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.

Thanks all for the informitive replies.
 
It is really a tough decision to make
When I went to test drive, I talked with the manger and he can give me manual base X for 18k. So that is no problem to get auto X for <19k. But now, several friends on this board said Preimium worth the money. I kinda seduced. $3200 more for the package and rebate; Plus, most dealer only carry auto premium, so another $750. I will end up ~$4000. so Base X,man = 18k Premium = 22k

Right now the dealer incentive is $1500 on all Foresters and the rebate on the Premium is $1000 as stated in earlier posts. That said, you should be able to get a Premium with the manual transmission for around $20566 (invoice $23066) and the automatic is approximately $21293 (Invoice $23793). You can add $211 more to each price if you live in an area of the country that requires the California emissions such as some of the New England states and New York. Pay no more or the dealer is just keeping the factory to dealer incentive.

Good Deal or Possibly Not ? by gsquared

Hello Everyone,
I would like to solicit advice from those experienced with the Forester Model. I've narrowed my vehicle of choice to the Subaru Forester.
I've an opportunity to purchase a 2003 XS (premium package), 41,000 miles, 2 owners (current being the second), w/ added amenities of sound system, rear window mirror w/compass and adjusting tint, tailpipe cover, cargo net, and running board on back bumper. Sellers are asking $17K +, but may take $15K + (US).
All servicing thus far can be validated via receipts, and Carfax returns clean.
Not sure if this is something to jump at immediately, or maybe not. All help is greatly appreciated as this will by my first entry into the forester model.
Thanks.
G.

Given all the discounts and incentives on Foresters right now, I'd go for a brand new, with factory warranty and all. I think even 15K is kinda high for 4-yr old Forester with 41K miles on it.

Thanks Kate,
Thinking more clearly and having done a little more research, you're absolutely correct. On several subaru websites I'm seeing the '07 2.5x Premium for ~23K, I've offered ~20K cash OTD to 2 dealerships who'll take the offer - too much inventory I suppose.
Will keep you posted. Thanks for the reply.
Cheers.

Congrats.
 
Boy, I paid exactly that much 9 years ago, and the new ones have so much more content. You folks are lucky!
