2007 Tribeca Price in San Diego by rnitz

New member to this board (great resource). We just bought a new 2007 Tribeca Ltd. last week, 7-passenger, with NAV/DVD in the new gold color. Used the Costco plan and paid $100 over invoice (a little over $ 35K, if I remember).
 
We looked at the 06's because they were discounting them so much, but we settled on the 07 due to color/features. I hadn't seen much pricing info yet on the 07's (and we really needed a new car), so I'm not sure we got that good of a price (oh well).

Basically paying invoice may not be the cheapest possible price, but it's certainly a very fair one! Congrats on the new vehicle... if you've taken delivery of it already, I think you're the first here to do so for an '07. So that's the new Harvest Gold, right? I haven't seen any pictures of that color... how does it compare to the previous gold?

Yes, we drove the 07 Tribeca off the lot on July 4 - we love it.
 
The new Harvest gold is darker, more "goldish", and less "yellowish" than the previous gold color (Champagne ?). This looks a bit like the gold of the Lexus RX350 type of color. We liked the gold colors in general, but the 06 was too light and "yellowish" for our tastes. It was nice to find one on the lot.
 
Some other notes on the new model: the rear camera for backing up is a lot of fun. It's got tick marks to show the distance of items that are behind you. It's tempting to use it exclusively (for parking and stuff), but they warn you to also look, as the camera may be deceiving.
 
Still trying to plug an IPOD in to the aux port and learning how all of the other features work. It was so new, the dealership didn't know how all the stuff worked .

Very cool! Congrats!
 
The old gold/champagne color seemed to have a bit of a greenish cast in certain light.

That sounds like a lot of fun. You can aim and hit the target every time.
 
The target being a tight parking spot, of course.

Canadian buying Tribeca from the US by khn
Jul 23, 2006 (6:31 pm)
Reply
I'm from Montreal and would like to buy a Tribeca from the US. I carefully read the instructions on the RIV site.
  
1) Do I have to pay any sale taxes in the US?
2) Do I need to have insurance before driving it back to Montreal (I guess yes.)?
3) Any dealers recommended in Plattsburgh, Burlington or around.
4) What modifications are needed on the Tribeca to comply with canadian regulation?
  
Thank you in advance.

COLORS!!!! by bgadlage

Hi,
I am going to purchase an 07 soon.
I want the beige leather int, so that limits me to the White, Gold and Seacrest Green.
 
I have seen the white and it looks nice.
 
Has anyone seen the gold or the Seacrest?
 
I WANT to like the Seacrest, but can't tell by the brochure.
 
Does anyone know if it is:
 More green?
More Blue?
Or does it have a silvery tone to it?
Dose it look minty at all?
Sorry for all the questions.
 
I want to decide on color so I can then take the best deal.
Thanks
Belva

2006 Limited 5-Pass. Price by william642

Just bought a 2006 Limited Platinum with dark gray leather interior. No factory or dealer installed options other than the Limited package. Stickered for 32980, got it for 29980 (before rebate). Will pay tax on 29980 but then got the 2000 rebate AND 4.9% for 72 months makes this $480 per month with zero down for 72 months. When I sell my 2000 Intrepid I will send entire amount to Subaru finance company. Any feedback regarding price paid would be appreciated.

Burning Canadians by mcperr

We have been shopping for a mid-size SUV and have driven and quite liked the Tribeca. However, the ridiculously high Cdn pricing has put us off. Is there anyone from Subaru corporate lurking here that can explain why a base 7-passenger B-9 is 20 percent higher in Canada than the US after converting the dollars? This is without destination/freight/PDI, which itself is almost exactly double in equivalent dollars, notwithstanding that we are only 230 miles farther from Lafayette than some place such as Great Falls Montana. I don't believe that the difference is at the dealer end, as Canadian invoice on a 7-passenger basic is CAD42,047, or USD36,842 at current rates.
 
Pretty frustrating when we see that our US friends are buying Ltds with navigation for that or less. We won't be buying at these differentials.

Have you thought about purchasing from a U.S. dealer? Sounds like it's relatively easy, a little paperwork and patience could save you thousands and thousands. Here's some good info about it:
http://www.cars101.com/canada.html
 
A base model 7-pass invoice, minus $2500 rebates, is $28,500 (US). I bet you could get one for $27,000, a huge difference over Canadian prices. For example, Fitzmall has a 7-pass Limited with NAV for just over $30,000.
