I used Truecar and it connected me to 3 dealers with listed prices below MSRP, but after an annoying series of exchanges it became apparent they didnt have the exact model I was looking for and were less than specific in replying to my specific requests. One guy did offer this:
$28900 +
tax +
$195 doc fee +
$7.50 tire fee (NJ residents only)
but I assume tax is 8%(?), so that is still 31.4K or so, more than I'd ideally like to spend. I may still do it (he's pushing for end of month Oct) ...but also may wait until after the Winter. No burning urgency on my part and I figure prices will likely go down...

PS: this is Subie #5 for me!!! I've averaged ab 95k miles on the first 4!
I know there's a Forester and a Tribeca among them, right?
Congrats and stick around to let us know how you like it!
(juice - remember me?)
Happy Trails!

Don't know if you have an iPhone, but if you do I'd be interesting in knowing as to whether your phonebook will upload on to the Bluetooth. In the past you couldn't do it with Subaru, however, I just drove the all-new '12 Impreza with NAV/Bluetooth, and was able to do so. So I'm wondering if this upgrade also made its way over to the '12 Legacys and Outbacks with NAV/Bluetooth.

I LOVE this car. It is so comfortable and looks so sharp. My friends have a 14 year old Outback with 150,000 mi. on it and have had very little trouble with it (no major mechanical issues), so I hope to be driving this gorgeous car for a long time. I was really glad that I did not have to drive all over Southern California in my 11 year old Nissan Altima looking at cars and risking a breakdown, as it has also been very sound mechanically but is probably nearing the end of it's perfect mechanical record at 120,000 mi.
I don't know if there will be more problems in the future. Who knows...
Why nobody mentioned it in the forum?

Any base model Outback in my area (MI) has at least the alloy wheel pkg, plus a few others such as cargo net, and rear bumper cover.
I have yet to see one without these "options".
Thanks,
Chris
I have a quote on a 2.5i Base with the alloy package that is about $800 under invoice, the MSRP is $26,371. I also have a quote on a 2.5i Premium that is about $730 under invoice, with an MSRP of $27,708.
I'm wondering if the dealer has more room to negotiate or if this is getting close to a true cost.
Thank You.
2012 Outback Premium with the all-weather package and auto-dimming mirror with compass.
I used the truecar.com website based on the info that was provided. they provide you with MSRP, Factory Invoice, Dealer Cost ,as well as average paid. All this is based on the options that you input.
Hope this helps

Just drove home a 2012 outback 2.5i with Alloy Wheel Package and CVT (also rear bumper cover and floor mats). MSRP is 26.5k, got it for 24.3k before TTL. Appreciate the feedback on this forum.
MSRP on it is $30,019
Factory invoice is $28,039
Dealer cost is $27,162
I couldn't get another dealer to even talk to me once I got it to this price.
EDIT -- sorry, misread this a limited, not premium. At 500 below invoice that's not amazing -- you should be about to do better. As above, if you can get out the door for their listing price (ttl included) then that seems good to me. Others agree?
Cheers
We received a quote from a dealer for an outback 2.5i Limited with moonroof package.
MSRP: $31,706
Dealer Offer: $29,300 including destination charge.
I'm a new buyer and I just want to know if this is a good deal.
Thanks,
Lon
Sounds like you got a good deal. I am also looking to buy a new Subaru Outback, hopefully in next two weeks. Can you tell me the name of the dealership you bought your outback from ?
thanks!
I picked up my 2.5 Limited with Sunroof package this morning. I paid a little more (~$150 more) than you did and I consider my price good but not great. Yours is closer to great :-)
I did pick up a 6/100k warrantee for $1200 with it. I think that was a decent price too. again not great but good.
I have been in touch with the dealers here in bay area. A couple of them are willing to give new outbacks at prices below invoice price and this is without me even starting to negotiate.
The prices look good, but it could be that Subaru is incentivising the sale of recall vehicles, but I don't know for sure what the deal really is.
Anyhow, if the replacement of master brake cylinders is not a big issue then this is a good time to buy an outback as they seem to be available cheaper.
What are your thoughts on this?
My target is OTD below 27k for 2.5i premium w/ AWP, autodimm mirror, popular package #3.
Don't know if there is more room to bargain in the last month of the year.
MSRP: $31,500
Invoice: $29,066
Selling Price: $27,495
Doc Fee $156
Sales Tax: $2,560
New Plates: $219
OTD: $30,430
I was a big fan of my dealer and sales person. They were non commission and I think the deal was pretty good.
Good job!
