I paid $665 for the 4/60,000 gold for my Tribeca, plus I received $564.50 on the remaining balance from the plan from my 2003 Forester. Remember guys, if you don't use the warranty and you have remaining time left on it, you are entitled to a refund on the balance of the plan.

Anchor Subaru in Lincoln, RI supposedly has several truckloads of Tribeca's they are selling as "scratch & dent" They say the scratches are very minor, barely noticeable but they cannot fix them otherwise would have disclose that to potential customers.
 
They have a few of the 7 passenger with leather, I believe they list for $34,500 to $34,900 and are selling for $29,000. Seems like a pretty good deal if the damage is not even noticeable.
 
I am just concerned about getting lousy gas mileage. I presently have 05 Outback 2.5 ltd & get decent mileage on that vehicle. Plus, I love the large sunroof--would be difficult to go back to a vehicle with a smaller, "normal" one!
 
When I purchased this vehicle 12 months ago got a great deal on extended warranty 100,000 miles for 5 years for $899. I don't think anyone could have beaten that price at the time. Also, got 1.9% financing & still have two years to go.
 
As much as I like the Tribeca's will probably wait two more years. By then perhaps they will have improved the gas mileage somewhat.

The deal is tempting. There were a batch of these damaged near Indiana while in storage awaiting delivery to dealers, so the deal is legit.
 
You only give up the paint warranty, basically.

I just picked up a Seacrest Green 5-Seat Ltd with Auto Dimming mirror/Compass, All Weather mats, Splash guards in Lewisville,TX
 
Prices paid:
Price: $30,795
Plus
6.x% tax
Documentary fees : $50
Registration: $105
Dealer inventory tax: $63.75
Inspection fee: $21.75
Other : $5
--------------------
Total : $32965
 
Paid $2965 down payment and rest Subaru financing 1.9% APR for 24 months.
 
The deal was quickly done over phone and completed in 2 hours. However negotiation for 7yr/100000miles/$100 Ded. Warranty broke down as I was quoted $1650, I asked for around $1200. The dealer said that its not even a ball park offer. I am curious to know
1. Was my offer for warranty a fair one ?
2. Can I now buy the warranty from other dealers in TX ?
   How will buying extended warranty from a
   different dealer effect me in future (i,e service
   quality etc)?
 
The decision to B9 done after test driving Murano & RAV4.
Excellent ride quality, safety & handling is top class. Interior is posh, feel of RX330 class, All features are standard which is great & lastly the Boxer engine...
 
Things I am worred about/Cons of B9
-----------------------------------
1. The rear hatch door might rattle after a few thousand miles, the rear hatch door sturts are weak too. Subaru should redesign it in 2007.
2. Rear view camera should be added in 2007
3. Low milage (I know this before buying)
 
Happy riding B9.

Congrats on the nice ride! Check the main B9 Tribeca forum - a few other folks there have experienced weak struts on the rear hatch. I believe they're being replaced with stronger struts for free under the manufacturer's warranty.
 
Also, rumor does have it that a rearview camera will be available in the '07 model, which is scheduled to debut in a week at the Chicago Auto Show. I'd guess it'll be on sale in June.

I recently leased(My 1st lease) the Tribeca from Annapolis Volvo and Subaru. I must say after walking out of this dealership, I have never had a better buying experience. They went out of their way to make my buying experience pleasant, enjoyable and supportive. Never had a buying experience that came anywhere near this in the Metro DC area. I bought the 7 passenger with Nav and many other extras. I paid thousands off $37,000 + MSRP. My payments will be 380/month for 36 months, 15000/yr mileage, no money down except taxes, tags and 1st monthly payment and will owe about $21,000 if we buy the car from them.
I love this SUV! This is my first Subaru. I am enjoying this better than my FX which I sold. Someone mentioned a back up camera, I assume this was an add on but found the camera in my FX useless when it was sunny or rainy out and I couldn't see the nav picture. Good luck with the camera, I would not choose to have that installed in this car.
Has anyone figured out the MP3 player? I want to attach my ipod to it and so far I am very confused? Thanks

Great lease price
I have had mine since 12/05
$404 a month with $1000 down same vehicle with NAV and DVD
My girlfriend got me the Harmon Kardon unit for i-pod
Circuit City installed for $75
this is by far the best and easiest compatible unit for ipod
plus it matches interior
If you can rig the i-pod via the MP3 and it is offers a clear way to see the songs than please share idea

You cant attach your ipod to your system unless you have rear DVD system, and even then you have to be all the way in the back siting in the 7 passenger seat area to use it. However if you burn Mp3s to a cd without any folders it plays great.

This Harmon Kardon you spoke about, what exactly is it and how is it installed? What's the purpose of having MP3 is you can't listen to your Ipod through it? Can it really be for only homemade CD's?
