Well go to www.edmunds.com and look at the TMV that should be a start.  Also, look in your local ads.  I don't know the market for Tribeca's, but I'm guessing in California it's different than say CT or MA.  Also, your credit score and APR have nothing to do with whether you are getting a good deal, they are independent...focus on the price of the car.

I've been researching Subarus myself.  Here is a site that I find very helpful.  This first one is pricing information with dealer invoice for each trim level:

2008 Pricing

Rebates don't seem to apply to purchase with Subaru promotional financing

2008 Rebates 

APR for the Tribeca, through Nov. 3rd:

2008 Promotional APR with Tiers

You were right on the border of Tier 1/2, score 700+, for 0%, vs. Tier 3, at 5.5%, so you may want to pull a current score.

It looks like they are offering you the (EDIT: )$3750 cash back from the original invoice price, so as long as you are OK with getting your own financing that's probably a great deal.  If your score is over 700 now, you may qualify for their 0% up to 60 months, which you would have to weigh against the lower financed amount from taking the cash back at a higher APR.  If your score is under 700 then you are definitely getting the better deal as it is right now.

I don't know how your previous bk would impact the promotional financing offered by Subaru.
