Replying to: alanfsz (Oct 30, 2007 1:02 pm) We just saw a brand new one minues the Premium package sell for about the same price. In 2 years you would expect a little more depreciation, but Subies do really hold their value. If it's that close, though, I'd just buy new. |

So, I went to Appleway first, told them that for some reason I felt uncomfortable [an unexplainable feeling] there and went to Camp. I'm telling you, get a last day of the month deal. This is what I did... Got GAP and oil change program included The protection thing Originally, they took my freestyle for 7500, but by the end of it, they took it for over 9000$, cutting the price from about 24k to over 16k and gave me a 6.9% apr total payments is about 25k. I actually stood up and just about walked out the door at one point. I pay 350$ a month for 72 months. Salesman was impressed with me. All in all, I just hope the economy holds out another 2 years...

2008 Subaru Forester 2.5X Premium Package. My curiosity is killing me. Just checking to see who got the better deal here, me or the dealer. Premium Package (power moonroof, 6 CD changer, heated seats & exterior mirrors) + cargo net, custom tailpipe cover & all weather floor mats. Final Price Paid: $21,142.38. If I did the Edmonds TMV pricing report right with the above options: MSRP = $24,804 Invoice = $23,156 I did get $3,500 for a trade in...but in hindsight, I should have brought that into the mix at the end and not at the beginning...probably could've gotten a better deal if I threw it on at the end. Any thoughts?

Replying to: madhops8 (Dec 10, 2007 6:59 pm) Do you really want to know? From the info you provided and assuming you're not including TTL in your price paid, it sounds like the dealer fared better  According to Edmunds' TMV, 08 Foresters are going for right at invoice so... subtracting $3,500 for the trade should have brought you in under $20k. Instead it looks like the dealer subtracted the $3,500 from the MSRP. Hope I'm wrong but regardless, you still got a great vehicle for a very reasonable price! -Frank P.S. You're absolutely correct about when to bring up the subject of a trade. Always lock in the final price of the new car before beginning to negotiate the value of a trade. Meanwhile, since it's to the dealer's advantage, the sales person will do his or her level best to combine the two deals into one. Your best bet when asked is to say you don't have a trade and then introduce it after you've locked in the sales price of the new car. |

Going to buy a 2008 Forester 2.5 X Premium Manual It also has tail pipe covers and dimming mirror/compass Based on the Consumer Reports price guide, I my initial offer should be 21,500, but this seems low compared to the Edmunds 22,579. Both prices are without the $500 rebate because we're going to finance. MSRP is 24,154 Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks!
