Any idea what the extra discount should be for a demo with 3000 miles (7p ltd nav)? Thanks for the advice! |

I've been driving since I was 16 (now 40-something) and never felt fear like I do now~even as a passenger. If I lived in a town with better mass transit, I would probably just forget about it all. but living in NJ that is just about impossible. Thanks again.

With a higher seating position, good visibility, excellent handling and one of the best stopping distances in its genre (right up there with most sports cars), the Tribeca is a great vehicle. The tribeca is without a doubt the vehicle which gives me the best feeling of 'safety' of any I've ever driven. It's really a solid, stiff, strong vehicle. The Toyota Rav4 also has good fatality ratings and isn't a bad choice. The tribeca is more expensive, but 'feels' more expensive when you drive it- and the interior is leagues above the Rav4. But, the Rav4 is a good choice if that's what you're looking for. |

When I purchased my next car, I had to look at the previous car, and see what I thought was missing on it, that could've helped me in avoiding, or lessening the damage. I didnt go for bigger, I went for nimbler and more surefootedness.

Just tried to trade '06 Tribeca for '08. The '06 was purchased 08/05. It's the 7 passenger Limited - LOADED - DVD, Nav, Puddle lights - almost everything. Spoke with owner of dealership. My trade-in here in Edmund's is $28,000±, the best owner could give me was $23,000 - No way. Supposedly due to huge discounts on '07's knocking the value down on my '06. I check with another sales person that I know from another Subaru dealership in the USA and he said - Sad, but true. I have learned my lesson. I'm not mad at the owner, but I'm somewhat upset with Subaru for not getting the R2 here by now. I'm willing to go '08 Tribeca due to regular gas rather than '06 premium (regular & mid-grade doesn't work well - you lose power and mileage) but not biting the $5,000 bullet. I would bite the $5,000 bullet on the R2, but NOT the '08 Tribeca. We also own an '07 Outback which will remain our "big car". We spend over $500 per month just for gasoline to be able to go back and forth to work. We have had 8 Subaru since 1998, but I'm afraid the '07 is probably our last one. I hate to do it, but the gas bill is totally out of hand. We have sign up and pre-deposited for the '08 Smart car when they become available in early (hopefully) '08. I hope someone from Subaru still reads these forums and gets my message to upper management about the R2. I truly believe Subaru would sell them by the boat load. The $3 gallon gas is here to stay and we will see $4 before April '08. The sad part is Subaru has always been last into the game and thus lose a lot of sales. There is no question in my mind their R2 will match and probably beat the Smart car. One way or the other I will be ready when we hit $4. Come ON Subaru get the R2 here......Please |

Replying to: chassol (Jun 20, 2007 10:49 am) If saving money is your goal- sell the tribeca yourself, you'll be able to get more for it. Secondly, the fuel cost difference between the 3.0L and the 3.6L engine isn't much. Even after 10,000 miles, the fuel cost difference will only be about (20mpg, 500 gal, $0.20 difference/gal) =$100. So it wouldn't make financial sense to buy an '08 'beca to 'save money'. Sounds like you should look into a Prius. They're pretty nice. Or, perhaps the Mercedes E320 Bluetec if you need more luxe.
