Replying to: div3804 (Dec 13, 2007 7:05 pm) Body styling is different, so it's your personal preference whether that's an improvement or not, but there were many other improvements in the '08 model. Most significant change is the new, larger 3.6L engine, which puts out more horsepower and torque, gets better fuel economy, and runs on regular unleaded instead of premium. Transmission was improved. Suspension was tweaked for smoother ride. With larger side mirrors plus the redesign of the D pillar & rear side glass, rearward visibility was improved. Raised roof rails were added for better utility. Access to the 3rd row was improved. Tweeter placement was altered for better clarity. Key and remote are combined instead of 2 pieces. Plus, when it's time to trade or sell the vehicle, you'd be getting an additional year's worth of resale value with the '08 and it'd likely be easier to re-sell than the '07 because of the styling changes.   To me, those changes are worth quite a bit... particularly the engine and transmission. And if you drive a typical amount, you'll save at least $1500 in fuel costs over 5 years filling up with regular unleaded instead of premium. (Figuring 20 cents/gallon difference in fuel grades and 15k miles driven per year.) That $1500 would recoup quite a bit of the price difference between an '07 and an '08.   About $1500 below invoice is a good target for an '08. So you should be able to get an '08 7-pass Ltd without DVD or navigation for around $30,500-$31,000. That includes any rebates, but doesn't include any taxes or fees.

Replying to: div3804 (Dec 13, 2007 7:05 pm) 08 for the engine alone. It's worth more. Plus the cheaper fuel.   I think you'll actually come out ahead in the long run (resale, fuel costs), but even if it did cost more I'd say 08.
#752 of 848 Price Info Needed by pez1413 Dec 28, 2007 (12:51 pm)
I am looking at the 2008 B9 limited with a navigation system. MSRP is $35,640. Dealer in eastern PA is offering it to me for $33,557. Does this seem reasonable? Replies to this message: walterq (Dec 31, 2007 11:40 am) qdexter (Jan 07, 2008 11:48 am) ateixeira (Jan 07, 2008 11:52 am)

35k to 33k seems a bit to high to me.They are giving a 3500 incentive.35,0000 - 3500 = 31,500 $$$ Just to start,Seems a better deal could be made even from that 31,500. Just my .02 worth.

Replying to: pez1413 (Dec 28, 2007 12:51 pm) 2008 no longer called "B9". Believe above references a 2007 B9 which you do not want. Looks like a 5 Pass Limited, no add-ons. Dealer is offering for invoice ($33,557) which isn't bad for a low-mid volume dealer. If you go to a high volume dealer, you can negotiate $1,000 - $1,500 off this invoice price. (FitzMall $1,500 off for example)
#755 of 848 06 5-Pass B9 by eltipo Jan 05, 2008 (3:16 pm)
I've been looking at the local dealer's website nd they are showing an 06 5-pass limited w/gray interior on sale for $26,075 from $32,920. I am thinking I could shoot well lower than that. I have yet to contact them because I am still on the fence about the vehicle. Any ideas would help.   Thanks, Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 07, 2008 7:35 am) tifighter (Jan 08, 2008 1:32 pm) eltipo (Jan 08, 2008 3:00 pm) tifighter (Jan 08, 2008 3:58 pm) and 3 more... texsteeler (Jan 21, 2008 8:59 am) lenasboys (Jan 21, 2008 6:47 pm)

Replying to: eltipo (Jan 05, 2008 3:16 pm) A new 08 would run about $30k. I think that price is high.   $32,920 was probably the MSRP when it was brand new. A 2 year old model should be 20-30% cheaper than the actual selling price of a new one, so that's a bit on the high side.

Replying to: pez1413 (Dec 28, 2007 12:51 pm) Not sure if it is too late, but I just bought a new '08 7-pass Ltd Tribeca w/o DVD or Nav and with Back up sensors, compass mirror, rear bumper cover and cargo tray for $30,200 inlcuding $750 dealer rebate. The MSRP was $34,640. I picked it up on January 2nd. I negotiated the deal via email with Concordville Subaru in Glen Mills, PA. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 07, 2008 11:52 am)
