Moonroof Package + Navigation System w/ Aha Infotainment + EyeSight
2014 Outback 2.5i Limited
MSRP $34,802
Invoice $32,063
Sold for $30,289. + $164.30 Dealer fee for a total of $30,453.30 ($4,348.70 off MSRP)
I bought it out of state so I had to pay my tax and title fees separately after picking up the vehicle.
I priced it at several high volume dealers. This was the best.
MSRP $35,443
Dis. 2,662
Sell $32,781 + Documentation Fees.
Is this a good deal or should I be able to get a lower price?
This is an opening bid.
I paid $25,750 plus tax and reg fee. I think it's a good deal for me.
Moonroof Package
Power Moonroof, Auto-Dimming Rear
View Mirror w/Homelink, Rear Vision
Camera
Rear Bumper Cover
Splash Guards
Floor Mats/All Weather/4
Wheel Locks - Alloy Wheels
MSRP 29,723
Offer is 26,416 + $389 ttl
Should I do it while financing is .09?
Get the SAP for another few thou. Push-button start is beautiful, and the extra features & style are brilliant. Find a dealer that will sell a '14 3.6R Limited + SAP for 33K + ttl...
I considered the 4-cyl CVT briefly but couldn't bring myself to spend nearly 30K for a mediocre product when the creme de la creme is just over 30K. Can't afford it? Then wait. Save up the difference. Buy it when you can afford it, and then it's done with. You won't regret it.
The best I've heard of is 14-15% but that requires some patience and most likely was on a 3.6R. I hit around 13.5% on a loaded 3.6R.
I still say hold off though... If you can wait until spring when the 15 is expected for release, you'll get a great deal on a '14 3.6R.
Am in the market for the 2014 3.6R with nav and moonroof.
How's the cabin noise and handling.what about the nav , Bluetooth streaming- is it intuitive and easy to use ?
Is it comparable to a highlander or audi q5 ?
Thanks for your help.
Love the handling and the long, wide feel that goes with it, but some of this is personal preference and the real test is how consistent and reliable the handling will be over the years, and whether it will pose issues sooner or later.
Bluetooth is satisfactory but the system isn't quite modern. Cars always have outdated tech in this department though. Hands free phone is OK but you can't use your contacts list while driving (safety). Same goes with the Nav - can't use the keyboard while the car is moving. It's annoying but makes sense. Functionality is limited while driving so just remember to map things in advance and have numbers on speed dial. Pretty sure there are voice commands to extend functionality but haven't used them. The bluetooth music playback is basic but I'm pleased with it since it's the first vehicle I've had with this capability. Overall, BT and Nav could be better but they're OK...
Can't compare it to the Highlander or Audi Q5 but thus far I am very happy with my purchase. Not many people have Subarus in my area so it's nice to have something unique with good luxury at a comparatively good price. I got the special appearance package and I cannot imagine being without it now. I highly, highly recommend it. It is what sets the whole vehicle off. The Eyesight is a good safety system for the most part. Adaptive cruise is great for long highway trips. Lane departure is annoying sometimes but, as a driver that tends to get tired quickly, I know that it may come in handy someday. Pre-collision braking is only good for low speeds essentially so I have doubts about its overall usefulness, but it's nice to have for that one time you might slip up in a parking lot or in slow-moving traffic. Get the special appearance package! You want it.
I squeezed 26 MPG out of it at one point so I'm pleased, given the power and smoothness.
I just wanted to share the info on what I was offered for a lease. Hope this helps others.

2014 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium, automatic, in Tungsten Metallic with the all weather package included as well as all weather floor mats, rear seat back protector, rear bumper cover, splash guards, wheel arch moldings, and body side moldings.

Comments Pls.
@nyker1
A sale price that is a shade under 89% of the MSRP... and you haven't bought it yet?!
That's exactly what I'm looking for - mind telling me what dealer is giving you that quote?
Sharing our experience buying an Outback on 3/15/2014 in the Twin Cities
Model: Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium with CVT and Moonroof package
Year: 2014
Condition: New
Color: Indigo Pearl exterior, tan cloth interior
Dealer: Walser Subaru in Burnsville
Options: Moonroof package (includes rearview camera) and factory installed side body moldings (so basically nothing extra, just a 2.5i Premium with moonroof and CVT transmission)
MSRP: $29,561
Sale Price: $26,292
Final price: $26,042 - this included an extra $250 off Subaru coupon we got from the 2014 Twin Cities Auto Show
Final Discount: 11.90% off MSRP
My sense is that the 2014 Outbacks are attracting good discounts because of the upcoming 2015 updated version. We got prices from 4 local dealerships, and these guys had the best pricing by far and best reviews on google.
No haggle experience, decent value for trade-in (2001 Golf with 107,000 miles in very good condition). Showed us 3 cars (different colors), test drove two cars, settled on the color and drove off in the new car 3 hours later. Highly recommend this dealership and Chasson, the sales associate who helped us.
Wife (primary driver - commuter car for her) very happy with purchase and overall experience.
Good luck all.

We also got 0% financing for 36 months from Subaru. Obviously, this is credit score dependent.
Walser also threw in a "lifetime" powertrain warranty for "as long as you own the car". The factory warranty for powertrain is 5 years/60,000 miles. So if the original owner keeps the car for 10 years, then that's an additional 4 years of warranty from Walser. This could mean one or more of three things: (i) Walser wants to attract customers by giving an additional value perk, or (ii) Walser is so confident of the Subaru powertrain that it will not incur major costs backing up this insurance, or (iii) they're confident that the original owner will hate the so much before the factory warranty expires that they'll sell it, and thus the extended warranty expires before its ever used by the original owner
In any event, I'm roughly estimating that the value of this extended warranty is around 300 bucks today.
Does anyone know if you can get the Saddle Brown leather with the Carbide Gray Metallic WITHOUT the Special Appearance Package? The configurators on both Subaru.com and here at Edmunds.com will let you select that combination without adding the SAP. But if I search dealer inventories far and wide, I can't find one with that color combination without the SAP. Thanks.
@r8rcr8z, would love to see a "real world" pic - please post one over in Reader's Rides. My '97 Outback is the first pic there.
Any other new owners, please post as well. Thanks!
Looking to buy a 2015 Forester 2.5i premium w/ all weather package in the Chicago area. I used AARP Trucar pricing & was sent "Savings Certificates to dealers. The lowest price on the responses was $24,002 including destination but when I spoke to the internet rep I found out I would have to order the car with a deposit and wait 6-12 weeks. A second dealer's certificate price was $24, 889 . I spoke to that rep and I was told again at that price I'd have to order it. Then I emailed a third dealer for their internet price and got a price of $24906. for an in stock car.
Any advice ?
