Replying to: rocks1 (Oct 30, 2005 6:57 am) just have had normal service done of the subaru so have been using local oil change places. i bought from liberty subaru because they gave a decent internet quote and treated me with respect. i wanted to buy from wayne but could not get anyone interested in me there. loman subaru messed with me and lost my business. so i bought far enough away from me to unlikely use their service. that is the call you have to make. |

This board provided good info for me, so I wanted post my recent experience shopping in Minneapolis/St. Paul area. 2006 Outback 2.5 base AT w/ auto dimming mirror, armrest extension, cargo net and all-weather mats. MSRP 26800 paid 24400 (including rebate, prior to fees and tax). The base 2.5 (non-turbo) has plenty of power IMHO (not that more power wouldn't be more fun...) Bought from Morries Minnetonka Subaru. started via email, closed deal with one visit and a couple of phone calls. no dickering, no hassle, no hard sell on warranties or clear coat treatments, etc. Visited 3 other dealers in the area (and I previously owned a 2001 OB Ltd., so I had knowledge of the car). Salesman at Booklyn Park Subaru walked down adjacent aisle watching me like I was a going to steal a car, followed me around the whole lot. Creeped me out. White Bear Subaru was low key and easy to deal with, would have matched car price but offered $1000 less on my trade in (F-150 aka 13 mpg). Also easy test drive, let me go wherever I wanted, no hurry, etc. Bloomington Subaru kept me in a chair for an hour while the salesman went back and forth to the manager, started out at MSRP, offered an 05 demo for sticker minus rebate, hard sell on dealer add-ons. Price started to come down after I mentioned that I had been looking at edmunds and other on-line info. offered less on trade in as well. (didn't drive an OB there, but drove an Acura TSX for comparison. Test drive was barely 2 miles with salesman giving instructions like the driving instructor I had 27 years ago. I only found out what a great car the TSX was when I tried another dealer, who copied my license & handed me the keys... what a concept... let the product sell itself! Just not the right car for me at this time.) I didn't try the new Burnsville Subaru, as they are farthest from me. Hope this helps someone.

Replying to: rocks1 (Oct 30, 2005 6:57 am) I had found the car at another dealer (World Subaru in Tinton Falls) who was offering a decent price ($29500 before taxes after rebate) for a 06 with Homelink, Armrest, rear and side cargo nets, and wheel locks. I then called Flemington, who not only beat that by $200, but gave me $1800 more on trade-in (that for a car with the same options except the shock sensor instead of the wheel locks). All of this was done via phone and email. I finally saw the car when I went to pick it up Friday night! After my experience I would defintiely recommend Flemington due to the easy, no pressure sale, as well as their excellent service area. Just for comparison - I went to the Staten Island Subaru (where I live)- The girl who came out to help us had her blouse half way open, in slippers, with no knowledge of which model was which. I said I was interested in either the OB XT LTD or the LL Bean. She points to a base 2.5i OB and says thats the XT LTD. Then, after I correct her, she points to a 2.5i LTD and says there's the Bean. Finally she takes out a 06 Bean for a test drive. After the drive, when I asked what the car would run me, she quoted me the sticker. My wife and I left as quickly as possible. One last piece of advice. Be prepared when you go and are ready to buy. World Subaru saw me pulling out the different print outs with all the break downs from Edmunds, and one other source. Seeing this he asked for my bottom line, and then agreed. Mark |

Hello all, First post here - so, I'm shopping for a 2005 Outback XT Auto Limited. It appears as though the rebates will continue in November (according to Subaru.com). Edmunds has an invoice of $30,123. Subtracting $1500 cash back, gives a price of $28,623-. I am not sure if the $500 to dealer incentive is in still in effect. I'm in the Denver area, and the credit union buying service is quoting 'around 28,400' which is about $1K more than the Fitzmall price. Can anyone suggest a target price I should be aiming for? SInce ')6s are already being rebated $1K, I'd hope to get a substantially better deal on an 'O5. cheers bianchi98

Replying to: bat1161 (Nov 02, 2005 9:19 am) for me, I'll shop around for quotes. If I can beat the credit union fleet price then all well and good - if not, I'm still way under invoice. cheers bianchi98
