does it worth to pay for Premium by pbai

The premium package costs $2500MSRP about $2200 invoice. It looks ok.
However, it seems that premium has $1000 less in rebate. So I would pay like $3200 for the premium package. Since I am in bay area california, heated seats and mirrors are useless. I could upgrade alloy wheels and sound system seasiy myself with very low cost.
 
So it seems that I would pay $3200 for the moonroof and climint control. Does it worthy it? The moon is HUGE through.
 
BTW: I stopped by a dealer yesterday and I can let me drive away a base X manual for 18k + fee/tax. I though it can do down to 17500, so I walked away.
 
Now, premium, premium not, ...

You also get the rear limited-slip differential, for a little extra traction. The rear brakes go to discs on the Premium models, vs. drums on the base X. Plus a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a power seat. The sound system also gets a 6CD changer.
 
Even in warm climates, the heated mirrors will clear your side mirrors in the rain. It's really cool, Bob showed me on the way up to Philly one year. In a misty rain, the side mirrors were crystal clear. Very cool.
 
Go for the Premium, and this is coming from a guy who has owned a base model L for the past 9 years.

Thanks ateixeira.
 
Do anyone know if the dealer get more incentive for selling a premium mold compared to a base X?
 
I really want to know what is a lowest possible price for a premium. If it is $3200 more, I am reclucent to pay. but if its $2200, I will jump right now.

I see a $2100 or so difference in invoice price, plus an extra grand for the rebate. So I don't think you'll get the difference for less than $3k.

That's supply and demand for you. More buyers want the extra features that the premium offers so Subaru doesn't need to give as big an incentive.
 
If you're looking for basic transport that is safe (best in class safety ratings), dependable (excellent reliability ratings), functional (large cargo volume for its size), agile (AWD) and reasonably well equipped (AC, power windows & locks, etc) then the base Forester is a fantastic value

FWIW, I went through the same thing last year and ended up getting the X. If I could do it again, I'd get the premium pack; there have been many times I wish I had the sunroof, the heated seats, etc. Limited slip and rear discs are nice upgrades too. It's no fun to be wishing you had something that you don't a year into the purchase. Good luck.

I had an X and my girlfriend has one. I bought an 07 Premium. The bottom line appears to be that you can get an X Auto for about 19K (yes I know there are better and worse deals).
 
I was able to get my Premium for 21,970 or thereabouts within a few bucks with a 500 rebate and 500 loyalty discount last Oct. Mine is a manual transmission. So, the roughly 3K difference in price appears to hold as a generalization would be my take, maybe the 32 to 3500 for an auto.
 
So, any deal that has a less than 3K diff between a base and a Premium would be pretty good. I've seen one deal better than mine so far.
