| Hi -- I'm thinking of buying my leased 2006 Subaru Outback 2.5 XT Limited. Kelley says its value is $20,000. Our purchase option at the end of the lease term, which is in one month, is $15,088 + the purchase option fee of $150. Seems like we're in good shape, right? But do you know where I can find the wholesale value of the vehicle (the price the dealer would pay to buy the car at an auction.) In other words, I'm trying to get the price down as much as possible especially in this economy and with the glut of good leased cars heading back to the stores. Any thoughts? Much thanks, V | |

The break it down by condition of the car: Above, Average and below. Above: $14,840 Average: $13,200 Below: $11,560 These numbers are based on actual auction transactions... Hope this helps

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a 2009 OB XT. Dealer seems pretty antsy about getting the deal done by month end. They problably have numbers they are trying to make. Me, I'm wondering if I should chance it and wait until after Aug. 3rd, hoping that either financing or incentives will get better. I doubt the $3000 cash back will go away, financing may go up but I'm thinking not, that they want to unload these 2009's. Thoughts anyone? Also, anyone else out there getting pricing on these, what are you seeing? I'm at about invoice minus the cash back About $5300 off sticker. I think the price could be better but how much. I'm not squabbling to much because this car was very hard to find and they are going to drive to me (about a 5 hr drive). Thanks

Replying to: obxt (Jul 29, 2009 2:36 pm) Factoring in the fact that it's her car, so noone else has used it before and she knows the history, it should be considered Above average condition easily. Unless there's something I don't know... Any how, if it fetches nearly $15k at Manheim, no dealer will sell you one in good condition for that amount. They recondition them and tack on a profit, so I'd expect a sales prices about $3000 higher than that, maybe $2. |

Does anyone know how soon edmunds.com will post the latest August incentives from Subaru for the 2010 Outbacks? Thanks!
