which way do I go? by justlookin3

At this point I do not have written quotes. The biggest difference between the demo and the new Tribeca (both with navigation systems) is the mileage. Demo has 5000 miles, while other does not. The salesman at the dealership with demo has offered "no more than $32K", in his words "under invoice" for that one. It is still considered new and would have full factory warranty. The other dealership started the negotiating at approximately $34,500, which I believe is over invoice for the Tribeca with navigation and no miles. I guess my real question is whether the fact that one of the vehicles has 5000 miles on it is relevant. All 3 dealers are in the central IL/IA area. I'll see if I can get detailed quotes on all 3 and post then.

Take the money - if the full warranty is in effect, I would definitely take the cash - good luck

Having just gone through this, I can tell you that the incentives are MUCH better on the 7Pass Limited. Subaru produced more of these, and are offering better incentives on it BECAUSE they have more inventory, and as a result, Subaru is offering more DEALER CASH on this model (I have heard as much as 3-4K off MSRP). The 7 Passenger limited, has a list price of $34,500 without Nav or DVS, and I have seen as much as $2,400 held back from the dealer from incentives and dealer cash (you might even do better). This would bring the invoice to a number closer to $31,000 for the 7 Passenger Limited Tribeca, with the residual value currently at 56%, and the Money Factor .00032. The weird part is that the money factor was actually HIGHER if you were to lease the Truck for 39 months (.00150) or 42 months (.00190). To buy it, you could probably get them down to under $30K based upon all the dealer cash out there on this truck. I e-mailed with about 15 dealers and had two quotes to my liking before even stepping in a dealership (outside of a test drive). One dealer had about 30 on the lot. Go to Subaru.com and look at your local dealers. Then when you get to the local dealer website, search the inventory. I noticed that MANY of the dealers had a large number of Tribecas (mostly 7 Pass limiteds) sitting on their lots. Those are the ones you want to hit first. It is a numbers game. Keep going until you get closer to the numbers I have mentioned. You will see them,
 
Now, the numbers on the 5 passenger make no sense, even though they are advertising the $299/month lease with 2K down nationally. The Residual is the same for the 5 Passenger, but the Money Factor was .00070. I was able to lease a 7 Pass Limited WITH Navigation for $367/month with 0 down and 2 months left on my old lease, so you do the math. I had a subaru dealer with 30 years experience tell me that they simply cannot do as well on the 5 passenger as on the 7.

location is a factor also
 
Location should not be factor, unless the selling dealer offers free loaners or something of value that is not part the SOA program.
 
You can buy a car from one dealer and take to any dealer for warranty repair. The warranty is from SOA not the dealer.

thanks for the advice. I had only briefly considered the 7 passenger because I really don't need the extra seating. However, if the numbers are truly that much better, then it certainly warrants a look.

SoNE has some fees that are higher than other regions.
 
Also, demand in Alaska is high enough, and I think there's only one dealer, so prices there tend to be a lot higher. Some people even go to Seattle to pick up their Subie.

Location is a factor in that different regions have different incentives. For example, SNE has a stair-step program for the Tribeca that gives dealers up to $1000 per unit sold in March; this is on top of the current $1000 for the 7-seater offered by SOA.

Maybe you were trying to say the same thing.
 
You buy where you get the best deal.

In today's paper, Somerset Subaru (SE Mass) has Subaru's advertised for 1000 less than invoice. For a B9 LE with a list price of approx 34,500, I was quoted a price of approc $31,500. That still seems a bit high. Anchor Subaru in Smithfield, RI seems to have several of the same modesl they are selling for approx $30,000. I e mailed them offering $28,000 for one of them, let's see what kind of response they have.
 
Any real world figures out there on gas mileage? I am concerned I will only average in the high teens...

If you do mainly city or around town driving - mid to high teens is about right. Highway 20 to 23 depends on speed and roads.
