Joe, Thanks very much.
I thought that was according to the promo deal. It is still on thru the end of March: $1,999 down, $595 acquisition fee, $299 1st Month + taxes and misc. fees.
My wife just scheduled an appointment for a test drive for the following Saturday. She's the primary driver and transports the kids a whole lot. I was considering to purchase the Odessey until I stumbled onto this deal. It appears to be a great value for a $35,000 ride. Another consideration was Volvo XC70 AWD. Still would like to test drive each car.
 
Oh, I have two more questions to ask. What was the money factor assigned and what did the Subaru put as a residual value? Again, thank you for your quick reply.

Yes, the deal is still on. They advertised it on CBS880 this afternoon. The $1,999 down, $595 acquisition fee, $299 1st Month pymt comes to the $2900 total downpayment I was quoted so it is the same deal. 0.0008 money factor with a 58% residual. It really does have a great ride. That's one of the best things about it. At this price I feel it is a great value as well. Especially considering what an X3, X5, XC70, Touareg, RX330 and FX45, even Murano similarly loaded go for. I'm sure your wife will love it.
 
Which dealership?
 
Good Luck...Joe

Joe,
Thanks again.
Bay Ridge Subaru is the dealership my wife contacted. I have no idea how easy or difficult they are in negotiating, but we still have to determine wether this car is for us before it comes to any serious talk.
 
I appreciate your help.
 
Best regards,
O.Bender

Lease w/ no money down? by chris_tx

New to leasing, and I'm sure my question has been asking and answered before, but I was wondering if the current March lease promo is non-negotiable? What I mean is that I'm more interested in a loaded 5-pass, but with either 12k or 15k miles/year and no money down. But I want a sweet deal like you guys are getting. I looked up what I thought a couple good models would be, and the Edmunds prices were $32.5K (5-pass Ltd) and $33.7k (7-pass ltd) respectively.
 
Tax is 6.25%, do you know if they allow it to be rolled in in Texas?
 
I am strangely drawn to the styling, very Alfa-esque I think. And love that it is so rare in my SUV-loving city of Houston.
 
Thanks.

Yes, I believe the Subaru corporate deal is the best you can get and non-negotiable. Maybe you can get the dealer to throw in an accessory. The way my lease worked out, I got a 7 pass LTD with DVD and a few accessories for $34,250 ("Negotiated" selling price on lease worksheet). Which, if you add the $1,800 for the DVD package, is much cheaper than the Edmunds price of $35.5K ($33.7K + $1,800). You may be stymied by a Texas State law that says you must pay ALL the taxes on the lease up front. That'll raise your lease price substantially.
 
Yes, I too love the B9 styling and the fact that there aren't a ton of them out there.
 
Good Luck,
 
Joe

About to sign on the dotted line - some questions? by mjk7

Thanks to your informative posts I am on the verge of taking the plunge. I've got what I think is a great lease deal on a 7 passenger LX with Nav and DVD $700 down (which includes first month payment, tag fees, and a few extra bucks) at $403/month 12K miles 36 months. I am turning in a 2003 Murano on lease which I got 3 weeks after they came out. It has been a good car but I was looking to get into something with a 7 seat option would be handy. I was considering the Pilot and the Highlander, the XC90 as well. The XC90 although quite a bit more expensive does have an attractive lease going now but it still is significantly more money and the complaints about reliablilty are deafening. The Pilot is much larger but along with the Highlander has to be the most boring car created. The lease deal on the B9 is unbeatable on a 40K car!! Besides that the car handles better than all of the above including the Murano. The other thing that attracted me is Subaru's AWD system which in my opinion is superior to the others mentioned. We had a 2nd hand outback impreza wagon years ago and it was the best car in the snow by far. Thanks to your informative posts I was informed about the 2 lever issue with the 2nd row seating allowing for much more glide in the 2nd seat to accomodate third row passengers. Before going to my local dealer (who did know about this) I was at the Philly car show and the model demonstrating the 3rd row seat access had no clue. I walked away very disappointed thinking the 3rd row was for small pets only. Clearly there is decent room in the third row (compared to comparable vehicles)if you know how to adjust the 2nd seat properly. I am 6'3" and although I have no intention on sitting anywhere but the driver's seat, even I was able to get back there. I am truly excited about the Tribeca. I am in disbelief after reading many not so complimentary reviews focusing on the looks. In my opinion ( and I must give you the backround that I drove Saabs for 10 years), I think the looks of the Subaru are awsome. If the same car was released by Porsche the magazines would all hail the style. I don't get it. The frontis cool. Who wants to drive a car that looks so generic like a Pilot? As far as what I read about the upcoming 07 changes, they seem minor to me and not worth the wait given this lease deal. What I would like to see in the future models is blue tooth, satellite radio, a better roof rack (thule and Yakima do not yet have fit kits), better colors, and a 6 speed manual transmission. Sorry about going on and on but I've read so many posts that I had to vent. A few qustions though--- the lease deal I was quoted is thier special with alot of the down money worked into the lease. Money factor .0032 int .08% with 56% residual ( which apparently came down from 60% when first released - when it goes lower they probably won't be able to lower the interest rate to off set it). Is there any wiggle room? Might I get rubber mats or some accessories thrown in if I push in anybodies opinion? Secondly tan or slat grey leather? I've always had tan but it does tend to show the dirt much more any thoughts??

I got my Tribeca Saturday. Monday drove it to FL, it is unbelievable, my 4th Subaru, somewhat biased??, maybe but have an Audi as well. I leased no money down, taxes rolled in etc and pay $498.00 now this does include some excess from my previous VDC which i owned but still owed on!!, also i have the 15,000 miles allowance and a guaranteed buyout of 20995.00
I cannot recommend this car enough, i, as everyone else test drove everything comparable, the only other serious contender for me was the Hybrid twins from Toyota but the lexus was too much and the Highlander just not visually exciting. Anyway good luck.

Was looking for outback, but....... by ajfitzer

I got sucked in! The Outback has NO $$ incentives right now, and the Tribeca has been a bit a loser for Subaru. I live in NJ, and started calling dealers for quotes on the Outback. I was not getting good numbers, as Subaru is not offering anthing on the Outback. When I mention the Tribeca, the dealers were more confident on the numbers. I was quoted TODAY from a Pennsylvania dealer $367/month 36 months, 12K miles, with $370 down for fees, and inludes the FINAL TWO PAYMENTS ON MY LEGACY!! This was for a LOADED 7 passenger Limited, White with Grey leather, Navigation, etc. If I decide to hold onto my Legacy, they drop the payment to $352/month for 36 months.
 
The second PA dealer offered me the Tribeca Limited without the Navigation, using $31,190 as the number with over $2K in dealer cash and incentives, $362/month for 36 months, 12K miles, $852 down for tax and fees.
 
Did I mention they will waive the first month and security deposit because I have SUBARU LEASE LOYALTY?
 
I do not love the look of the Tribeca, but this sounds very good to me! Any thoughts? Do I jump on this?

Sounds like a great deal. Is that with Nav and DVD?
