Subaru outback is a top model in the Consumer report. For me, the only shortcoming is the firm price... My preferred model is 2015 outback 2.5i, the best price I got is $24484. The dealer said they can not provide more discounts.

I check some shared prices in autopriceshare.com. These prices are around invoice price. it seems my current price is not bad. I am living in Seattle. If any friends just got a better price, let me know and I am appreciated with that.

- CR offers a 'buying service' to get invoice prices...but still depends on the dealer.

- Costco offers a buying service too.

- Contact Joe Spitz from Cars101.com. He deserves the business for keeping his site updated...but not sure about his pricing.

- OBs seem to be pretty 'hot' right now....Same thing happened to me when I bought my RAV4...it  was popular...and I got no deal.

You didn't mention the MSRP.  That would help posters to advise you whether $24484 was a good price.

have you tried overstock.com and truecar.com?

just for comparison i got some price quotes on overstock.com for a Subaru Outback 2.5i in my area...I'm So Cal so there are quite a few dealers close by so theoretically there would be competition on the prices, and I'm getting 24965.

I have bought most of my new cars through a local Leasing company.

How this works is that you sign a leasing- agreement; the leasing period is essentially zero, with immediate delivery and ownership, with full warranty in effect.

The Leasing company orders the car from a local Subaru dealership, with whom they have an arrangement.

You pay the total up-front (or borrow what you need); my present Subaru was $300 over list + dealer prep & taxes.

My local Subaru dealership hates this arrangement (I gave them the option of matching the price but they would not).

Let dealer match the shared price in autopriceshare.com and bought it last week. thanks
