Compare http://www.cars101.com/ and http://www.vanbortelsubaru.com/, Cars101 don't put 1250 rebate in website, that's why I think 1250 rebate is not availble in the west.

That information came up with a California zip code entered... Entirely possible that it isn't national..

Just got a generic e-mail promotion message from a dealer selling a brand new 06 for 7300 off MSRP. One left.
 
MSRP is 38350.

Can you give me the name of that dealer? I am interested in importing an 06 or 07 with DVD and Navi - been looking around for about 2 months now trying to find a good deal. I'm planning on making some day trips to Buffalo as I'm not really getting far via email or telephone but had one dealer down to 32900 on an 07 with DVD and Navi when we were in PA last month and sat down in person. Wonder sometimes if we should have made that deal but I wanted to import from Buffalo. I think it would be easier to do this since I've already researched the sales tax exemption and temp permit etc. for NY state.

Price check on used 2006 Tribeca Ltd. by lkconfer

Hello all!
 
I'm new to this forum, so please treat me gently!
 
I'm thinking about purchasing a used 2006 Tribeca with ~17 K miles from a local Philadelphia area dealer. It is a limited version with navigation system and rear DVD. It seems to be in good condition. Dealer is asking ~$30,000, which I know is way over the top for a Tribeca with 17,000 miles and less than a years worth of B to B warranty left. I'm trying to decide a starting offer for negotiation purposes and a high offer that I just wouldn't exceed. I'm thinking of a starting offer of ~$20,500 with a drop dead point of about ~$23,500. I've seen similar models with half the mileage going for ~$26,000. Do you think this strategy is reasonable? Also, what would be a reasonable payment for any ancillary dealer costs, not including taxes (paperwork fees)? Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Your drop-dead point of $23.5k is about the trade-in value for the vehicle in excellent condition, according to Kelley Blue Book. Edmunds' trade-in value is even higher, about $28k. Especially if it's from a Subie dealer, I doubt you'll get much below $26k, maybe$25k. The difference between 9k miles & 17k miles is negligible, certainly not worth an additional 10% price drop... it's already taken the biggest depreciation hit. If you can hold off purchasing, the '08 model is anticipated to debut in April & go on sale in June. Perhaps then it'd be more likely to find a used '06 for about $23k, since it'd be 2 model years old.
 
If you manage to find a Ltd w DVD & NAV cheaper than $25k, make sure there's nothing wrong with it, and jump on that offer!

I never really depended on the KBB for pricing. I did some research and found that the dealer invoice on the 2006 limited was $31,571. According to VinCentric, the depreciation on a 2006 7 passenger ltd is $8091 in year 1 and $2611 in year 2 (a $10,702 two year depreciation total). Thus, the actual value of the vehicle is somewhere around $20,869 - $22,175. I know that the dealer has had this vehicle for a long while now, and that someone at the dealership has been racking up the miles. The same wehicle was originally advertised on the internet with 8800 miles. There is currently ~2500 miles on the tripometer.
I thought that ~$23,500 would be the point that I would tell the dealer "thanks, but maybe another time ... call me if you change your mind" and walk out. I would expect to receive a call back by the end of the month, but if not, I'd continue to look around. I'm under no pressure to buy right now. My feeling is that this dealer has had a very slow January, even for a Subaru dealer. Also, according to a recent press release from Subaru of America, the December 06 sales of new Tribecas are down 42% from December 05. Unfortunately for Subaru, the Tribeca is their albatross, the Japanese Edsel! However, this is how I like to buy my cars, finding outstanding deals on quality vehicles that are out of favor with the general "current hot prestige oriented" buying public. My current car is a 93 Mitsubishi Diamante wagon, a high quality vehicle that was passed over by the general public. I bought it for $6500 six years ago and put on an additional 100,000+ miles on it since. Granted, the Tribeca is more than a little out there in styling (some may say it's uglier than a baboon's butt), but it does kinda of grow on you. However, it has excellent reliability and crash test reviews, and I can handle "ugly" at the right price.

I doubt you'll get it that cheap. I'm also looking at used 06s and the cheapest prices you see for a 7 pass Limited with Nav are right around $26k. Mileage varies between 8k and 22k and to be honest the higher mile ones are no cheaper.
 
Add the DVD and figure on $27k for a target price.
 
I seriously doubt you'll get it for $23.5k. For that much I'd buy 2 of them.
 
I'd say buy it even if you can get it for $26k, that's a grand cheaper than I think they would go.

Just got 07 5-passenger limited by thecableguy

from Van Bortel Subaru in Victor, NY.
I imported the vehicle into Canada. It cost me US$30412.5 including remote starter, reverse sensors, bumper cover and rubber mats. No tax because I don't live in NY.
The vehicle is great. However, there are some noise when turn up/down driver side window. The dealership here in Richmond Hill, ON had it re-adjusted and it's covered by warranty.
Special thx to cocopandan. You advised me to import a Subaru.
