They usually offer above market (above wholesale, anyway), and in most states you also won't pay sales tax on that amount. For instance, let's say they offer $10k (very generous, IMHO). But you also save on sales tax, in MD you would save 5%, or another $500, in the final deal. So technically that offer would be worth $10,500 vs. a private party, plus you don't have to hassle with selling it. That's a bit optimistic, though. The real-world trade-in values guys are most accurate. They are the ones that would give you their money for the car for that amount, i.e. they put their money where their mouth is. KBB and Edmunds makes no such promise, it's just a guesstimate. Go ahead and get it appraised at the Subaru dealer. IMO if you can get $8k or more, and remember $8k in this case might be worth $8400 after taxes, then go for it. That's what I would do.

Of course I can still get an estimate on what they would offer, regardless. I'm not in a big hurry anyway. I can wait for some incentives to show up. Christina

Well I guess I won't be getting a 'Beca locally. I was e-mailing a salesman at one of the largest Subaru dealers here in Nashville. Everything was going great until he mentioned the '08's would have an adjusted market price. I asked him to explain seeing that I have never ever paid anything close to sticker price on any vehicle I have ever bought (including my '04 Corvette). That was the end of the e-mails. I asked him again to explain and no reply. If I want an '08 I guess I'll have to leave Nashville to find one. |

| I just went to the Subaru dealership to check out the new Tribeca. I was told that there is a $500 manufacturer's rebate. I can't find any mention of this anywhere. Has anyone else heard this? We also got quoted on a limited 7 with nav, $35.95 on a car with an MSRP of $36,965. (A couple of added options..) The price looks good compared to the TMV price of which is very close to the MSRP, but it sounds like people are getting prices much closer to invoice which on this car is more like $34.5K so I've got some negotiating to do... | |

Does anyone have any idea what I should be able to lease the basic 5 passenger 07 Tribeca for? The subaru website has a great deal listed for an 07, but I'm not sure if that's really going to happen when I go to the dealership. I'm going to go test drive and check out all the options today....we will see how it goes.
