Forester 2.5X with premium package by dnau12

Just picked up my new Forester 2.5X premium package today. I bought in Beaverton, Oregon and the whole experience was great. I bought through the dealer internet department.
 
MSRP = $26,003
invoice = $24,203
price I paid = $22,296 (after rebate)
 
I am very happy with this deal. They are very willing to deal right now on the Foresters. They still have a boat load of them and the 2007 models are coming soon.

Hi,
 
Sounds like a good deal!! Just curious what dealership in Beaverton you used? Looks like you are a few hundred dollars under the quote I got. What options other than what comes with the Premium did you get? Are there lots of colors to choose from?
 
Thanks!!

There is only one Subaru dealer in Beaverton. Anyway, Addditional accessories were tweeter kit, cargo tray, rear bumber cover, tailpipe cover, and splash guards. The original quote came back higher than the $22,296 that I paid, but he was willing to negotiate off the original quote. By the way, the dealer in Vancouver, WA was willing to match the quote, but caused more grief, so I went with the dealer in Beaverton.

Finally bought the XT Limited! by kumari

Hi all,
 
Well, I finally bit the bullet and bought the Forester XT Limited this evening. Here's the deal: $25,349.00 for an automatic with the only addition being the rear bumper cover. Got the steel grey metallic. Also, got free 3000 and 7500 service and the option to purchase the top of the line 7 year warranty for 50% off in three years when the 36 month warranty expires (by then I will have accrued enough Subaru bucks and it will actually be free). They also threw in a lanyard, two Subaru pens, a T-shirt, baseball cap and two Subaru keychains.
 
So, what do you guys think? Did I get a good deal? I sure hope I like the car - right before I bought it, I finally found a used 2005 with only 15,000 miles and every extra goodie they make (yes, even the special foot pedals) that I could have bought for $22,500. It was a black one and I didn't want a black car, so I paid $3000 more to get the steel grey one. Stupid, huh? I still can't believe I finally bought it. Fabulous to drive, just TOUCH the gas and the thing FLIES!

Congrats on the car and the great deal! Looks like you did very well on the deal. Which dealership did you buy it from?

Congrats, price seems great, too.
 
I had my windows tinted a while ago and it was $170, SolarGard dyed film. The metallic stuff costs more, so for $300 make sure you're getting the top quality stuff.
 
Subaru Bucks? Maybe not, unless the dealer does the work himself.

Forester 2.5X, holdback, delivery by nhnissaninva
Mar 27, 2006 (7:45 pm)

I'm shopping 3-4 dealers for a base 2.5X
 
Saw mention here, the holdback is $748?
 
Is the delivery fee of $625 real, actually charged to the dealer? (central Virginia).
 
Whats the feeling on "processing fees"? I threatened to walk on a deal once, got the fee waived. Car dealers deserve to make a living but I do make it easy on them (here's my check, I'll take that car there). What's a "fair" profit for a quick deal, $300-$500?
 
Thanks,--

I'm on the West coast. But, the second day I owned the car I saw it in broad daylight for the first time (I shopped it at dusk or at night) and noticed that it really needs window tinting, so I posted on all the boards and got some good ideas as to what it should cost. Wasn't expecting to need the tinting, so yet more expenses, but it's a wonderful car so far. Love the power and handling ability after driving a truck-based SUV for 11 years.
