#964 of 2261 Is current rebate $2500 or $2000; Fair Price for 2006 2006 2.5i Demo? by mississippi May 28, 2006 (7:19 pm)
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.

#965 of 2261 2006 Outback or Forester? by willowct May 29, 2006 (7:31 am)
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?

Replying to: mississippi (May 28, 2006 7:19 pm) 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.

Replying to: willowct (May 29, 2006 7:31 am) 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.
#969 of 2261 For vs. OB by ateixeira May 30, 2006 (6:25 am)
$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.   -juice Replies to this message: mississippi (May 30, 2006 6:35 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (May 30, 2006 6:25 am) Yikes! Thanks for the reply. I've checked out the Edmonds and cars.com pricing guides. The car we are considering is a basic 2.5 i model. ONly options are automatic, auto dimming mirror and floormats. I checked the odometer and the mileage is 4800 miles (it was driven by the dealer's wife). What do you think is a fair price for me to pay (exclusive of Taxes and Tags)? OR better yet, what do you think would be a great deal?
#971 of 2261 OE base auto by ateixeira May 30, 2006 (7:00 am)
$21,455 for the cheapest OB auto from fitzmall.com, and I'd be wanting to save about 10% off that. So figure $19,309, maybe $19.5k tops.   Add a bit for options, so just keep it under $20k and it's a deal IMO.   -juice
#972 of 2261 2005 vs 2006 Outback? by quorkus Jun 05, 2006 (4:58 pm)
Ok... I finally struggled and made the commitment in my mind to buy an Outback and not a Forester (The Forester console inhibited my leg room... I'm 6'2" all legs)   So I have been looking at a 2005 2.5i Wagon and the specific one I was looking at was sold before I even had a chance to test it! Argh! The car salesman was trying to convince me that I should consider a new 2006 because my "monthly payment would be the same" Is this really true? I mean what if I put 8k down? Please help!!   thank you,   r Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 06, 2006 6:40 am) garandman (Jun 11, 2006 3:07 am)

Replying to: quorkus (Jun 05, 2006 4:58 pm) The '06 has incentives so he may not be wrong.   Also, the '06 has the better crash test results, so go for the '06. You'll have better selection, too.   -juice
