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&reg&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.

$3000 off 08 base X by djsmooth

Hi everyone,
 
my local dealer is offering the 1500 cash back and a 1500 discount on the base model only. With the lowest MSRP on their lot being 22640, that brings it to 19640, which is at least 1000 under invoice. I'm just starting to look at Foresters and wasn't planning on buying new, but this seems like a great deal. How much lower might they be willing to go? There's close to 20 X's on the lot. I'm excited to think I might actually be able to get an 08 instead of an 05-06, as I had planned.

Call the NASIOC rep there & you might be able to get another $250 knocked off. Or check with the NASIOC rep in your area (check the vendor classifieds):

Yep, it's a buyer's market for 2008 models, if that's what you want.
 
I want an 09. No rebate, of course, but they did lower prices by $700-1200 on certain models, offsetting a big part of that rebate.
