If all goes well, I'll buy a gold 2008 2.5X subie forester premium package tomorrow. I'm now driving my 1998 S forester, and it is time to upgrade. I'll let you know the price I get. I am not planning a trade-in. Too complicated for me. What I plan to do (since reading your letters) is to offer 21,000 and be willing to go up slowly to 21,500 max. That's before tax, license, and all that stuff. I am basing this 21,500 price on letters I've read here where people paid that and less. I should add that I am in Northern California. Please let me know if you think that 21,500 is an okay price, or should I, with the rebate, and being the last day of the month/year, go for less? But please get back to me quickly. Tomorrow is the day.

Well.....call it bad luck or good luck, but I did NOT get the subaru premium 2.5x. The dealer would not budge. I went up to 21,300 on a lovely gold one, and he looked at me as if I were nuts. Since he would not come down one dollar, I never even got the chance to bid the 21,500 as planned. We were one thousand dollars apart. It was tense, and I walked out, and he did NOT come running after me.
 
So I drove down the highway to Toyota, and bought myself the most gorgeous
Rav4, 6 cylinder 4WD you've ever seen. Of course I paid a lot more, but I am happy about the purchase. Now to put my 1998 for sale on Craig's List...... geeta

I went thru hell last year at this time getting price down for a premium forster to $21,500. But I did it for a 24 month lease in the end. This was a year ago on the 1st as well.

Geeta,
 
You should have contacted a few more Subaru dealers. $21,500 doesn't sound completely unreasonable. Anyways, enjoy your RAV4. What color and trim did you get?

This is a good example showing that similar to the housing market, all vehicle markets are local. So just because someone else on the other side of the country got one price, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to get the same price. You may be able to do better but there's an equal chance that you'll not do as good.
 
It's strikes me as a little ironic that you ended up paying lots more for a RAV4 but then I assume you felt that you were getting a "better deal" from the Toyota dealer
 
Regardless, the RAV4 is an excellent vehicle and feeling good about such a big purchase is very important. Enjoy your new ride

Congrats. It's their loss that they were not able to please the customer.
 
You should drive by to show them your new ride. Next time maybe they'll try harder.

2007 Forester XT price quote by thundercracker
Jan 04, 2008 (5:06 am)

hi all,
 
i got a price quote for an '07 Forester XT, for $22,400 before all taxes. Seems like a decent deal, given MSRP is around $26-27k. I did not hear about 0% financing, is this only in certain areas?
 
Is this a decent price for an '07? There aren't too many changes from 07 to 08, so I'm thinking this is an ok starting point. I am hoping to get this for $20k before taxes, but not sure if that is reasonable. Any feedback?
 
thanks in advance

Wow, I remember those were $25k when they came out.
 
The only concern of mine would be the 09s are about to come out, so yours will seem 2 years old in a couple of months. That might hurt resale.
 
Shouldn't matter with that low price.
