$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.

the question is how reasonable...or unreasonable...Subie dealers will be. If they take inventory and then try and sell these cars for MSRP, well...I have a feeling they won't be moving too much metal.
 
I wonder if Subaru will put a 'guaranteed trade in value' program on Foresters. My parents are thinking of replacing their 2004 2.5x either with a 08 x Premium or an 09, which they of course haven't seen yet.

I hear they are not going to do that trade-in program, at leats not at first. SoA doesn't think the Forester will need help during the launch.
 
I'm bummed, too, we have an 02 Legacy for trade.

Price I paid for a 2007 Forester Sports XT by taun

Just wanted to share my experience as it may help others. I had been looking for a 2007 Forester XT. I love the 2008’s, but the 2007’s have the heated seats which were ridiculously omitted from all the Sports models for 2008. Anyhow, I found two still available in my area (Sacramento, CA) at separate dealerships. A WRB (Blue) and a Black one. MSRP for the Blue was $27,695 and $27,878 for the Black. Options were fairly similar with an auto-dimming mirror with compass, cargo tray, auto transmission.
 
Anyhow, I got email offers from both and pitted their offers against each other. I was really annoyed at how staunch they were about going down any further from their quoted prices. Given the state of current car sales, interest rates, the economy in general, I thought they’d be more willing to deal. The dealership with the Blue Forester quoted me $4500 off. The dealer with the Black one quoted $4780 off the MSRP.
 
After some further talks, I agreed to go with the dealer who had the Black car (though not my first color choice). This was after convincing them to throw in a rear spoiler, free oil changes, and lift tickets.
 
Summation of my deal:
 
2007 Black Obsidian Pearl Forester Sports 2.5XT
$27,695 MSRP
-$4,780 Discount
 
Added to deal at no cost to me: Paint matched rear spoiler ($319), free oil changes/tire rotations for life, and 2 season passes for a local ski resort.
 
Total was $23,098.00 (Before tax/title/etc) a little over $25k+ out the door.
 
Financed at 5% through Chase Bank/JP Morgan (Subaru uses them for financing).
 
How'd I do?
