Replying to: daalen (Mar 01, 2008 12:52 pm) Congrats in advance.   Some competing crossovers have "crossed over" the $40k mark, too.
#774 of 848 Tribeca Price by cars4rob Mar 19, 2008 (9:30 am)
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.

Replying to: cars4rob (Mar 19, 2008 9:30 am) 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!

Replying to: cars4rob (Mar 19, 2008 9:30 am) That price seems decent, but I think I'd spend about $4 grand more and get a new 08.

Replying to: cars4rob (Mar 19, 2008 9:30 am) 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 Replies to this message: cars4rob (Mar 24, 2008 2:07 pm)
#778 of 848 am I nuts? by robotb9 Mar 24, 2008 (9:23 am)
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). Replies to this message: ateixeira (Mar 24, 2008 10:33 am) jeffmc (Mar 24, 2008 8:54 pm)

Replying to: robotb9 (Mar 24, 2008 9:23 am) You know the vehicle better than anyone, and by your description, I would keep it.   Unless the 2008 has some very compelling advantage to you in particular, keep your 06.

Replying to: occking (Mar 19, 2008 4:33 pm) thanks, for the response. We have not decide on anything yet. But the newone keeps looking better all the time. I am very slow when it comes to purchasing cars.

Replying to: robotb9 (Mar 24, 2008 9:23 am) Test drive an '08, then if you like your '06 well enough, keep it. Sounds like it's working well for you, so no reason to spend the dough unless there's something compelling for you about the '08. You're putting on only 13k miles/year, so your '06 should go another 5 years at that rate with ease. Your monthly payment on $20,600 will certainly be much cheaper than a new '08!
