Replying to: taun (Jan 10, 2008 5:23 pm) The downsides of that deal are that when the '09 comes out in 2 months it'll be a 2-year-old Forester in an old bodystyle, and it's either been sitting a long time on the lot, or has been test driven a lot, neither of which is ideal. In that same 2-month timeframe, you'll probably be able to get pretty darn close to that same price on an '08 with the stuff you like. If you're patient, wait a couple months for a sweet deal on the '08 you REALLY want. If you've gotta have it now, see if the dealer will drop another $500 on the '07, and let 'em know that YOU know it's gonna be a 2-year-old model very soon. My recommendation would be for patience, but either way, you'll be paying a very good price for a very good vehicle.

I am in Austin, Texas. I have always been interested in getting a Forester. TMV on Edmund's is: $21,060. I haven't talked to the dealer yet but this is the deal they are advertising. I like manual shift. What do you all think about it? $18,660 includes destination charges but not taxes or documentation. Here is a link to the dealer. Forester deal is at the end of the page. http://www.gillmansubaruofaustin.com/specials/new.htm

2008 Forester Premium MT5 / CA package $22607 invoice With a week or so of back and forth email between dealers I went from invoice, to -600$, and finally to -1k$ for: $21600 base price - $500 rebate - $500 trade in $20600 + tax®&etc. (beating TMV by $1300) The only garbage fee in there was the "document fee" but at sub $30 I didn't bother. Trade-in on my 1990 Integra was only $500 -- but I know its issues and that was the magic number I'd come up with (basically what I'd get from CA to take it off the road and slightly more than I'd net with a donation.) I doubt this price would ever happen on an automatic. What I knew once I drove a few MTs is that the odometers were basically 0. When it came to price matching, my closer dealer matched -600$ without a squeak -- which told me there was some more wiggle room. I'll be a little sad if Subaru ups the rebate to $1k on 2/1 -- but not that sad. This was from Capitol Subaru in San Jose, CA. They pitched a good price initially, and were straightforward in their email. (Other dealers I emailed with said things like "what can I do to make you a buyer now" (while not beating my offer) -- uh what is this the 1950s?) The other thing I learned in the shopping is that they REALLY want to sell the 2007s. I might have gone that route, but didn't like the color.
