| I just leased a Limited 7 passenger (fairly loaded but no DVD or Nav) for 36 months/36,000 miles. $2900 down and that includes licenses, fees, and first month payment. I have 35 payments remaining of $335/month. I got the vehicle from Mastro Subaru in Tampa. Best buying experience in over 30 years of buying/leasing new cars. | |

Replying to: b9bingo (Jan 11, 2006 10:04 am) It has 7K miles and the salesman said he didn't know why they did it but they traded in on a hybrid Escape??? They want 28,995 and he indicated they might go a little lower. I had not intention of buying being perfectly happy with my Forester, but according to what I see online it looks like the invoice is in the 33K ball park on this... Any input? |

Replying to: kavoom (Mar 09, 2006 4:36 pm) You can find invoice pricing for B9 Tribeca, and for available accessories/options, here: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/tribeca/tribeca2006.html I'll second Subienewbie2's opinion - if it truly is a base 7-pass, I wouldn't consider it a great deal unless you could get it for $27k or less. A quick search of a major used car website found two base 7-pass models with about 8k miles for $26,995 asking price at a Subaru dealership in New York state, so that shows you $27k is certainly reasonable to shoot for. You could also probably find a 5-pass Limited model for the same price, which would have leather, 160W AM/FM/CD changer with subwoofer/amp and 8 speakers, though the 7-pass has 2nd-row A/C controls and rear headliner vents the 5-pass doesn't. Do you want the extra row & more A/C, or leather & upgraded sound?

Replying to: raybear (Mar 10, 2006 5:15 am) Hmm... are you in Subaru of New England territory, raybear? That would explain the price difference. They tack on their own fee above and beyond SOA's, raising the dealer's invoice. Either way, the couple hundred bucks difference wouldn't be enough to spoil a good deal on a used vehicle. |

The experience could not have gone better thanks to the up front research from these Forums. Here's the skinny: 7 Seat LTD Tribeca - Champagne Beige (No Nav, No DVD) Puddle Lights Compass Mirror Aero Crossbar Splash guards Wheel Locks Weather Mats Luggage Cover MSRP: $35,569 After looking at Carsdirect.com and Edmunds.com, came up with a target price of $31,900. After looking at NADA and KBB, came up with $8K for my '99 Passat to trade. Bottom line after the salesman made 3 trips to the manager: They agreed to go invoice ($32,885 per the sheet they showed me), then I said take off the $1,000 dealer rebate you're getting from Subaru, and it became $31,855. They accepted. SCORE! Their first offer for my trade was $5500, but I held firm and got $7800. I figured the $200 Subaru Bucks I gave them made up for the $200 short of my target price on the trade. The sales guy and F&I guy will get all the best marks when I get my survey from Subaru. Went with 48 mo. at 3.9% as the 24 mo. 0 interest was a bit steep on the payment. Whoo hoo! Thanks for all the valuable info on these forums - priceless.

Replying to: newtosubie (Mar 10, 2006 2:09 pm) Congrats on your new Tribeca. Please tell me where did you learn of $1,000 dealer rebate? Is it regional? I'm in NYC and considering leasing the Tribeca - 7-pass LTD with DVD and several other options. Don't know if this rebate exists here. If it does, don't know if it's already included in their current $299 lease offer or wether it can be applied to a lease. If anyone knows, please chime in. Best regards, O.Bender
