OK, looked again, and in one spot it does say "up to $500", while in others it just says "$500 Owner Loyalty Cash". So who knows what that means. No idea on the rebate, au1994. Right now the X is a screaming deal, but I kinda want heated seats and a moonroof, and that model only gets half the incentive, just like the LL Bean. Maybe when the 07 models arrive, the rebate will be the same across the board, at least I hope. The X Premium auto is around $22k, maybe a tad higher. If they increase the rebate and accept my $500 coupon, that would put the price around $20.5k, I might have to jump at the chance. I think it's unlikely that both would occur, though. Luckily I can afford to be patient. My '98 is running well, so there's really no reason to get rid of it yet. -juice |

I was just quoted the following for a 2006 LL Bean Outback Wagon in Brilliant Silver: $28434. This is the out the door price and includes the all weather floor mats as well as the rear cargo net. This seems like a good price - any thoughts? Bill

I think MSRP is about $33,400 with the stated options while invoice should be around $30,850. Bill

Anyone who has been following my tortured tale of woe know that I finally bit the bullet and bought a used 2005 Legacy / Outback Wagon. I didn't get a rock bottom bargain but I did ok. First I get a call from the dealer with a "loss leader" priced about $1,000 below what I paid (but it sold at the end of Feb). I had been speaking with their internet manager to see if they could do any better on some similar vehicles they had. The dealer's owner actually got involved and said no. But here we are two weeks later and they've got another "loss leader" that --on paper-- looks about $1,000.00 cheaper. The salesman assures me that I can back out of the deal I have if I haven't "taken delivery" yet. Next, I get an e-mail from the manager at another dealer. I respond and explain I've bought a comparable vehicle for $1,000.00 less than their "loss leader". He replies by email expressing some disappointment that I didn't contact them to let them try and meet or beat the price and advises me that if I haven't taken delivery yet that they have plenty of used 2005s and that they'll give me free tire changes for life and some free oil changes. I respond that I got the warranty for about 45% off and the autostart at a $150.00 discount and remind him that he and the saleperson had made it pretty clear that their "internet prices" were not negotiable. I haven't heard from him again. Despite these developments I don't have any buyer's remorse and I still feel good about the purchase. My only minor regret is that Becker Subaru isn't a little closer otherwise I might be driving a new 2006 for about $2000.00 more but then I wouldn't have the all weather mats and cargo nets. Oh well, in about 15 years this might be my daughter's car and I'll be in the market for a new one. Perhaps Becker will have a Massachusetss dealership by then or perhaps I'll be in a better position to take the road trip. ~Cath |

Replying to: cathmac (Mar 27, 2006 6:04 am) As to Becker, they are in a separate region for Subaru and pay less for the cars they sell than the New England dealers; having a place up your way wouldn't make a difference.

Replying to: raybear (Mar 28, 2006 3:32 am) Obviously you are both right. Even with the benefit of hindsight I don't think I would have done anything differently, except perhaps to go to Becker in Pennsylvania. I feel pretty good about the whole deal. Even if someone else buys one of the other ones for a less in a couple of weeks I still got the pick of the litter with lower miles and a more recent in-service date. I have a car that is almost brand new but with a little more than 6 years of manufacturer's warranty. Thanks to everyone for all the feedback. ~Cath
