VIP Program, I think.
 
Dealer said 2% below and I'm not going to question him!
 
Of course Fitzmall.com is at $300-600 under invoice even for non-VIP customers. I'll print those prices and ask for the lower of the two!

Money down! by sgloon

I just put $$ down on my new Subaru! Ahhh! Yeah!!!
 
Car is on the lot.
 
The dealer is a ways away, so will be driving down next week to check out my Forester.
 
Got the Premium with MT and the following components:
 
auto-dim mirror compass w/Homelink (Homelink says it will work with my old garage door opener!)
cargo liner
cargo cover
splash guards
rear bumper cover
tweeter
 
Will probably add the all weather mats, 3M clear bra, and possibly the side nets (thanks for comments from this group!) Just awaiting the dealer prices on these minor add ons.
 
I'll note price next week after all the paperwork is signed. (Don't want to jinx it after the last go.) Wish me luck!

Great - sounds like you'll need to be patient! What color? I'll be very interested in your otd price (less local taxes) as it's similar to configuration I'm thinking about. Fingers crossed for you

Price Suggestion on 08 Forester X by oak_parkstock

Hi,
 
I'm thinking of buying a automatic 08 Forrestor 2.5x. My local dealer has one left, msrp sticker price is 22,996 including standard destination of 645.00 Its real basic without lots of upgrades which is fine with me.
 
Subaru website lists 2,000 customer cash until 6/30, plus 0% financing for up to 24months I think. I'll be putting 12,000 cash down, no trade in.
 
Any suggestions on a target price I should shoot for? I've read the last 30 pages of posts here and have seen from 18,600 to 19,250, but I'm not sure the 2k customer cash was available back then. Dealer has plenty of 09's on the lot. I'm in Chicago area. Thanks, Oak

Oak,
 
The $2000 rebate has been on the books since at least the end of April. I doubt it will go away until the cars do.
 
I was quoted $17,700 (and they were offering to go lower) for a base model 08 forester from a Denver dealer over a month ago. (I would have done that deal, but have opted for the 09 instead.)
 
Re: putting money down when you have the option of the 0% financing.
I'd recommend only putting the minimum amount down. (I think this is $0 with that deal, but not sure.) Put your $12k where it can earn some interest and make your payments for your subie from that, as they are due. It may not be a lot of interest, but you will be money ahead. You will also have an extra year to save up (plus the interest on that "newly saved" money) before you have to start pulling from the "newly saved" money (ie the money you don't have now to pay for your car) to pay off the rest of your car.
 
The only reason not to do this is if you think you are not a good saver. but you have already saved $12k, so that doesn't seem to be the case.
