I went to Fread Beans Subaru in Doylestown PA (about 55 miles from my home in NJ). You could also try Becker Subaru in PA, as they were VERY close in price also.

Cacman I think you can do better. Tell them $390 a month and include the tax payment. I would not gamble, as March seems to be a good time for dealers to try and PUSH what they have left. The closer it gets to July, the less inventory they have, the more they can get for what they have left. Also, your talking about a 35K truck. When the new features come out on the new model this summer (rear video, new front grill, etc), they might become more popular, or ask for more. Why risk it? You have a decent offer. Push these guys! You tell them if they give you the $390/month including taxes, you will come in by the end of the day today to sign the papers. That will get them moving. Be prepared to be there to get your new Tribeca. Good luck!

Well - here is the latest -
 
Tribeca LTD - 7 passenger - NAV, DVD, -Puddle lights - Splash Guards - Bumper Cover - Cargo Tray - MSRP - $ 38,802
 
36 mo - 36,000 miles - 1st month payment and license fee's
due at signing - $ 34,175 cap cost - 56% res - .00032 MF
 
$363.59 per month plus tax ( 10% ) - total pmt of $ 399.95 - total out of pocket 399.95+163.95 - $ 563.90 - plus they are throwing in an addl DVD head phone ( 3 kids ) - had to go to different dealership - 1st dealership said - sorry - no can do - some people are more aggressive than others - all done on the phone -
 
A couple of observations based on my Saturday of going to numerous dealerships - 1. The level of car salesman has really dropped in the past 3-4 years - The Subaru dealer I went to, the guy smelled of alcohol at 9:30 in the morning - When we test drove the car with nav - he stated "I don't know much about computers, and nothing about this navigation system - if you buy the car we will have someone show you how it works" - I was amazed how much more I knew about the car than the salesperson knew -
The other dealers - Ford, Nissan - Mitsu - all had kids ( under 25) that just started in the past month or two -
 
Also, after investigating the prices on all the SUV's with the options I wanted, you would pay approx $ 150 to $ 250 more per month on a comparably equipped vehicle - Anyway don't settle for the 1st quote - there is always someone that is more hungry

Just walked out of the showroom, literally 2 hours ago and got great deal on a 36 month/45000 mi lease.
 
Here's what I got:
-7 Passenger -Black w/beige - with DVD and Nav
-Out of Pocket: $1000 cash plus trade-in ($1500 value)
---Trade-in 1994 Volvo 850 with 210,415 miles (really only worth $1000, every light on the dash is on)
-The $2500 went to the following:
   -$359.18 first month payment
   -$50 title fee
   -$34.50 reg fees
   -$50 sales tax (on the $1000 cash down)
   -$2006.32 cap reduction
-Negotiated Price $34,000 ($1,726 below invoice)
-Acquisition fee - $595
-Doc fee- $198
Bottom line $359.18/mo for 36 months PLUS I got the 2yr/24,000 mile maintenance coverage thrown in ($495 value).

Cacman that is excellent news!! Glad to hear all your shopping around really paid off. It is like anything else...the more you put into it, the better off you are. I agree with the quality of SOME dealers. However, I spend all day on the phone for business, so my gut is pretty good. It is easier for me to eliminate unqualified or undesirable dealers via my conversations and e-mails with them. Sure enough the dealer I went with was the most knowledgeable and spent over an hour going through the Navigation and all the little kinks the truck has. She has her own Tribeca, and her knowledge made my life much easier. Glad to hear things worked out for you. Now when are you picking up your new Tribeca?

Pickup up the Tribeca today - salesman was very professional - picked me up at work and drove me to the dealership (about 15 miles away) - He was very knowledgeable about the vehicle - He especially knew a lot about the navigation - very helpful - I am very happy with my choice -
 
One question for all of you lease people - did they charge you a $ 300 lease termination fee to be paid once the car is turned in a the end of the lease?

The $300 lease termination fee (I believe) is from Subaru of America. If you decide to lease another Subaru when your current lease ends, then they will usually waive that fee. They did that on my Legacy when I turned it in for my Tribeca. Sounds like you got what you wanted Cacman. Enjoy it!

Yea - he told me that the fee would be waived if I leased another Subaru in 3 years - He also told me that the lease had $ 1,500 of repairs built into it for turn in - That made me feel better since I know the wife will be sure to scratch and dent the new car

   Trade-in 1999 Olds Bravada with 91,000 miles (KBB value $3500). I got $4500 which was dispersed as follows: $2500 cash back, $2000 toward cap reduction, first payment and fees.
 
   -Negotiated price - $33,428

New Tribeca Owner! by yoyodk

I didn't think that I would be posting my prices paid experience on the B9 Tribeca forum. My price point was more in line with the Pilot and I was toying with the idea of saving a little more money and going with the new RAV4.
 
Well, after sending out internet requests to the Honda and Toyota dealers in my area, I thought what the heck, I'll send out a request to the Subaru dealers for the Tribeca. A couple of the Honda dealers came down to invoice and the Toyota dealers were no where close to invoice. I live in the Pacific Northwest and it appears as if the Japanese SUV's are a little harder to bargain for than in other areas. Anyway, I'm meandering...
 
One Subaru dealer (Chaplin's in Bellevue) came back with a quote of $868 below invoice, along with $1,000 customer cash, no destination or NW Marketing fee ($275), and offered Subaru financing of 4.9% over 60 months (lower APR's for shorter terms). I thought this was a deal too good to pass up.
 
Initially, I just wanted the 7-passenger Limited with DVD (no NAV), but there were only 6 vehicles that fit the bill in a 3 state area, none in a color that I wanted. So I added in the NAV to expand my choices and the internet dealer located a car in southern Washington that was suitable.
 
Here's what I got: 7-pass Limited w/ DVD & NAV, Seacrest Metallic, cross bars, puddle lights, auto dimming mirror, impact sensor, hood protector, front and rear bumper protector, cargo tray, wheel locks, and of course the cheap cargo cover.
 
After subtracting the $868 from the invoice price, the vehicle came to $35,766 and I got to subtract $1,000 off of this after tax, title and license were added in. The dealer showed me the invoice price on his sheet, so his numbers added up, but I thought the invoice price on his sheet seemed a little high. What do you guys think? Was I literally taken for a ride?
 
I figure I spent about $2K more than a fully loaded Pilot, but I got the NAV/DVD combo and full time AWD so it was money well spent.
