Thanks! Ok, I just have to decide if I want that gap closed in. I doubt I'll put it in and out. That said, we have a truck for hauling so I doubt I'd need all the cargo area.

Hi everyone, Well, I'm loving loving loving my new 09 Outback. I was thinking of getting the dog gate to keep my hound in the very back. My question is on the Subaru parts web site it say's, "This Dog Guard is not meant to be removed once installed. It is to be used as a permanent fixture in your vehicle." Huh? I don;t care if it's bolted in, but I wonder does it fold or something in order to use the whole back space when you put the seats down? I'm confused? Anyone have a clue?

Thanks everyone. I think I did pretty well today. Bought a Silver Outback SE. Got a great deal (5k below sticker) and also a low interest rate. Yes, I know everyone mentioned buy low miles, used. All the used ones I came up with were in the 50k miles range. I don;t want a car with 50k+miles. There was a low miles used car that came up, but it was from a rental place. I'm happy with my payments (affordable) and my warrenty. I'm excited. Picking it up till Monday. Thanks for the feedback. As a mom with a small child, living up high in a canyon, I need a car that I can depend on.

Well, looks like I missed the extension on the Outback dealer incentive. I had to work out of town. Over last night (2k off) What's the best approach now. Wait till end of Month? Better deals made? Is that an urban myth? I need to see if another incentive comes around. Can't afford the special edition without it. I can sit. Will they sell out of my color? Darn. Any tips of negotiating would be LOVED!

What I was planning on doing was going to the place the dealer recommended and asking for the same tint that's on the Limited. And yes, I will do the driver and front passenger lighter to stay within the laws. I'm not looking for black out, just something to cut the glare in back for kids and sun.

I may have found a car! Going back Monday to talk $ and trade in, but one thing is the cars windows are not tinted. I'm in SOuthern Cal and I need some tinting form the constant sun (plus I prefer the look). Is this a big deal to get done after I buy the car? Is it pretty standard?

I'm in Southern Ca. Yeah, the first year bugs has me thinking, and it is hard to compare when they won;t be on lot for another 4 months.

I just looked into this online. Is it better to wait for a new model or go for the 2009 deal. Both cars look nice. 2010 may be out of my budget.

So, I'm really looking at some sweet deals on a Special Edition Outback 2009. I just noticed the 2010 seems to have a new *body* (larger?) is this something I should be concerned about since I was planning on buying the 09? You know how people always say "wait for the new model?" Or, is t safe to say the 9's will hold their value? I hated the body on the new Durango. Some changes are not always the best. Thoughts?

Thanks! 'm in Southern California. Topanga Canyon. We don't get snow, but I do a lot of camping in the mtn's and we live up in the canyon (lots of windy roads).

Thanks everyone. SO, low and behold the sales person called today to say the THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE DEALER INCENTIVE till MOnday. Whew, Lucky me! So, because I'm trying to do my homework, I called two other dealers. They both offered the same car as *dealer number 1* but for 3k LESS!! Do dealer differ that much on thier inventory. I mean the Subie Outback Special Edition was running 25k, the other two dealers today gave me quotes of $21, 699.00 THAT a huge difference.

Thanks Nipper.

Just curious, I'm pretty sure I want a Subaru OUtback. My reasons are gas milage, sporty look for the $ and over all I *hear* they run for a long time. Care to share why you own one?

When would the *end of quarter* be? Funny, they just called me back (at 9 pm) offering me more on my trade in. Wanting a CC $500 deposit to hold the deal till tomorrow. I just can't function on the fly like that. So I told them I would be in touch with them this weekend to see if they will still offer me the same deal. Still today my car over heated and blew a hose. I think it's a sign!
