Shirley don't have any idea of cost but I would guess it to be in the $5000 range. If you are anywhere near West Springfield tell SOA that you would like Bertera to do the job. They may agree and you would not have to be concerned with the price.
 
Good luck with your Tribeca, I love mine.

Hi- I apparently have the same problem as everyone else and have been reading the various messages. Can you help? What is SOA everyone refers to? What is the trick to get dealer to fix? Thanks!

Hey i havent been on this forum.. how did everyones transaction go? ive yet to do it but i plan on soon, still learning a lot of info.. get back to me please!
 
SOA ( subaru of america)
 
new guy - Hi, its a common issue on 2006 gold tribeca's. most were affected. first you should go to your dealer and explain you know about the paint issue and that its on almost all 2006 becas. ( they may play dumb) but ive talked to MANY people and they have had subaru pay in full for the repaint. so dealers play hard ball and some others are accepting. what they do is take photos and send to SOA and then SOA will pay and have the job done. most people say the paint looks good but ofcourse its not the same but its better then whats on now ofcourse lol. so deff go to your dealer first and see what happens. and dont back down is also very important b/c they will pay. you may need to play the betrayed customer cry but hey, if it works.. also people who bought them used have gotten SOA to pay for the paint job, they are however less bothersome if you put the car new and service it at the dealer you go to... good luck and let us know how it goes. a good site you can join is SB9T.com , which is a Subaru B9 Tribeca site and post your story their. I am on their and my name is Tribeca-06... GOOD LUCK!

Yes, I did contact the dealer after I first called SOA. No problem, they painted the car, free.

#71 of 71 what should I do? by amyjoth

Hubs and I are seriously looking to purchase a used 06 Tibeca Limited Base(7 passenger).
Of course its the gold, and the paint is ghosting on the upper rear panels. When I asked the salesman about it it, he said it was a problem with the 06's but didnt offer to fix it.
I really like everything else about the car(except the low wattage headlights, and just so-so gas mileage-we are replacing a Mini-van which gets the same)
Should we continue our hunt? They are asking 13,900 with 67K miles on it. Maybe buy an extended warranty?
