I'm pretty sure they do. I'm getting them off Fitzmall. (it looks like they may have one 5pass in stock in G'burg)
 
BTW, invoice on the 5Pass Cloth showing now at $29230 (MSRP 31062).

I spoke to the regional rep and she said pricing still wasn't final. I wonder if they are using 2007 prices for now?

That's odd. FM has 6 "08 Tribecas" listed as "Coming Soon" with those MSRPs. I can't imagine them trying to get more 07 Tribecas in.
 
I went ahead and tried the one "in stock" one, a 5 pass LTD. Acc to edmunds, the 07 MSRP price with the listed options (K6c,Q6a) would be $33542, whereas FM is listing its MSRP as $33662. Invoice for 07 is $31509, while listed FM is 31621. So, I dunno.

This may seem like an odd question, but what does the phrase "Your trade-in will be paid off regardless of what you owe" mean to everyone else here?
 
I recently received a "Buy Back Sales Event" letter from "Subaru", and although it does not specifically mention SOA or provide any contact number other than that of a local dealership, it contained exactly that phrase. To me, that would mean that they would pay off the loan on my trade even if I owed more than the negotiated trade-in value.
 
Obviously, the dealers are not in the business of losing money, but the sales incentives they offered in addition to a specific limitation that this offer was applicapable to only to new 2007 Subaru vehicles made me wonder if they weren't in fact just cutting a very thin margin to clear the way for the upcoming 2008 models.
 
Long story short, I made a trip to the dealer and they told me that it simply meant that they will give me the trade-in value, period. Well who wouldn't naturally expect to receive the amount of their negotiated trade-in? Then why the phrase "Your trade-in will be paid off regardless of what you owe", unless unless they also mean they will pay it off even if the loan was higher? Now I would understand if they tried to make up for it by jacking up the price of the car and offering a very low trade-in value to make up for the deficit, which they did. But, they still expected me to make up the difference between trade-in and pay-off, despite what the letter said. Perhaps I am misunderstanding the meaning of that phrase, but that's just not how I interpreted it. To me, it almost seems like false advertisement just to generate a sales lead.

They didn't say WHO would be paying off your trade-in. If you were upside down with your trade-in, YOU would still be responsible for paying off the loan amount to the bank or other lender. This seems to be another typical ad phrase just to get the gullible people in the door whilst keeping just on the legal side boundary of false advertising.

I suppose it could be interpreted that way, though I don't think the wording was quite that vague. Regardless, I didn't take the deal. However since I was there anyway, I took a look at the 2008 and it was every bit as generic looking in person as it appeared in the pictures.

They roll negative equity into your new loan.
 
IMO, not a good idea. Wait until you're no longer upside down, if that is your situation. Or at least come up with enough money to break-even, then borrow only for the new vehicle.

Sounds like a really terrific price. Buy it.
As long as you understand why they are selling it so cheap (because the new '08's with the bigger engine and face-lift are about to hit the lot)
