So I ended up getting a 2007 X Premium package Automatice for a $265/mo 24 month 10k/year lease but it took some work. This was in west springfield Mass. First they tried to sell me a base 2007 Tribeca for $349 month but my wife thought it was too big. So we started to look at the Forester. They let us take it home overnight (it only had 1 mile on it). The next day I did not like the lease terms ($316 a month) so we had to get up and literally almost leave before I was asked what price would work and they finally went for the $22500 price. In the end they were very nice and even gave us a loaner since it was a holiday and we couln't complete the purcahse. |

Wow!, I think that's the least expensive I have seen. My 04 X manual was 19 and that was a good deal then. I did get my 07 Premium Package (MT) for 21,973 including 500 rebate and 500 loyalty discount. I gave the 500 rebate back for financing so ended up at 22,973... I also got that guaranteed trade in thing for my 04. I know it was a good deal because my dealer let Subaru take it and said they couldn't make any money on it. I did have to settle for white. I'm keeping this one till the wheels fall off. |

| I was quoted $19,100 (inclusive of all charges except tax/tag) by a dealer for the base model Forester with auto transmission. Is thia a good price and also is there any specific option package that anybody would think makes sense adding. I am looking for a base car with the main needs being safety and reliability ( think I have passed the age for 'style' and 'oomph'...!!) | |

Well, I should have bought a Forester instead of my Honda CR-V. I realized that I really don't like the way the CR-V handles. It seems to need to slip before kicking in the AWD. So, now I'm looking at a new Forester. It looks like the trade-in for my CR-V is around 17,800. I owe about 13000 on it still so I won't be losing any money. I'm in Anchorage so no sales tax. They like to jack up the prices with all kinds of crazy fees since we live in the middle of nowhere. They are currently asking $23965 for a Forester 2.5 X with manual. The Edmunds TMV is showing $21849 minus the $1500 would make it $20349. Do you think they will give me that price? Should I try to go lower? When I called and talked to a sales guy he told me that his sales manager was motivated because it's a slow part of the year. Subarus are in high-demand up here, but so are CR-Vs. My CR-V is an EX model so it's better-equipped that the X. I'm looking at possibly buying this weekend so I'm anxiously awaiting you replies. Thanks.

Replying to: daveit (Jan 10, 2007 2:45 pm) Because the MSRP on a Forester 2.5X manual, even with Alaska destination, shouldn't be more than 22K. If it's not a premium package, is it loaded with every other possible OEM option as well as some added by the dealer? I know you're in a captive situation, but FWIW, a Forester 2.5X manual can be had for under $19K here. I'd double-check the specifics of the car the Anchorage dealer has. I'd be okay with paying a little bit of a premium given where you are, but $5K more? A skosh under $20K seems fair to me (rebate included). |

| I just looked to verify and the base X is listed at 21,970. I don't know if they changed the page or if I was looking at another model. | |

Replying to: daveit (Jan 10, 2007 2:45 pm) You may want to post over in the 2005+ Legacy/Outback forum, where a fellow from the Fairbanks area just picked up a new Outback Basic. He could probably give you a very good idea how much over invoice is achievable at the Alaska dealerships, or whether it'd be worth it to try the L48. Here's a link to his post: xwesx, "Subaru Legacy/Outback 2005+" #9721, 5 Jan 2007 7:35 pm If you'd consider driving a new Forester up from the lower 48, or having one shipped, check out Carter Subaru (Seattle area) online. 4th-largest dealership in the country (2006 sales), experience sending new Subarus out of state (& to Canada), low prices and huge inventory. Drop them an e-mail with exactly what you want (you can search their inventory online) and you'll get a reply w/a low, no-haggle price, take it or leave it.
