Please let us all know if you got your 2006 Outback 2.5i Limited MT for $23,995 (plus the $14 for your tradein). This can give an idea what dealers are up to (or down to ) these days.

Troy, in my region that's well below a net loss on the vehicle. Proceed with caution and if the other shoe drops, get out of there. The only thing worse than a bait-and-switch dealer is the customer who lets them get away with it!

I figured the dealer (I was actually dealing with store manager on-line) was full of it. However, I called his bluff and told him to get car. No sooner than I hung up, he called me with a "ah, I don't have one on the lot, I'll have to check with my rep and get back to you". That was 4 days ago and I haven't heard a peep. I pick up my new 2006 2.5i limited at another dealer tomorrow. $25,500 after $1000 rebate, includes compass mirror, all weather mats and trailer hitch (again, limited with leather & moonroof). I also got manual transmission (middle-age crisis). Got a little less on my trade-in, but used American made SUV market is dead. Thanks GM for trashing your current owners with the Employee Discount on new ones (that and gas prices).

Purchased - 2.5i limited Outback by finallyasubaru

I finally made my move after months of research. I bought my Subbie for $26.6K OTD including taxes of 5% -purchased in IL for WI.
Options include - Equipment Groups 2B and 3 (includes Security Syst. Upgrade, Armrest Extn etc).
 
I also decided to buy my extended warranty (I believe the quality, but decide to be cautious) 6/80 for under $1K (Is this good???).
 
Dealership experience was pleasant, I could have got a few $$ more, but then it would have made it more painful for me and the dealership.
 
Thanks to all who have posted their deals earlier, this truly helped me in my negotiations.

Sounds very close to what I did in Chicago Saturday ($25.5) but I got manual transmission - worth about $1000. For "goodies" I got armrest extention, all weather mats, compass mirror, cargo net and trailer hitch. My price includes $1000 rebate. I also went with 6/80 extented warranty ($100 deductible). Cost me something like $840. Apparently Subaru has a deal where with certain warranty upgrades you can get 2 years of "free" service on car, or apply that amount ($240??) towards rebate. I took the cash towards rebate as my dealer does oil changes for $12 for its car buyers. Great thing about rebate is if you don't use it, you get the money back at the end of warranty term. You can also get back cash if you sell car (in print in my warranty package).

TSPH02 - Hey thanks for your post. Is that price including taxes? I paid $26.6K including taxes!
 
I am not sure about your $240 rebate though, great if you've got it
 
See you in the Crew forum!
 
Cheers

finallyasubaru - I had a trade in, so I saved a bunch in taxes, so my tax number is a little "squishy". But yes, my $25.5 was before taxes, and again, with manual transmission. What was your price on the car pre-tax? It had to be less than me. I had 3 offers from 3 different dealers on the same car. $25.2, $25.5 and $23,995. I ordered through the $23,995 guy (no deposit) and he has yet to get back to me after telling me he needed to talk to his area Subaru rep to find the car I wanted (11 days and counting). The $25.2 guy didn't have a trailer-hitch on the car that I want for my Thule bike rake - plus he ticked me off in negotiation - and he was also 20 miles away.
 
The $240 rebate was for the 6 year 80k extended warranty. I could either pay $1000 for the warranty and then get 2 years of "free" service on the car (oil changes, etc) or apply $240 towards the warranty. Ergo, bought Subaru, with extended warranty, for $26.3k before taxes. That includes the rest of "dealer" fees as well.
