Adding the duty of 6.1% plus GST and PST would bring the LLBean close to 30,000.00 Canadian but the Canadian MSRP is almost 34,000.00 not including the GST & PST which would be another 13% so the savings seem pretty incredible. My question really is how much of a hassle is it with the paperwork?

Thank you so much! I do appreciate!
 
Someone asked me, Where do I plan to buy it?--Washington States. I am living in Calgary. I think that is nearest place I can buy 2009 Forester...Anyone has any other recommendations?
 
I also share the quotation--25,000
--2009 Forester LL Bean
+ i-pod interface/phone tray
 
+ bluetooth kit
 
I forgot to add---Rear Backup Sensor.
 
So I will check the price on May 1st and share with you guys!
 
25,000 for the above is ok? should I bargin? or how much down?

Sealed the deal today with a little whining and got the final price to an even $27,000 , that's $503 off their invoice (which was $18 higher than Edmonds) - I can live with that. They had no problem writing into the contract, to honor any rebates or dealer kickbacks at delivery as well.
I told the internet gal that I was gong to post the deal on-line and she said fine, have them e-mail the internet dept. for the best price.
Good luck all-8 weeks out.

Hey, that's definitely the best pricing we've seen posted here so far... $500 below invoice!

Lots of folks from Calgary buy from Seattle. I'm sure there are other dealers closer (Spokane, Idaho, Montana), but none with the sales volume of the Seattle-area dealers. That $25k price seems very good. I assume that's a PZEV emissions model if you're buying in Washington, so invoice would be $25,200 ($25,000 for non-PZEV). The iPod interface, phone holder & bluetooth kit are worth $300 at invoice, so you're either at $300 or $500 below invoice plus a free rear backup sensor. That would be a very good deal and would be surprised if you could bargain that any lower right now. (As you can see from reydelroble's recent post, he got $500 below invoice which is the best posted so far.)
 
Also, rear backup sensor is not a factory option on Forester so that's why I couldn't calculate the value of it... is the dealer going to install an aftermarket setup? Have you test-driven Forester yet? The visibility is pretty good even to the rear, better than many sedans.
