I am in Monmouth County of NJ.
 
A couple of dealers offered about $200-$400 Below whatever www.carpoint.com's invoice price on Tribeca 7 seats/leather with DVD and no Navi.
 
Their invoice and MSN's invoice do match.
 
It is <$500 invoice + $129 doc fee + 7.50 tires + 47.50 tag transfer + the big Tax. I test drove all the four - Nissan Murano, Highlander(not hybrid), Rx330 and Tribeca. I did not choose to test drive the (legacy) MDX. Tribeca is a winner. Very pleasant inside and extremely comfortable ride. Tribeca has very nice colors to choose from. Murano placement of the console etc was odd if not awkward(to me atleast). Murano may have a few extra options like memory and backup camera. But overall, me and my wife liked Tribeca lot better than others in the list. I was told that Subaru may add this camera feature soon. Toyota was kind of bland and I heard the 07 shape will change. Is this a reasonable price ?.

Sorry for the goof.
 
Two dealers, one is $200 and the other $400 below the invoice.
 
I have seen pretty good inventory on their lots.

Under invoice...
 
We've negotiated a 5 passenger LTD with puddle lights, dimming mirror, and other add-ons for just under $32,000 including everything but sales tax. We feel okay about the price.
 
We're working on the lease, just offered in NY for the first time in several years since the repeal of the vicarious liability laws. We've been quoted $389 for a 36 month lease, 12K miles, $2500 down, tax rolled into the lease. I've asked the dealer to give me money factor and buyout information which I haven't yet received. I'm told this lease is through Subaru Financial. It seems high to me.
 
Comments?

what if any action can be taken if you overpaid? by x5killer

I have been through this before and had it out with the dealer as well as still pursuing what action I can take short of what I have already done in letting SOA know. But as an example I saw someone post:
35200 +tax for my B9, options include (above mentioned 7psgr limited, pearl white, beige leather, Navigation, DVD) puddle lights, auto dimming rear view mirror, cargo tray and net.
 
I paid about 3,000 more for basically the same model. What can I do? The dealership was all helpful when trying to make the deal but after showing invoice pricing and expressing not being happy with the price at the time of the deal and afterwards under the impression that they would throw in some free options and future service consideration they basically only threw in 2 cheap options and then tricked me into spending over 500 more on other options and their installation while there getting the installation of the 2 cheap free options. They have since given me the silent treatment and not responded when I let them know of my further dissatisfaction.
I think they think they got away with it but they will lose much more by me never getting a vehichle from them again , spreading the word and giving them a bad rep, not taking it there for any service or giving them another cent for anything as well as letting SOA know my dissatisfaction in the survey and other communications.
 
Anyone know what else can be done. Can i take them to court for overcharging me?
heh.

I am not an attorney but I doubt if you can take any legal action, I suspect this dealer has covered his behind every step of the way. If it were me I would file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and then see if there is a consumer advocate in your local newspaper or possibly radio talk show and bring it to their attention. For sure you should contact SOA, but I would not expect much help there.
 
Finally what is the name and location of this dealer I certainly would not want to give them any business ...

Glanzman Subaru in Jenkintown, PA and according to them I got the best deal and they haven't been selling any Tribecas for anything under MSRP like the 1000 off MSRP that i got which was still over 2,000 over invoice. So yeah I wouldn't suggest trying to get a Tribeca from them as you'll have to pay MSRP while everyone else on here posts prices paid of just a few hundred over invoice, some at invoice and now some even below invoice.
 
Basically like most dealers they will be all nice to get the sale and seal the deal after which they will treat you like crap as they already made the big sale which to me is stupid because they are not thinking about future sales or revenue from service.

I don't see how this is feasible, how would you feel if a dealer lost money one year and then came after you for paying too little?
 
A deal is a deal. Do your research before the deal, not after. Too late to take action now. Chalk it up to a lesson learned, and enjoy the car.
 
You might even get better service at the dealer if they remember you and made a profit (car salesman are human and have families to feed, too).
 
Don't sweat it, I say.
