I may be able to purchase a new 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium CVT with PZEV and All Weather Package for $24988 (without taxes, licensing, etc). Is this a good price? As I understand it, this is below invoice, but I'm not convinced when the dealer says "I'm not making any money on this". I've researched this to death (TMV, invoice, many dealers in our area). I'm ready to purchase but just can't get myself to put the money down unless I know whether or not I am "getting a good deal". I'm happy haggling a lower price, but can't determine what a low price would be (that is, what is the lowest price someone has been able to purchase this same car for?). TMV doesn't tell you that.
I'd appreciate any feedback and advice.
MSRP:$30665
Invoice: $28880
Dealer price: $29165+TTL
The dealer said they are one price/non-negotiation store. I don't know if this is a good deal or not. The lifetime powertrain warranty is from the dealer not from Subaru.
Thanks

Watch the dealer on "bogus" fees.

I would think on a limited (higher price) you should be able to get down to, or below invoice on an Outback. On average driving two years of oil changes is worth maybe $200 depending on how much you drive and where you normally get your oil changed. The car wash may be worht quite a bit, but is it only when you bring the car in for service (likely) or any time you want it washed? And how close are they to your house/office.
Good luck

Got a nicely loaded 3.6 R with moonroof, remote start for $1300 under invoice with current February 2011 lease and other incentives.
Next best offer was $500 under invoice.
Best part, it was the local dealer 4 miles from my house.
Biggest compromise: Had to give up Ruby Red For Satin White Pearl.
Not a prob. to save $800.
Thank you, Edmunds, for teaching me how to get the best deal.

(I was waiting for a bigger 2nd row seat)
Wonder how they beat the rest by that wide a margin? Maybe another dealer went out of business and they bought their inventory at the other dealer's loss?
I found a Miata like that once, but it was an automatic. Bummer!
Got dealers invoice. I considered it a good deal. Good site to check prices is Truecar.com It gives the average prices paid for vehicles in your area.
2011 Outback Premium+AWP+moonroof+All weather mat+splash guard+rear bumper cover,
Car: $26532 +TTL
Trade In: $8332 for 2003 Acura RSX with 49600 miles.
Basically I got the new car for dealer invoice and the trade in for KBB good price. Not a great deal but I think it is an easy and good deal.
Thanks for all the replies.
He priced the car at invoice less all the available deals,maybe 100-200 less.
Always good to buy close to the end of month when qupotas can save you money.
This deal kind of fell into my lap. Gotta love shopping for cars on the last day of the month. ;-)
Proud 1st time Outback owner.
with Power Moonroof ( & rear view mirror w/ integrated Rear Vision Camera),
Puddle Lights, Rear Bumper Cover, and Rear Chrome Garnish.
It is leased from Subaru of Santa Monica, California.
MSRP: $31,425
INVOICE: $29,479
DEALER PRICE: $28,293
42 month,
15k/yr,
$2,000 total down,
and $350+tax a month.
Do you guys think it's a good deal?
It is my first Subaru and I'm so excited. Those paddle lights are so pretty and I think
it is perfect car for my wife.
I wonder if there is a difference between the lease price and the sale price.
but I like driving the outback more. I've had A few BMW's, Lexus's & an MKX. This car may not look as pretty, stylish or get the blood pumping but it's fun to drive & you can't beat the price.
An Outback could get my blood pumping... if I could track down a manual XT from the previous generation! Sadly, the asking price on most '08-09 Outbacks is close to what the real transaction prices were when they were new!
Good luck

Any ideas how good /bad it is ? I know it's a very very basic Outback. But I like 6SP though.
2011 Subaru Outback Premium w/ AWP, Media Hub, Splash Guards, Auto-Dimming Mirror, Rear Cargo Net, All Weather Floor Mats, Rear Bumper Cover. MSRP $27,612 Out the door price including all taxes, title, etc. $26,895.
Is this a a good deal? I believe there is a dealer holdback, so I assume he's making $ offering the car at invoice in any event. Still, it seems to me that there are people out there doing better and the TMV seems to indicate that I should be doing slightly better.
Also, while the promise of invoice sounds great, I am a little concerned because he told me I would need to pay an additional $550 to add XM and $550 to add remote start, plus another $250 to add body side moldings. He says that the XM and remote start are installed at the dealer and installation alone is $100 each. Similar story with the side moldings. Sounds fishy. Doesn't the LTD with Harmon Kardon come standard with XM??? Isn't remote start an option in one of the convenience packages?
Something doesn't seem right. Hoping someone can help me sort this out. Thanks in advance!
I'd give the dealer the benefit of the doubt. I'm looking at an Outback limited too. This site as well as other sites including Subaru's own site and brochure don't reflect the exact way the options and packages come in on the car stickers. From what I've seen, it does appear that XM is part of the HK Audio package but the remote start is a $424 option. The Body Side Molding is a $249 option. Also, the wheel arch moldings, splash guards, bumper cover and puddle lights might come separately, or 2 or 3 of them in a mini package or most of them together in a package. Fortunately, most of these can be added by the dealer if you want one of them.
You might try looking at local dealer's or regional inventories, select 2.5 Limited's and start with those with MSRP's of $32,000 and higher.
What was the "sticker price?"
