longer you wait, more chance selection of 06's will get thin and you may not get vehicle you want, depends how picky you are on color etc. Try Flatirons Subaru in Boulder, hard to beat their pricing & they appear upfront & honest (yes they are a car dealer!), but seriously they earn the business.

Ask if the locals have any of the "paint-damaged" cars available and what kind of deal they can offer. You won't be able to see the difference anyway.

Sounds like you did quite well!! Did you get this deal through an internet quote or was it hard-fought negtiation? What region of the country is this? Thanks for your time.

We are in the Minneapolis area. We simply requested price quotes in person from several local dealers. The quotes were fairly similar. We might have come out slightly ahead when we switched from a black car to a gold one. The only gold 2.5i Limited in the dealer's inventory had about $500 more in options, but they offered to sell it at the same price. FYI, the 2.5i with auto that lists for $26,420 was being offered at $21,500. The extended warranty deal was not even mentioned until we were signing the paperwork to purchase the car.

Am I correct that the $23,995 was the final price out the door with the $2000 rebate? Did you have to pay extra for anything other than the warranty (and TTL)? Thanks again!

There was a $50 "document" fee--other than that it was $23,995 plus TTL and an extended warranty if we wanted one (no pressure, but my 98 Outback overheated at 95K so it was an easy decision at half price). That price is after the rebate. It is substantially (about $1700) less than invoice after accounting for the rebate so there must be manufacturer to dealer incentives as well. I asked two dealers whether the price would be affected by whether we used the 0%/2 yr financing and both said no.

new rav4 vs outback

I am new to this forum folks. I am trying to decide between the new rav4 and outback 2.5i.Does the lack of stability controls make a huge difference in snow and bad weather. Also the base tires are not thought to be very good . Any suggestions on better all-season tires.
thanks

Forget about the lack of stability control, how do you feel about the RAV4's AWD shutting off over 26 mph?

FWD

It's basically FWD 99% of the time. I'm not sure if they let traction control or the AWD system act first, but I think I'd just go ahead and get a FWD model in that case. I just don't see the rear axle doing very much in that case. Save the money (and weight and fuel) and just get FWD, since it'll probably feel the same.
And I'm an AWD fanatic.

I have decided on the outback but during a brief test-drive found the base engine short of power during the start even compared to my 1996 camry 4 cylinder. Any thoughts...? i will check this out again. Also thinking of the H-6 wagon with cloth. The prices i have been quoted are 500-800 under invoice after 2000 dollar rebates. Is this ok?.. some people have got better deals.? advice thanks iknev1
