Update... I was the one that got the demo Tribeca last Saturday. Here we are, Monday evening, or rather earlyTuesday morning, & I just came back from trip to Quebec (from Prov Ri area) 860 miles, mpg per trip computer was 23.7, actual mileage (I filled it to the brim each time so I know my calculations very accurate) was 23.2, so I am quite pleased. For the most part drive around 70 on the highway & have avoided jackrabbit starts (well, I had to try it a few times)
 
AFter coming out of a 05 Outback with the 4 cylinder non-turbo, this car seems like a jet to me! I have read a lot of complaints about the power in this vehicle, I certainly have no complaints. Particular while going aroound 40 or 50 & you want to pass someone.
 
Love the Nav system although it does have some idiosyncracies (don't ask me how to spell that word). Many more features than on the GArmin Street Pilot I had. But, it kept telling me my trip from Montreal home, although it gave accurate mileage of approx 360 kept telling me it was a 8 hour trip, and I have driven is many times & less than 6 hours. Other than that a nice toy & I will get a lot of use out of it. Works great in Canada, much better than the GArmin.

price for 07 by beanandme

I want to buy an 07 7 seat limited tribeca, with dvd and nav. Dealer quoted me invoice plus $550 (costco deal) and I got him to take off $1250 for the marketing support dealer kickback. Which brings to price to $36, 079. (I know the good deals are on the 06 right now, but no dealer near me has a white one, and also they don't have back up cameras.) Is this a good price? I got them to hold it until Wed. claiming my husband needs to see it and he's out of town. If it matters, I'm in southern California.
Thanks, -Krista

Bought an 06 7 seater with DVD nav for $30,700 after $2,500 rebate. Do the math and figure out how much you want to pay for 07.

Wow. You got a great deal. 7-seat, DVD Nav for $30.7.
The MSRP on that is ~$39K with an invoice price of ~$36K.
 
Of course, there's a bit of difference when you go to resell the vehicle in a few years. The '07 will probably be worth a $1k or $2k more than the '06. But if you're talking $6-$7K difference right now, you're right- it's not worth it at all. You can install a backup camera for a lot less, and live without seat memories.

... and live without a real cargo cover, aux input, XM capability, roll-over sensor for the airbags, brake assist and re-tuned suspension/rear stabilizer. It all adds up. Is it worth $6k? Well, that's up to each.

Has anyone heard of a the Tribeca catching on fire? I know someone who purchased one & 2 weeks later the center console burned. Car was park & unoccupied. They went out to car & found center console & seats burned right at the cup holder. Inside the center console box there is 2 outlets for a/c adapters & the body of the adapters are under the cup holder. My friend call Subaru customer service & asked that a technical rep inspect this car & they refused to help my friend in any way. They said go thru your insurance. I would be afraid to park this car in my garage & it starts on fire.

That should be reported to the insurance company first and then the NHTSA.
 
It's the first case of fire we've seen on a 'beca so there's no pattern here, but if the NHTSA eventually finds one they can force a recall.
 
Hopefully the insurance company can investigate the case. I hope your friend doens't have enemies capable of that.

I ditched my cargo cover anyway, and aux input would be useful if I had an iPod but I don't.
 
XM - nah, I'm not ready to pay for radio, at least not yet.
 
Air bags I hope to never use, what's the upgrade exactly anyway?
 
Brake assist can be good or bad, I hate Mercedes brakes for instance. They feel very unnatural and non-linear. Suspension also, could or could not be a real improvement.
 
I think these things are minor. It's the same body, engine, transmission, only a few tweaks here and there. I actually think the memory seats and rear cam are more useful.

To me, the upgrades on the 07 are worth the extra money. But what I was wondering is, has anyone bought an 07 with 3rd row, nav and dvd? I'm still wondering if $35,079 is a good price, or if I can do better. (keeping the same model)
Thanks-Krista

The insurance copy estimated approx 8k & they sent out an expert but could not determine exact cause of fire.
