Replying to: ccolt1 (Dec 14, 2008 9:54 am) Absolutely. That's not much more than we paid for a loaded Forester.
#802 of 848 '09 tribecca 7 pass lease by sjtash Jan 06, 2009 (11:09 am)
I was offered 2 deals both for 12,000 miles per year base 7 pass, bank fee, taxes and dmv fee down plus first month:   1. 36 months 29,500 selling price 51% residual 6.72% (.0028) Money Factor 498.36 monthly pmt   2. 42 months 29,500 selling price 47% residual 3.72% (.0016) Money Factor 408 monthly pmt   Is this a good deal? What have others paid? The only real negotiating point is the selling price. I am awaiting quotes on the Special Edition and Limited. Replies to this message: Sigmead (Jan 13, 2009 11:59 am)

Replying to: sjtash (Jan 06, 2009 11:09 am) Do you really have to lease? obviously the 42mo deal is better due to lower money factor, but either way, when you factor in having to pay tax, which in some states is on the full selling price, and given the residual, is it worth it versus buying, especially with some of the deals on either 08's, the 09's and some program cars that are out there with low mileage and substantial warranty. Paying 3.72 interest in any case when purchase financing can be had at 2.9 or lower, just doesn't seem like a good deal, especially when factoring other up front costs like tax and acquisition fee (which is usually 600, so that's a sunk cost as well for the lease, in addition to the tax if paying on full amount).   I did the analysis myself and ended up buying. Got an 09 limited 7pass with 13k miles under 25k. Only thing I would lease right now is a Honda where residual can run 55% and higher depending on model.   hope that helps.
#804 of 848 08 Tribeca's still on lots by bjss Jan 25, 2009 (5:33 pm)
Been considering a Tribeca based on everythign I read/hear...noticed that 2 dealers in my area still have 08's on the lot (also looks like they have been there a while - Feb/March 08 mfg date). Stickers range from 32-36K...how much do you think I can reasonably offer? Only about 4-5 left. Replies to this message: theroux1 (Jan 25, 2009 7:40 pm) ember75 (Feb 28, 2009 11:14 pm)

Replying to: bjss (Jan 25, 2009 5:33 pm) You should be able to save at least $10k. We saved $7,000 way back in August. Replies to this message: ember75 (Feb 28, 2009 11:14 pm)
#806 of 848 CPO by billyk1 Jan 29, 2009 (4:53 pm)
Looking at an 08 CPO 7 passenger limited w/RES, NAV. Car has 9k miles. No haggle dealership is asking for 26k. Sticker is almost 40k. Thoughts? Replies to this message: ateixeira (Feb 03, 2009 12:12 pm)

I'd recommend taking the deal if you like the vehicle. You probably won't find a much lower price with all the goodies included. You may be able to get them to throw in some extra accessories that you can't live without. They usually cost the dealer very little. Maybe even a lifetime oil change deal (they are a pain to change the oil yourself).   We bought a fully equipped 06 Tribeca with RSE and NAV in Feb of 07 for $26,900. It was a dealer demo with 16K on it, and we couldn't beat the deal back then when the earlier versions just weren't selling. My wife loves the car. It now has over 50K and runs and looks like new. I kinda grew to prefer the ugly mouse nosed earlier version over the drab and commonplace Chrysler Pacifica cloned faces of the newer models, although I wish I had the 3.6 running regular gas and back-up cam. My wife watches the way she drives and averages 19.5 MPG mixed/ 26 hgwy according to the onboard computer. I average ~22 mixed with my 2002 Forester S, although it probably needs a minor tune up with 100K on it.   I don't think you will regret the purchase of the Tribeca. They are great vehicles for the price with unmatched handling and safety in its class (IMHO) . You could spend a lot more on an Acura, Toyota, Volvo, or even Lexus without getting that much more (or maybe even less) for your money. However, you may want to consider a Subaru extended warranty once you near 36K miles. We shopped around and got a good price from a dealer other that where we bought the Tribeca. I know that some say it's better to bank the money for repairs, but we bought the 6 yr/100K warranty for piece of mind. These days, having something go wrong on a technically advanced vehicle like a Tribeca, the price of the warranty would be paid back on the first visit.   Good Luck!
