Yeah, sorry, that is for an auto, premium also. Had quotes from dealers in Appleton, Green Bay and Oshkosh. I qualify for the VIP program which is 2% under invoice, so depending on options is roughly $400-$500 under invoice. Had a quote for $23,787 for all that I listed in the previous post except side nets and moonroof air deflector and all other dealers matched it. Still want to try and get another couple hundred off though. I would think you should be looking at getting the same kind of deal less 1k for MT. Will keep you posted...

Joe Spitz has Subaru's new June incentives up on his site:

No '09 Forester rebates, but I believe the rates have dropped.

Rates look the same. I got 4.5% in April. They didn't change in May either. ... Why would Subaru undercut sales of the remaining '08s by providing rebates for a new model that is selling well? Is there any precedent for that?

Rebate History for New Subaru? by rebatechamp

This is the first time that I am shopping for a Subaru. In past years, when is the earliest that Subaru offers a rebate and/or subsidized lease for an early model release like the 2009 Forester or for that matter for any new model year vehicle?
I know that past history is no guarantee of the future, but the trend can be your friend. I hate to miss a good deal by a month even if its only a $500 rebate which could translate to $20 less in the monthly payment for a 24 month lease.

The interest rates are the same if you are a good credit risk - credit score of 700 or above. However, if your credit rating is 699 or less, the rates go up exponentially as your credit rating goes down.
 
Luckily, I'm over 700 so no difference for me.

Update on Bait & Switch:
 
Ok, so I spoke to the owner of the Valley Subaru dealership in Longmont, CO this week. Your gonna laugh at his explanation that he his standing by with regard to the written quote that he wouldn't honor. (They had wanted me to pay $1000 more than quoted when I showed up.)
 
The explanation: A $1000 down payment is added to the quoted price to get to the "total price" that they wanted me to pay for the vehicle.
 
What a joke!
 
Again, please avoid Valley Subaru in Longmont, CO unless you want a similar experience. Honoring the commitment would have been much cheaper than losing customers...

One of the "experts" let me know they have a page on the website for dealer reviews... http://www.edmunds.com/dealerships/drr/jump.html.
 
So, please post the reviews of the dealers you have used. That way we can find the great dealers near us!

Forester sales are too hot for rebates. April was way, way up (was it 48%?), the May numbers just announced say Forester sales were up 66% and Subaru set an all-time sales record for the month, nearly miraculous in this tough sales climate. No reason for them to offer a rebate on Forester until something changes. My 2 cents.
 
The only declining model right now is Outback, just entering the final year of the current design. Legacy is in the final year also, but its sales are up. The '09s should be released very soon, which may give those models an additional small sales bump. Those are the places most likely to see continued large rebates, and I suppose it's possible Impreza could receive a small ($250 more?) rebate increase if Subaru feels they need it to maintain momentum.

Unbelievable.
 
April was up 49%, and the 66% increase for May is correct.
 
No rebates for me, no way no how.
 
OTOH, the 2009 prices are only about $400 more than a similar 2008 LL Bean, so it's easily worth that much extra.
 
They are doing final inspections and PDI on our 2009 Forester, so we should have it delivered here in MD early next week!
