Hi all
 
Just wanted to let you know that after many months of research and test drives I finally decided on a Forester. Opted for a Newport Blue Premium with AT and the follow accessories -
 
All-Weather Package (I'm in Wisconsin)
Body Side Moldings
Cargo Tray
EC Mirror w/Compass
Fog Lamps
Luggage Compartment Cover
Puddle Lamps
Rear Bumper Cover
Remote Engine Starter
Sirius Radio
Splash Guards
Sports Grille
Tail Pipe Cover
Wheel Arch Moldings
 
I got everything I wanted at almost $800 under invoice ($3200 under MSRP) thanks to an internet quote. Final price - $25,281 +$98 service fee = $25,379 +TTL.
 
I had a great experience at Don Jacobs Milwaukee and highly recommend them as I didn't experience the typical high pressure nonsense often associated with the new car buying experience. I simply brought in my internet quote and ask them to match it (though in hindsight I probably should have asked if they can do any better). Regardless, it was a pleasant experience and now I get free oil changes for as long as I own my Forester.
 
My estimated delivery date is September, but I'm hoping for a little sooner - I hate waiting.

Congrats, our Limited is the same color! Beautiful...
 
You must have checked off every accessory in the book! Nice!

kaiserchieffan,
 
I'd be very, very happy with the price you got. I think anything at invoice or below is a very good deal.
 
I'm in WI also and i'm glad I got the All Weather Package. I ordered similar accessories as well.
 
Kaiser Chiefs are from just next door to my hometown of Sheffield!

sgloon,
 
I know. I was originally going to get it bare with just the all weather package and add stuff over time, but I got carried away and couldn't stop adding accessories! I was actually thinking of calling the dealer and seeing if I could add the sports grille! Got to take advantage of my invoice pricing!
 
On another note, i'm probably going to get XM satellite radio when it arrives...anyone had dealings with that? It comes pre-wired, right?

A lot of the items you are getting are best covered under the warranty, anyway. So why not!?!
 
The only thing I know about XM radio dissuaded me from getting it. My cousin got it on her Nissan in December. She got it because she didn't want the ads. Turns out, they are now running ads, and probably will add more as time goes on. Appears to be the bait that the cable TV people used to get everyone to sign on originally. Look how many ads cable TV has now...

Trust me when I say that I'm extremely happy with the price I got. I requested internet quotes from Mequon to Chicago and brought my dealer of choice the lowest one and they had no problem honoring it.
 
I first heard the Kaiser Chiefs while on a trip to London in '04 and was instantly hooked on my favorite Leodensians. Been in the States long?

Ya know, besides the stuff to keep the car looking clean/new, the thing I like that best that I got was the Homelink mirror. Hitting the garage door opener from it is so nice. And it works with my 20 year old garage door opener! Not something I would normally pay for, but I like it a lot now that I have it! I hope you will enjoy yours as well!
 
BTW, Does anyone who has been on dirt roads have a problem keeping the area between the rear bumper cover and vertical by the hatch area clean? There is a 1/2 inch gap there that just seems to fill up.
 
I know, I know, but it is a new car! I want to keep it clean!

For those who have not purchased their Forester yet. I saw this ad for a red pearl 2009 SUBARU FORESTER base model
  MODEL 9FA, MSRP $20,660, STOCK # 29012

Price: $18,588
 
They say they deliver all over the country and into Canada. Heuberger, located in Colorado Springs is advertising it here:

Hope this is legal...I have no connection with Heuberger. Although, I bought my new forester there.

The dealer you mentioned actually has a lot of foresters at amazingly low prices. Anybody has experiences with them?
