price less haggling room ($400 on a $20k car). -juice |

Has anyone purchased from North Park Subaru in San Antonio? They have an OB down there that I'd like to go look at, but I didn't much care for my initial impression of the internet salesman. I live about 3 hours north of there, so if people haven't had a good experience with them I may go to Austin instead. It's a longer drive, but if it will save me negotiating time and some money it's an easy decision. Thanks in advance!

Purchased a 2005 OB VDC for $28,918. This included mats and the installation of the auto-dimming mirror. Add to this $1,445.90 for tax, $185 for the documentation fee and $65 for new plate. Against my better judgment, I was talked into the Subaru extended warranty which brings the bumper to bumper up to 5 yr./60K. This put me out an additional $425. Not sure if this will pan out but it did seem a fair price for the coverage. Overall a reasonable experience, nice people. I would recommend them. As this is my first Subaru (coming from 4 minivans in a row), I appreciate all the info on the boards that helped me with my decision making process. Thanks |

Just bought a new 2005 Outback 2.5i with manual transmission, no options for $21,500 in Topeka KS. The dealer there was very knowledgable and did not put any pressure on us. I am 6' 4" and have size 13 shoes but have no problem getting comfortable in this car. Some taller people have reported that it is too cramped. It is just fine for me. I tested Foresters too. They were very comfortable, maybe slightly better for me but not as comfy for my family. So, the Outback was clearly the way to go for us. With a Forester I could have had slightly more room for my big body but would have had more complaining from the wife and kids about everything else. Thus the Outback was a no-brainer. The power seat really lets you dial into a comfortable position. I sat in the car for over two hours and then drove home for about an hour and I am very happy. |

and he promises "the same VIP Pricing that is offered to Subaru Employees and suppliers". I'd get invoice plus rebates on the 2005. Should bring the cost down to what I'd like to pay. There are a few base 2005 Outbacks in stock that would cost $22.6K, down from $26.6. Of course, I could go all out and get the LLBean for $28.9K, instead of $33.5.  I'm almost sold on the Ford Freestyle, but it's more vehicle than I need and it's the first model year. I saw a 2003 Limited Outback at the dealer when I parked the Freestyle and loved it. Plus, the Outback has more base options than the Freestyle (it's annoying having to pay extra for Side Air and AWD and have the dealers act as though I don't need them). Also, my German Shepherd can't get into the Freestyle, but I think she'd be able to get into the Outback. I'll post back with what happens - we're going there tomorrow.. |

| If you are in the Portland, Oregon area I can recommend contacting their internet salesperson. I started looking at 2005 Outbacks last spring but really wasn't ready to part with my 2000 OB. With summer came the $1500 cash back offer so I started looking around and came up with his name and started communicating with him by e-mail. I'm glad I did. Decided to wait for the 2006 Outbacks and took a trip to Carr. Wasn't planning to buy, just test drive, etc. Didn't even take the title and extra keys. He was true to his word about price which was very good. No pressure at all. Very fair offer for my 2000 and I'm home (2 hours away) with a beautiful new Outback. Easiest car buying experience I've had. The worst part was giving up my 2000. The best part was dealing with Carr's internet salesperson. Highly recommended! | |

Hello all, I live with my wife and 2 yr. old daughter in Boston, MA Metrowest area. I'm considering a switch from Nissan Pathfinder to a used Outback Wagon with up to $25K miles. Main goals are safety, saving on gas, and reliable winter driving. 1. So many models of Outback... what are major differences? 2. What is mileage in city like? 3. Good dealers? Thanks. |
