I think the price is acceptible considering it will have the full warrenty from date of sale.

Replying to: mystro (Nov 29, 2006 6:26 pm) I am a very good driver, had not had a moving violation in almost 25 years, but never had had an accident involving another vehicle in my life (I am over 60) and only one time over 30 years ago had a brush with a guardrail in a blizzard. Other than that, a perfect record. There is no doubt in my mind, however, that with the extremely poor visibility while backing up I will surely hit something in the future. I just hope nothing alive. This vehicle is the absolute worst one I have ever had for rear visibility. Probably get one of those wireless jobs; I see them now advertised for less than $100. Other than that, I love the car! |

BTW,excellent driving record for sure..have you ever taken an advanced driving course just for fun? When we get our new Subaru we have plans to attend the bridgestone winter driving school in Colorado,reviews say it really sharpens skills.

Depends on how much you'll save on a *new* 06..it can be substantial and well below invoice and just what frugal shoppers most enjoy..the good deal but 07's can also be 'a good deal' if your a savvy buyer/shopper. |

Hey guys, I can't believe what is going on right now.Last week we had a salesperson from our Subaru dealership call us to ask if we were interested in opting out of our lease on our 2005 Forester X early.We called the guy back,and told him that in fact we had been thinking recently about what we are going to do at the lease end in September of 07 with the car.We absolutely love the car,but with 2 kids(both in car seats),and my large build we were thinking that it does get a bit snug from time to time.We asked if we could come in,and test drive a few different larger vehicles(Tribeca,Outback wagon),and he said sure,so we made an appointment. If any of you have young children you understand that going to a car dealer to test drive a few cars is not the most pleasurable thing on earth with the kids getting restless,and the constant moving of car seats.We ended up being there around 3 hours with test drives,and negotaitions. Well we test drove a 7 passenger Tribeca with leather,and NAV.We really loved the car.,but the price was out of our range even with it being a former executive car that had around 2000 miles on it,but it is sold as new.We talked numbers,and the 7 passenger with leather and NAv was going to be $430ish a month after satisfying our forester X lease,and little to nothing out of our pocket.We said we would talk about it,and then the sales guy came up with another option of a 5 passenger leather,NAV model with only 1200 miles on it in the light green color for around the same $420ish a month on a 48 month lease. Well lets fast forward to this morning.The sales guy called me begging to trade in our X.He said they are willing to give us $16 for the X,and they are discounting the Tribeca 5 passenger with leather and nav to $27.3K.He told me that they really want our X,and that they are willing to do this deal,and have a lease program at $399 a month with around $980 out of pocket.He says that the $16 for our forester satisfys the elase,and gives up around $2k in equity which is sweet,but I wonder if this is as good a deal as he is making it out to be.Also is the $27.3K a really good discount on a 06 Tribeca 5 passenger with 1200 miles,Nav,and leather? We went into this whole thing thinking the 5 passenger was our best bet with the lower cost,but while we think about it the 7 passenger makes more sense for the future if the kids want to bring friends along with themor if we have friends that don't want to take 2 cars. My wife,and I both liked the Tribeca,but my wife is thinking that maybe we should get a vehicle with sliding doors for ease of loading people,and such.What are your thoughts?We want to get a larger vehicle,and not break the bank,plus the thought of never ending leasing does nothing for me,but may be the only way we keep the payments managable while still driving newer vehicles. I am about ready to just say forget about it,and ride the elase on the X out,and then maybe buy a used min-van,but I am not sure my wife is up for that.Sorry for the novel,and any input on this is appreciated.Thanks.

Replying to: mazdax605 (Dec 07, 2006 7:16 am) OK,what I'm reading here and getting from feelers,you can get somewhere close to $1200k *below* invoice on the 07's,the executive demos (make sure they are not rentals)should be had closer to $26k checking KBB. BTW, The nationwide subaru trade-in program which lasts till Jan 2 is called the GTP and it only applies to purchasing new cars from what I can tell but if you can swing a deal on an loaded 06 closer to KBB price with what you consider a fair allowance for your X.. very tempting. Be sure and read all the Tribeca forums here for all the latest. |
