My concern with that one is that they were disclosing that the vehicle had prior damage. It may or may not be a salvage title, so check. My insurance company will not sell Collision coverage for a salvaged vehicle, not at any price, for instance.
I don't think all the info from Katrina cars has been put together yet, so I'd shy away from any "damaged" cars for now. In fact, forever.

First off, Carlsen Subaru in Redwood City was a pleasure to deal with. Not the best price off the bat, but quickly dropped to invoice and after some work got down to $400 under invoice. Carlsen is my local dealer so I'm glad I wasn't forced to travel to get the best price.
My strategy was to request quotes from every dealer within 50 miles of where I live and do my negotiating by email and over the phone. There are a lot of dealers in the San Francisco Bay Area, so I received many quotes. About half the quotes were ridiculous quotes, but the rest were fair quotes right off the bat from the Internet sales managers (within $500 of invoice). No dealer would commit to under invoice by email, but two local dealers (Livermore and Walnut Creek) told me over the phone that they would do $400 under invoice. I took that back to Carlsen and even though it wasn't in writing they closed the deal today. The Oakland Subaru dealer told me I would be lucky to get a B9 for $500 under MSRP. :P What a clown.
My wife's Tribeca is a 7-seat, DVD & Nav, black w/ beige leather(had a choice of exterior and interior colors), puddle lights, aero crossbar, popular equipment group 1, rear bumper cover, cargo tray, luggage compartment cover (useless), all weather floor mats. I think that covers all the extras. No BS fees on the invoice, except for the regional marketing fee that every local dealer would include.
MSRP = $39,265.00
Invoice = $36,287.00
My price = $35,887.00
I checked the dealer invoice against Edmunds.com and it was pretty close. Edmunds was right on with the invoice price of the car, but some of the options were off - some higher on Edmunds, some lower on Edmunds, but overall it was about even.
I figured I got a good deal on the car, so I went with the 3 year / 36,000 mile service plan (7,500 mile intervals) for $720.00 and a gold plan 6 year / 60,000 mile $0 deductible warranty for $880.00. Probably could have done better, but not too bad. I think someone posted getting a better price on the service and extended warranty plans.
I passed on the Lojack and permaplate/interior treatment, despite Carlsen's offer to cut the permaplate price in half to $295.
I took the 1.9% financing over 24 months. I have the cash, but how can you turn down the free money? You can make more interest on your money sitting in a CD or treasury.
Happy shopping.
Other perks were 2 tickets to the show and 2 T-shirts, well worth the one hour drive to Seattle. Good show too, thanks Subaru!

What do you guys think? Thanks...
Either one looks very good. What is the tax rate in your state?
Your 7/100 is 4/64 more than standard. You bought a lot more time and miles, and if you think about it an older vehicle with higher miles is a bigger risk.

The Subaru warranty is worth more than people think, you also get roadside assistance for the whole duration of the warranty.
My wife was paying for AAA, 7 years would have added up to $497. That pays for a large portion of the warranty.
It should help your resale value as well.
Plus, of course, you mitigate risk, and can finance the cost of the warranty into your payments. No surprises for 7 years, so you can sleep peacefully.
Congrats.

but getting no where near the 23-25 MPG
What is the secret???

They have a few of the 7 passenger with leather, I believe they list for $34,500 to $34,900 and are selling for $29,000. Seems like a pretty good deal if the damage is not even noticeable.
I am just concerned about getting lousy gas mileage. I presently have 05 Outback 2.5 ltd & get decent mileage on that vehicle. Plus, I love the large sunroof--would be difficult to go back to a vehicle with a smaller, "normal" one!
When I purchased this vehicle 12 months ago got a great deal on extended warranty 100,000 miles for 5 years for $899. I don't think anyone could have beaten that price at the time. Also, got 1.9% financing & still have two years to go.
As much as I like the Tribeca's will probably wait two more years. By then perhaps they will have improved the gas mileage somewhat.
You only give up the paint warranty, basically.

6.x% tax
Documentary fees : $50
Registration: $105
Dealer inventory tax: $63.75
Inspection fee: $21.75
Other : $5
--------------------
Total : $32965
Paid $2965 down payment and rest Subaru financing @ 1.9% APR for 24 months.
The deal was quickly done over phone and completed in 2 hours. However negotiation for 7yr/100000miles/$100 Ded. Warranty broke down as I was quoted $1650, I asked for around $1200. The dealer said that its not even a ball park offer. I am curious to know
1. Was my offer for warranty a fair one ?
2. Can I now buy the warranty from other dealers in TX ?
How will buying extended warranty from a
different dealer effect me in future (i,e service
quality etc)?
The decision to B9 done after test driving Murano & RAV4.
Excellent ride quality, safety & handling is top class. Interior is posh, feel of RX330 class, All features are standard which is great & lastly the Boxer engine...
Things I am worred about/Cons of B9
-----------------------------------
1. The rear hatch door might rattle after a few thousand miles, the rear hatch door sturts are weak too. Subaru should redesign it in 2007.
2. Rear view camera should be added in 2007
3. Low milage (I know this before buying)
Happy riding B9.
Also, rumor does have it that a rearview camera will be available in the '07 model, which is scheduled to debut in a week at the Chicago Auto Show. I'd guess it'll be on sale in June.
I love this SUV! This is my first Subaru. I am enjoying this better than my FX which I sold. Someone mentioned a back up camera, I assume this was an add on but found the camera in my FX useless when it was sunny or rainy out and I couldn't see the nav picture. Good luck with the camera, I would not choose to have that installed in this car.
Has anyone figured out the MP3 player? I want to attach my ipod to it and so far I am very confused? Thanks
-juice
I have had mine since 12/05
$404 a month with $1000 down same vehicle with NAV and DVD
My girlfriend got me the Harmon Kardon unit for i-pod
Circuit City installed for $75
this is by far the best and easiest compatible unit for ipod
plus it matches interior
If you can rig the i-pod via the MP3 and it is offers a clear way to see the songs than please share idea
The in CD dash player has MP3 play back of MP3 encoded Cd's. They have huge capacity and sound great.
it works by hooking into back of radio unit
than has connection adaptor coming throught the center console
if you head to website there is demo on the unit
Comdex gave it best new mobile i-pod device for 2005
and you can use the attached wheel to navigate the songs
just like the wheel on i-pod
It has 7K miles and the salesman said he didn't know why they did it but they traded in on a hybrid Escape??? They want 28,995 and he indicated they might go a little lower. I had not intention of buying being perfectly happy with my Forester, but according to what I see online it looks like the invoice is in the 33K ball park on this...
Any input?
Good luck.
You can find invoice pricing for B9 Tribeca, and for available accessories/options, here:

I'll second Subienewbie2's opinion - if it truly is a base 7-pass, I wouldn't consider it a great deal unless you could get it for $27k or less. A quick search of a major used car website found two base 7-pass models with about 8k miles for $26,995 asking price at a Subaru dealership in New York state, so that shows you $27k is certainly reasonable to shoot for.
You could also probably find a 5-pass Limited model for the same price, which would have leather, 160W AM/FM/CD changer with subwoofer/amp and 8 speakers, though the 7-pass has 2nd-row A/C controls and rear headliner vents the 5-pass doesn't. Do you want the extra row & more A/C, or leather & upgraded sound?
There were some "paint-damaged" Tribecas offered up at auction recently and they're scattered about the country, might be worth a try to search for one.
Hmm... are you in Subaru of New England territory, raybear? That would explain the price difference. They tack on their own fee above and beyond SOA's, raising the dealer's invoice. Either way, the couple hundred bucks difference wouldn't be enough to spoil a good deal on a used vehicle.
