Hey, is that any way to talk to someone who offered you help?
 
Nice nickname, by the way, dirtbag.

Made me hit the "delete" button for a brief second when I thought he was violating our policy on member conduct - no namecalling

Jump at the 2.5x quote or wait? by diveguy

I've been testing the waters on a new 06 Forrester 2.5x via the internet and this has been my best quote to-date:
 
2.5x equipped with the all weather floor mats, rear cargo net, cargo tray and rear bumper cover (1C). The List Price on the vehicle is $23,455. Invoice cost on it appears to be $21,953. Discounted price before the rebate is $21,153.
 
Sale Price $21,153 (before rebate)
Processing 225
Taxes 1,106, Tags 153
Total before rebate: $22,637
Rebate: 2,000
 
Total out the door: $20,637.
 
I would have thought with the 07's now on the lot that prices would drop more and that there would be some dealer incentives to move the 06's. Doing a quick new inventory search in the area shows that most dealers have up to 20+ Forresters on the lot. I'd really like the 2.5x premium but the rebate is paltry compared to the base 2.5x putting an out-the-door price on the premium at $23,5k or so. That's a $3k premium on the premium especially since I believe the invoice on the premium package is like $2k to the dealer.
 
So, deal or no deal? Wait until the end of month (July) or end-of-month (August). I'm only in a hurry for the right price and can afford to wait. Can I do better on the premium package?
 
Thanks,

I think it's pretty good... you might be able to eke out a couple hundred more off the price. If there are plenty of Xs in the color you like, you could wait 'til the end of July. Wait 'til the end of August and the price probably won't drop any more, but the inventory will be much smaller.

Help - Interested in Forester X Prem Pkg - Pricing??? by webdiva
Jul 23, 2006 (10:00 am)

Hello All,
Could use some help - I've never owned or bought a new car and am interested in a Forester (my best buddy comes from a "Forester Family - (3 in her family...)
Been closely monitoring the forum to see the type of prices people are getting for the '06 models. Am from the tri-state area so there are numerous dealers around me.
 
Dealer 1
2.5 X Prem with package 1 (rear bumper cover, cargo tray, splash guards), all weather mats, rear spoiler, custom tailpipe, package 4 (autodim mirror/security sensor)
Sticker: $26607
 
TMV Invoice = 23968 + 625 Destination = 24593
CR Invoice = 23220 + 625 Destination = 23845
 
Dealer 1 offered to sell for 23000 (not including tax & tags) - and I think he WAS including the $1000 discount (finance rate of 7.4 - )
 
Dealer 2
2.5 X Prem with package 1 (rear bumper cover, cargo tray, splash guards), all weather mats, package 4 (autodim mirror/security sensor), 2 side cargo nets, & wheel locks
Sticker: $26274
 
TMV Invoice = 23754 + 625 Destination = 24379
CR Invoice = 23006 + 625 Destination = 23631
 
Dealer 2 offered to sell for 24379 (not including tax & tags) - with 3.9% financing.
 
I just don't feel like I'm getting much of a "deal" from either of these dealers and am willing to shop around... Am I being unrealistic?
 
One other "cosmetic" question -- for those of you that have the beige interior - how does it hold up in terms of dirt??? Common sense leads me think that the gray interior is better? And has anyone ever had trouble with "leakage" or malfunction with the moonroof?
 
Thanks in advance,
Webdiva

$21k for a Premium? That's not a typo? The price sounds excellent. I thought they were a grand or so higher.

My wife has tan interior with roof, the roof is awesome and no leaks, although I'm not a huge fan of the intermediate stopping point (have to push twice to have it go all the way). The tan interior takes some getting used to. All weather floor mats may be a good investment, but if you get them clean them often, otherwise sludge builds up in the treads.
