Hi slaterac , were do you live?
I'm in NYC.
I ordered my 2009 forester/premium/auto/prez with no options for $23,135 ( inld destination) + tax + DMV.
You should easily get the same or a bweeter price on yours.

I live in Delaware. The taxes were included in the price but they "package deal" for 635 was not explained and they had a 800+ package that I have never heard of with mud flaps and I wasn't about to pay for that. They wanted 25,200 and I said no. On top of that when they wanted to offer 1500 below kbb for my fiances car that was the last straw and I walked out.
 
Why would I get a subaru for 1000 more than the honda? That wouldn't make any sense.
 
For those of you that have done in depth comparisons can you please tell me the difference between the two cars besides the name? Thanks!
 
We don't mind waiting until the summer or later to get a new car because I've heard that subaru should have some incentives soon. That's from what I have read on here.
 
Also, they wanted to give us an interest rate that was higher than the 4.5% that is offered nationally for the 09 forester.

Also, I can get the Honda for 23,825 here not including ttl. That is 1000 cheaper to begin with than the subaru dealer here. Not to mention that they looked on kbb and were offering the price. So in all it could be 2500 cheaper.

I know I am preparing to get a 09 X with premium AT and I've gotten 22,500, but that's doing quite a bit of work. Should be around 24,300 OTD

I would love to see those numbers. The one here isn't selling one for under 25k. They are adding things that aren't even packages online just to get more money out of it. The only way I can see getting one from that dealer, without going to another dealer, would be to go in there and show them all the paperwork and kbb and the invoice and msrp for their vehicle and tell them exactly what I want in the car. The one they had yesterday was 25,200 and that was ridiculous because invoice is 23,500 at most. I might just have to wait until they have incentives and then try and work a deal or go to the no hassle honda dealer down the road and pick up a crv.

We finally caved and ordered one. Blue Limited, PZEV, platinum leather, lots of accessories along with it.
 
VIP price was $25.2k, but $1600 Subaru Bucks brought that down to $23.6k.
 
We have to wait, but the good thing is that if any incentives appear between now and then they will apply to our deal.

Seems steep and out of whack with the rest of the country. I've been getting quotes locally the last couple of days, and the upfront internet prices here are around invoice.
 
The best price I got was for just over 300 under invoice on a automatic x premium with lots of add ons (tail pipe covers, cross bars, puddle lights, ipod connector, subwoofer, tweeters, cargo tray, bumper cover, maybe other stuff?) Invoice was 24,100. The dealership offered me 23,750 + ttl.

How's just under 21K invoice for a base forester with a cargo tray and hitch bike rack? And why do they need a driver license to take a test drive. Are you going to run my credit, I asked the salesperson. No, we just use that to verify you can drive in the state. Is that B.S. or is that a legitimate thing. In any case the 2009 drove nice. My test drive stunk and I put only about 8 miles on the car. The automatic shifter has a sport setting, and I didn't get a chance to try that. I haven't felt ABS in like 2 years so that was a shock, and that nasty undercoating burning smell for the first 100 miles. That's annoying. But I'd rather by a 2009 Forester than a Dodge Magnum or any other 'wagon'.

phdhusky,
where do you live? as that might matter. I've seen better quotes here in Colorado.

Stoner,
I believe they photocopy your license in case anything happens accident wise during your test drive, they have all your information. Some dealers will ask you to sign a liability waiver.
 
Word of warning though. I just read something on identity theft and they recommend that you get that photocopy back from them before you leave the dealer...you never know how they dispose of it or who might have access to it.
