SOA just announced the pricing of the 2019 Outback models this afternoon. Thus we start another model year and the decision as to which model year to purchase. In order to help you make this decision I have created the attached pricing comparison.
The good news is that the price increases are extremely modest and for a lot of us the better news is that we will continue to be able to purchase the 6 cylinder engine.
Destination & Delivery on all models increased from $915 to $975.
The primary change this year is the shuffling of options from standard equipment to an option package. For the 2018 model year 3.6R Limited the moonroof was standard and EyeSight was a part of Option 23. For the 2019 model year the situation is reversed as EyeSight is standard equipment and the moonroof is now a part of Option 24. Note that navigation is also a part of Option 24 so the two are NOT stand alone options. My guess is that many people will forgo the moonroof this year as our smart phones also give us the navigation option.
Please note that I do not guarantee the accuracy of the attached spreadsheet as I put it together very quickly. If you see a mistake please let us know. Finally, the invoice pricing is ESTIMATED but I do think it will prove to be within a few dollars of the final invoice number.
For anyone contemplating a purchase in the near future the decision between the 2018 and 2019 model year is an extremely difficult one to make. Why? There are essentially no differences between the two model years. The 2019 models will undoubtedly NOT have 0% financing but any 2018 purchase now is the purchase of a vehicle that is essentially one year old.
Hopefully the comparison will make your task easier.
My $0.02. YMMV
