It appears Subaru's need better suspension?

Have been told cost of a Sub is about 76% of MSRP. Try to pay $1000 over this and your getting a great deal. Started looking last week for a rig for the wife and she's leaning Outback, not sure if that makes her a lesbian though, hope not.

I'm sure that's about right on cost vs. MSRP. From what I'm seeing, MSRP on a base model is about 26K, 75% of which would be about 19.5K, +1,000 = $20.5K. Best price I've been offered so far is about $24K. Granted, I've done no haggling yet, but I'd be shocked if anyone could get below about $23K right now. The reason? There are currently ZERO 2015 Outbacks available within 100 miles of Olympia, and the 2016s are already on back-order at several dealerships. In other words, they're not struggling to sell Outbacks.

It's the same with Toyota trucks. If you want one, your price will end up somewhere right around "dealer invoice," which is actually code for "how much the dealer wants to get." This is one case where you can get up to walk away from a price negotiation and have the salesman tell you not to let the door hit you in the azz on your way out.

In a way, it's a chitty situation. On the other hand, cars don't become that popular by being chitty. No shame in paying a "no hassle" price for such cars.

Well if it turns out she is, and if she'll at least let you watch and join in, I'd still call that a win.


I would agree 100% ! grin

Kenny F'n Powers or NO DEAL. Got it. I really hope one of the "no hassle" deals works out... if the dealer locks me in with the finance babes, I'll be in big trouble.

I am not sure if one of these were a Subaru or not.

Whatever they were, they aren't as crash-worthy as a SHO anyways.

Brother bought a Subaru recently. Pretty sure he's not a lesbian, and he's happy with his car. One day, I was talking with the director of transportation for the Northern Exposure TV series. Conversation got around to the topic of hauling all that star power over the pass in winter. He commented that they had Subarus for that task, and that the Subarus handled the job really well. Since he was in show biz, he could have been a lesbian. I weighed all of this last year, when I bought a city commuter kind of car. Then, I bought a Honda CRV. Wife, dog, and I are down with that decision. Won't be towing anything with it, though.

Here's my two cents since I've owned a couple:
The newer ones have ironed out a lot of the bugs the older ones had. Best dealership around I've found S.of Seattle is Scarf in Auburn. The other ones will jerk you around or even try to f---- you like the ones in Gorst Olympia and Puyallup. The new 3.0 Outback HAULS BALLS. I've beaten rice boys and even a V8s that thought my big grocery getter was a Lezmobile. The PZEV version is gutless but gets great mileage. Towing wise, the receiver is roo low to the ground for anything large. Besides it doesn't have a solid rear axle. It's not that kinda girl. That said, it will out perform any other rig in the snow hands down. My outback with stock tires did better in 2 feet of fresh snow than my F-350 with 33's with chains on all 4..

Many in Subaru's appear to have matted, wool like hair as well.

My daughter Emily bought one today after her Jeep Liberty died back in July. We sold hers for salvage and I matched her down payment. She has a $100 payment now but you can tell she is excited.

It is an '06 with 74,000 on it for $8k. She is all smiles.
