About a year ago we bought an 06 Tribeca that is silver with a gray leather interior. We really liked the color combo because they flow so very well with the overall styling of the vehicle. The 06 also has the chromed grill that fits nicely with the styling, and the two tone gray dash flows well with the silver metallic trim. The silver also shows less road dirt. My wife's other option was black, but like you, we could only find it with a beige interior, which my wife hated. At least the don't have that ugly reddish-brown color anymore (personal taste, no offense to owner's of reddish-brown Tribecas)!

If you live someplace dry and not dusty, and if you have a lot of time to keep your vehicle detailed, maybe the black would be OK. Otherwise, go for the gray... it's dark enough to have nearly the same "pop" visually that black does. Gray will also age better since it won't show swirls/dings/chips/scratches like black would.

Price on an 08

Hi all,
There doesn't seem to be a forum for the new Tribeca, so here's my price for an '08 without the B9. $34,790 for a white limited 7 passenger with navi/dvd/puddle lights (love those things)/dimming mirror. I think that's a pretty decent price (before taxes etc. but including destination), don't think they're moving too fast here in SoCal though. Can't wait to pick it up this afternoon. Cheers!!

Sounds like a good deal! White is a good color - that was our second choice, if we couldn't get black. Definitely doesn't show dirt as much as black!
Enjoy your new ride!

Congrats in advance.
Some competing crossovers have "crossed over" the $40k mark, too.

Tribeca Price

I found a 2007 5 Pass Limited Tribeca with 5000m for $25000. It doesn't have a Nav system. Is this a good price? How about having to run 91 Octane? With gas 3.50 per gallons it seems to high. We have driver the 2008 and really like it. Any thoughts problem ideas? Good Place to purchase a Tribeca on the web? Thanks.

Well,
A new one is about 6,000 more expensive (per carsdirect). So it depends on if you'd rather save $6k and driver the old look with weaker engine (if you haven't driven the older model, make sure you do since the engine was upgraded for 08 and 07 has a different drive in that regards). What I did for mine was email all dealers in my area (they were very responsive), I went back and forth a little and cut into their holdback a ways but that was their loss . I'm sure they made money in the end. Love my '08!

That price seems decent, but I think I'd spend about $4 grand more and get a new 08.

In Aug 06, I purchased a 7 pass limited Tribeca with NAV for around 26k, with 10,000 miles. $25,000 seems like quite a bit for a vehicle approaching 2 years old. I ran high test in my 06 most of the time, but on several occasions used regular with absolutely no difference in performance or mpg. I kept very close check on computer mileage (usually around 21 mpg) and actual mileage for the time I had the car (traded it in recently with 65,000 miles) was probably slightly over 20 mpg (probably averaged 75% highway driving) My biggest complaint was the very "rough" ride the car gave over anything but smooth surfaces. I never drive an 08 but heard the suspension on both the 07's and 08"s had been changed a bit to get a better ride. Don't really know how much "peppier" the larget V6 is in the 08 compared to the 06 and 07 but I find what I had was adequate. But, I came from a 4 cylinder Ouback, and the Tribeca felt like jet compared to that one.
Good luck in whatever you decide, but 25,000 seems quite high for the vehicle you are interested in

Our 2006 5-passenger Limited (no DVD., no NAV) will reach the end of its 3 year lease at the end of July. 36,000 miles now, will probably be ~40,000 at end of lease. Excellent condition, suits our needs well. Purchase option price is ~20,600. Should we just buy it, or look for a deal on a 2008? Not very interested in leasing again (wasn't my idea in the first place).
