#756 of 1634 2006 OB 2.5i Limited 5MT $24,900 by riverrat3 Nov 29, 2005 (5:04 pm)
I'm about one hour away from signing on the dotted line for a 2006 Outback 2.5i Limited 5MT in Champagne. The only option is the fancy auto dimming mirror. After a fair amount of back and forth which involved bringing in ads from the Portland paper, Edmunds quote for invoice ($200 less than Subaru of America is currently showing) I have haggled to a price of $24,900 plus $218 registration fee. We have no sales tax here in Oregon. I am in Corvallis.   I believe (and hope) this is a pretty good deal. I think it is within a few hundred of the best I could possibly do by shopping in different towns.

But go for it. Don't fixate on what amounts to less than 1% of your up-front costs, that should not spoil the new car buying experience for you. Dealer employees gotta eat too!   -juice Replies to this message: riverrat3 (Nov 29, 2005 9:29 pm) ateixeira (Nov 30, 2005 9:40 am) bat1161 (Nov 30, 2005 10:49 am) riverrat3 (Nov 30, 2005 12:37 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 29, 2005 8:12 pm) Well I am definitely the type of person who needs to know he got the best deal possible, at least within reason.   Having said that, my time is worth something too- I'm pretty busy these days. Its not worth it to me to drive around to dealers in different towns and fight over a couple hundred dollars. Any free time I have these days is worth more than money frankly. And I live in a fairly yuppie town- I don't think I could have done much better here.   I'm pleased, as long as I don't hear in the near future of any signifcantly better deals. And if I do, oh well!

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 30, 2005 9:40 am) I have to agree. When I recently bought the Bean I went to one dealer, where after lots of test drives we decided on the LL Bean wagon. I then compared prices from a couple of dealers through email and phone calls. It defintely saved "time(yime), money, and gas" to use the internet to shop around.   Mark

yime? Is that short for "your time"?   -juice

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 30, 2005 9:40 am) I guess I'm not getting your point about "too late now".   I most certainly shopped via the web, starting with Edmunds. This Subaru Crew site was a great help. For instance, I learned about Fitzmall here and checked with them. They are currently showing the exact same car we bought (2.5i Limited 5MT) for $24,837. They are on the other side of the country though.   I also compared prices in the most competitive market around here- Portland, and communicated with dealers there.   So what is your point about "too late now?" How much better than $24,900 do you think I could have done? (Options were the fancy mirror and security system upgrade.) I went back and forth with the dealer and got them to reduce the price three times.   I understand the point is now moot, but I'd like to know what you are getting at.

#764 of 1634 Re: Price of an '05 XT OB LTD (silver) [bat1161] by sufaru Dec 04, 2005 (6:44 am)
Replying to: bat1161 (Nov 02, 2005 9:19 am) The local dealer in Norfolk VA has an 05 new XT LTD silver that he emailed me a "sale" price of 27984. Dealer is Perry Subaru. If you want to take a ride to the south, he'd probably come off a few hundred more.
#765 of 1634 New 06 XT LTD w/ NAV by sufaru Dec 04, 2005 (6:51 am)
picked up a new gold OBXT loaded yesterday for essentially invoice (as listed on Edmunds) minus $1000 rebate so it ended up being ~$29300. Even after CARFAX showed my trade had been in a wreck (sideswiped, collected $900 from other drivers insurance and never got it fixed) he gave me $25 less than NADA for the vehicle in good condition. Driveaway with VA taxes, etc. was 30000.   Worst feature is the stereo/cd. Cant plug XM/iPod/MP3 player into it. :^(
