I still don't get it. It's the NY Metro area and I've seen 3 Tribeca's in 7 months and you've seen 4.
I believe that come April, you will see further discounting and leasing deals. SOA needs to clear the 2006 inventory and the 2007 model is rumored to be out in May/June. The $299/mo lease deal will live, but the down payment should drop to under $2K.
Buyers in the April/May timeframe should also consider the 2006 Acura MDX. I've been told by a Sales Manager for Acura that deep discounts are in store for April as well. The MDX body for 2007 changes completely. Acura did the same discounting when the ne TL came out 2 yrs ago with a style change.

Same ads in NY. If you read the fine print the cars are NOT being titled as new. They have no mileage on them. Not sure what's going on here?

I am absolutely that most of the automotive press wouldn't know good design if it hit them square betweeen the eyes. I'm also convinced that most of of the automotive press are convinced Subaru is incapable of designing good looking vehicles, as it is almost a given that any write-up of any Subaru is likely going to include some smart-ass comment pertaining to the styling.
Hey, if you scream that the world is flat, long enough, and loud enough; and if you convince enough people, it must be true, right?

This has been expained many times. Its legit.
If you are skeptical, pay full price for a new one.

Somehow, I thought we were posting in one of the more general Subie forums, as I track those also..
Anyway... let's restrict this discussion to Tribeca: Lease Questions.. and move any general Tribeca discussion back to it's appropriate forum..
Thanks,

Explained many times, but not one thread in all Tribeca forums discussed how much money dealers where paying for them. If a dealer paid $5000 off of invoice and is trying to sell me one for a $1000 off onvoice price, I would consider that a bad deal and not worth it. That's what I am really trying to find out.

Tell the dealer you want to see the invoice or you will not consider a Subaru. They show the regular invoices, if they think you are a serious buyer they will show that invoice as well.
However - not all dealers have these units. A good price is a good price and if you get greedy you lose out because someone else will take the deal. There is a limited supply, you can't order a wind damaged unit.

There is no official invoice for the wind-damaged cars. These fall into the used car catagory, so what difference does it make how much a dealer paid for one? If they are making $100, $1000 or $4000 on the transaction, as long as it's a great deal, who cares?

That is incredible
I agree the car is unique and the fact that there are not alot out there
You got a great deal
How did you get at that price
I grabbed a $408 36mo 15k a year
in Connecticut 12/2005.
I didnt get the extras like (areobar,splash guards, rear guard) but the other items

When I went the first time they quoted me lease deals using MSRP numbers and they were outrageous. I went back to negotiate after learning a lot about how leases work, etc. Then I mentioned the lease deal that Subaru was advertising (which when I crunched the #s was a REALLY good deal, about $2500 off MSRP). Once I said that he said OK, since your privy to that info we have to give the Subaru advertised deal and he pulled out a sheet of paper with all the B9 models and trims and their associated lease prices based on the advertisement. Mine, a 7 pass LTD w/DVD, was $328/month (36 mo, 12k a year). Rolling in the down payment, acquisition fee and accessories bought it up to $425. They are offering the same deal in February as well. If the slow B9 sales continue, I imagine they may even lower the down payment so they can make room for the '07s due in May. It's gonna be an awesome deal for the patient folks willing to take an '06 from dealer stock! I really love the truck (except for the minor issues I mentioned in the "Problems..." forum) and am completely surprised by most people's opinion of how it looks. I find it superior to everything but the Infiniti FX which is just way too much $!
