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.

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?

$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.

2005 vs 2006 Outback? by quorkus

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,

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.

Hello all. Yeaterday I went to a local dealership on Long Island, NY. I'm looking to buy an Outback 2.5i wagon base model, no options. With the current cashback of 2,000 the dealer gave me a price of 23,700 which included dim. mirror and cargo net. Of course this price is neg. Today, I called another dealership and the sales mgr. quoted me a bottom line price of 23,000 after cashback. In your opinion do you feel this is a fair price....remember I live on Long Island where we pay extra just to breathe!!!

The prices seem a little high to be honest. Check out fitzmall.com to get a targe price. In NY, Van Bortel is a no-haggle dealer that I would compare as well.

After the $2,000 back I paid $21,400 for an '06 2.5i 5-speed with no options. This is in Albany California (near SF).
