I should have looked at the original link..here's the corrected

I heard of a Subaru dealer that makes most of his profit from used cars
and little off new cars. Anyone makes me aware of new offer they have
makes me think, it is more profit for them. That's OK, it's the
capitalist system at work

I think this is true especially for subaru,which seem to be alittle
more expensive then some will pay (and worth it imo) but they will pay
a premium for a used model which is where the dealer makes his biggest
profit. This trade-in deal does give the customer a better then usual
deal though..not the usual wholesale price.

I'm actually thinking of getting a Tribeca,I found several 06 low
mileage Nav equpted for approx 28k..about 10k less then the same 07.

Seemed like a good deal but I wont buy another subaru since the new
styles and driving experience are ten steps below the up to 04 models.
Prices are way too high too. If I buy another vehicle it proba bly
wont be subaru. I love my 04 OBW but it was <$20k new . Would I pay
$28k for an 06--NO!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't do any pricing or even have any buying intention, but Subaru
lost me as a customer on anything like the '06 I drove as a loaner. (My
'00 was getting a free head gasket job). The driver's seat legroom was
horrible; and I'm only running a 30 inch inseam! IT appears they got the
new/improved rear seat legroom by stealing it from the driver.

I run with the seat about 2" forward (from back) on the '00, all the way
had my knees up way too far. I could have steered with my knees if I
wanted to.

I fell in love with the SI-Drive tho.. too bad they screwed up the seats

Subaru makes several cars,which one didn't fit you? I currently drive a
03 Legacy Wagon which I love and at 6' 1" 220 I have ample room,the
Tribeca is the largest in it's group Touag,MDX,Lexus330 and better all
around espcially in bad weather..I've looked at them all and none have
a tested TRUE AWD system like a subie...isn't that why we love them so
much and not to mention it's many other attributes.

I actually *almost* believed the hyp on other luxury suv's until I
looked at the tribeca..forget price,it's just better period and
IMO,buying a near new 06 loaded limited tribeca exc.demo with <10k for
$28k is a steal and against the others no matter how you look at
it...it's distinct look seals the deal and just what a subbie lovers
wants..distinction,you won't find it most places.

I'd suggest you rethink your thinking,those hondas and toys are not
subbies

That was a '06 (Legacy) Outback that crimped my style.

I currently drive a
03 Legacy Wagon which I love and at 6' 1" 220 I have ample room

Same(car) dimensions as my '00 (Legacy) Outback, and about my same
overall body dimensions. I think I may have more of 'me' from the hips
up as I have short(30" inseam)legs. That's why I was flabbergasted at
the '06 legroom.

That long upper body makes it difficult to enter/exit an Imprezza, but
otherwise I fit well in my wife's 97 OBS. ( I wanted a Forester for
myself but the local used market is such that one in decent shape is
sold ahead of time. Fullsize OBs are now getting somewhat common on the
used market.)

I'm not the original poster, he's the one trying to compare other stuff
to Soobs. I'm planning on keeping my '00 OB a *very long time*, same as
my wife's '97 OBS (Imprezza). The only reason I was driving the '06 was
as a loaner.

Personally, I loathe the looks of *all* the newer larger SUVs. They all
have the "glazed toad" look.

My point is that Subaru's marketing/design teams are (at times) either
at war with each other or they collectively screw up together.

 

[bigjim]

Don't evenmention the teibeca. Named after a homosexual enclave in new
york. No thanks.
I will probably get the Wrangler Unlimited 4 door next. Finally a
practical jeep. As soon as its available in yellow my OBW is gone!!

 

[justin credible]

You gotta be kidding and since your being totally silly do you have a
clue what a Wrangler in certain circles was known as..would you want to
be associated with THAT? Next you'll be saying something about the
Subaru logo and witchcraft.
