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:

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.

I got a 2006 5 psgr Ltd with puddle lights, mirror w/compass, wheel locks for $27572 from Fitzmall. Nice so far, wish it had an outlet in the dash for my radar detector but I love that the rear seats slide back...room for car seats without having to buy a minivan.

1. you will not be required to pay US tax. You will need evidence of your Canadian residency... driver's license, etc., I took my passport.
2. yes, you will need insurance!!! talk to your insurance company and provide them details of the new car including VIN #. You should have coverage from the moment you take possesion. Check also regarding license plate. e.g., Alberta license plates can be transferred on another vehicle for upto 15 days for transit without having to inform the registry.
3. I don't know
4. None
 
You will only pay GST at the border. Tribeca is made in the US.

Have been on the fance for quite some time, but bit the bullet today. Got 06 Tribeca 7 pass limited with nav, $26,350 with 10,000 miles on it. I realize for perhaps $4000 more or so could have gotten a new one (list on this exact model is $35,700 approx. What swung the deal was I got back $3000 more for my 05 Outback in trade than any other dealers.
 
Hope I did the right thing. Praying I will get highway mileage at least close to the 23 indicated on the sticker. Any & all comments would be appreciated.

Your deal sounds good to me. As for you MPG - That is the one thing that has disappointed me so far with the car. Just came back from a trip to the shore, car was load with 5 passengers and a luggage carrier - MPG was 18.3 - Maybe it was my driving habits. I was using the middle grade of gas on the trip. Maybe I would have done better with the highest grade of gas.

I have the "Gold" Nice color and it hides the dirt pretty well. Have received nice compliments.

That sounds great. The original owner took the biggest depreciation hit and you have a virtually new 'beca. I bet the engine isn't even fully broken in.
 
I may have to look at that option. Wifey is pushing for me to get a vehicle bigger than the Forester.

Stopped by FitzMall Gathersburg on Saturday, and on their Middlebrook Road storage lot, they had a new '07 gold Outback 2.5i Basic with steelies 5-speed manual, for a bit over 21K MSRP IIRC.
