Subaru extended warranties by chrisl22

Did any of you guys who have recently bought (or are buying) an Outback get an extended warranty or pre-paid maintenance plan? I just saw that the pre-paid maintenance plan can be used at any Subaru dealer, which is a plus.
 
I'm still trying to decide about these final two details.

We have a Subaru Gold warranty on our Legacy, but that was way back in 2002 and the pricing has changed since then.
 
One nice benefit - you get roadside assistance for the entire duraction, 7 years in our case.

I remember that. I'm wondering, too, if someone has a recent price...and any feeling about the prepaid maintenance plan, now that I know it can be used at any Subaru dealership.

Well, dealers have the holdback and depending on the time and model, other little incentives that we may never know about. Granted, they're scraping by, but it's not as if they have nothing left after paying the manufacturer for the car you bought at invoice.
  
That said, you paid invoice of $30842? No rebate? That's $1500 the dealer made right there, plus whatever he charged you in doc fees.

Is current rebate $2500 or $2000; Fair Price for 2006 2006 2.5i Demo? by mississippi

We are contemplating buying our first Subaru - pretty much a base model version: 2006 2.5i wagon 4EAT-S, white with taupe cloth, auto, auto-dimming mirror and floor mats. It was a dealer demo and has 4000 miles on it. A Virginia dealership is offering it at $22,229 (plus Taxes and tags). Based upon my research, I am planning to offer them $19,454 for this vehicle ($22,229 less the $2500 rebate less the $275 SDAF). I'd appreciate any thoughts re this deal and/or counter-offer. Thx.

2006 Outback or Forester? by willowct

I'm only 5' even and am deciding between a 2006 Forester or a 2006 Outback. The Subaru dealer put them both on equal financial footing for me, so the decision comes down to the fantastic visibility of the Forester or the luxury bells and whistles of the Outback. Their being pretty much the same price surprised us, but we figured it had to do with this month's rebates, etc.
  
Has any one else decided between the two?

I don't know which part of Virginia you are buying your car from, but if you don't mind taking a trip up to Rockville or Gaithersburg, Maryland, You should check out the prices at Fitzgerald Auto Mall. They have brand new 2.5i Outback Wagons 4EAT for $21,455 in the color that you are looking for, in addition to other colors for under $22K. So the price that the VA dealership is asking is too much for a used vehicle, so the $19K or so that you are offering might be a good offer.
Good Luck.

I recently was determining between an Outback and a Forester myself. I chose a 2.5i limited Outback. The suspension was the final deciding point with me. I liked the Forester alot. It certainly is more nimble, and I liked the size. But the Outback just rides (to me) a lot smoother. The stereo's a bit better, I think (6 instead of 4 speakers -- is that right?). I love the moonroof (but you can get that in a Forester) and the leather interior is a plus for me. It feels really comfortable. I like being in it. But they're certainly both great cars. The "feel" of the Outback, chiefly the suspension, again was my deciding factor.

$22,229 is way too high, even as a starting point for negotiations. 4000 miles makes this a used car, it should cost at the very least 10% less than the best deal on a new one.
 
I find the Forester more fun than the Legacy. Plus it costs a bit less than the Outback. You can get a Premium pack for about the price of a base Outback and get that gigantic moonroof. For a base model you'll save a grand or two easily. I've seen $18,997 for an automatic X, a great deal.
