I've been looking at purchasing a Tribeca and still have not made the decision whether to wait for the new design or purchase the old model. Received a quote from the local Subie dealer of $31,000 for a 2007 Limited 7 passenger with DVD & navigation, aero bars, and all weather mats. Is this a good deal? Just wondering if anyone has sat in the new model and is it worth the added expense. Better yet has anyone driven the new '08? Looking for any advice.
 
Thanks,

Before I purchased the tribeca I looked at highlander ltd. I liked it but my wife didn't because the interior was very conservative "toyota like". The 3rd row access was kinda problem.
We looked at the tribeca and liked the interior and the 3rd access wasn't bad as highlander. We liked the different look of tribeca. The only problem we have is with the 90 gas and mileage.
The price the dealer quoted you is very good. Negotiate for dimming mirrors and mud flaps and bumper guards.
I have no idea about the 2008 model.

Wait for the '08 - should be on sale in June. Subaru has said pricing will remain essentially the same and it looks like the long-term cost to own may be lower. The only non-Subaru folks who've sat in it and driven it at this point are auto reviewers, since it just made its Auto show debut.
 
Biggest change is the engine. It's 3.6L now, instead of 3.0L, yet Subaru made enough design innovations that the new engine actually weighs less. The new engine has more horsepower, much more torque, gets 10% better fuel economy AND runs on regular unleaded instead of premium.
 
Also good to go for the '08 if you'll use that 3rd row - the windows back there are larger now. Better visibility for the driver & less claustrophic for any passenger back there. Also, access was improved to the 3rd row by adding an assist spring in the 2nd row seat mechanism, adding grab handles, and by allowing entry from either side of the 2nd row now.

You sure about that price? Around me DVD and NAV run $32.6k or so. Maybe they're not including freight and some processing fees? That just seems a bit too low.
 
I'm in the same boat and I think I'm going to wait. The extra torque, cheaper fuel costs, plus a supposed 10% in fuel efficiency should mean lower operating costs. I'll make up the rest in resale.

that sounds like a terrific price. Clearly- they're dumping the vehicle- as they won't be able to get anything for them after the '08's are on the lot in a few months.
 
It's a lot of car for that kind of money. With the '08 engine be an improvement- of course. Will you be able to get an '08 with DVD, Nav and goodies for that price? Not until 2010.

Thanks for replying.
 
The price was $31.0k for the Tribeca which includes destination charge. I'm trading in my '01 Outback, which they offered $10.3k. Only other charges would be $199 for documentation fees and then state tax.
 
Do you have any idea what the '08 pricing would be? Just thinking the cost savings would make up for any incremental fuel adjustments.

Subaru has said '08 Tribeca pricing will be about the same as '07. Of course, there won't be the big rebates the '07s have. But if you're saving $300/year on gas (10% better fuel economy plus 10% cheaper regular-octane fuel), over the course of a 5-year loan on the '08, you'd have made up $1500 against whatever the current rebate on the '07s are. Plus you'll have a newer model to boost resale value when you go to trade or sell it. So over the course of 5 years, it'd probably be a wash financially. If you can afford the lack of rebate up front, why not drive the newer model with the stronger engine, tweaked transmission, better visibility, easier 3rd row access, and styling that will be easier to re-sell to most people.
 
That said, if you'll really miss the '07's distinctive styling, $31k is a very nice price for a very nice vehicle. I like the '07s European looks (wife doesn't). The '08 looks handsome as well, to me, so my money would go to the '08 with the stronger, more efficient engine.

I would like to know that myself.
 
I am currently negociating:
 
I know about the 2750 cash and the 2% holdback.
 
I am trying to figure out much you can get by NOT financing the car.
 
There was a 1000 factory to dealer last month I believe.
 
Anyone?
