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?

Valet Key by sgloon

I need to find out if I am suppose to get the Valet key with my Premium model 09 Forester.
 
It along with 2nd remote and master key were not delivered. I am fighting with the dealer to get them. The manual says we are suppose to get the valet key. The dealer is now saying they only come with the Limited models??? Thus they won't pay for the valet key.
 
Are they lying to me?
 
It has been 3-1/2 weeks and they still haven't given me anything.

The dealer is lying. I bought a Forester X Premium 4 days ago and I got both sets of keys and fobs, plus the valet key. I think your dealer may have lost them, and just don't want to admit it.

Yes the above post is correct. You are supposed to get two set of keys and fobs and a valet key. If they don't fix it take it up with Subaru of America.

Could I have done better than this price? by irollit

We are still waiting since the first week in June for a Newport Blue Pearl 2009 Forester Limited PZEV. We still have no idea where it might be, even though I have talked to SOA a few times.
 
With this long wait, I have read of great deals people are getting. I am thinking we could have done better. If so, does anyone have a suggestion on how to improve this price once we made the deal?
 
$24,541 plus $665 freight and $500 "profit". Total $25,706. It looks like I have to pay taxes on freight and their profit. Is that right?
 
With accessories the total is $26,498.There will be an additional $55 processing fee plus taxes and license.
 
auto dimming mirror with homelink and compass
puddle lights
splash guards
body side moldings
wheel locks
luggage compartment cover
moon roof deflector
rear bumper cover
 
I am hoping the moon roof deflector really helps with noise when the moon roof is opened. It will also distinguish my vehicle from others as I've never seen one of these on any SUV yet. Time will prove if it will affect mileage at all.
 
Gold Rush Subaru is a no haggle small dealership in Auburn, California. I could not get them to budge from their prices. There was no offer of any perks either, such as an additional extended warranty. I have only seen a Sage Green one on the road in Auburn (a town in the Sierra foothills) where 2008 and older Foresters are very numerous so I wonder how many they are actually selling.

You need to do some research. First get the true dealer cost and the invoice (those are not the same) for the car as it was delivered. Then get the dealer invoice for the accessories and destination charge. Add those up. That gives you a decent baseline with which to compare your deal. Consumerreports.org is a good place to start -- the service is inexpensive. You can also get these costs from other Internet sources.
 
Compare what the dealer actually paid to what they want from you. The $500 "profit" figure sounds suspicious, but how many Subaru dealers are in your market? Some people think that a few hundred under total dealer invoice is the only way to go; some people are not in a place where that kind of deal is possible and will be happy with invoice or a bit over. Consumer Reports and other gurus recommend that you pay 2 percent to 4 percent over true dealer cost.
 
What is a good price is dependent upon your market -- how many dealers in your area, what the dealer needs, etc. There are lots of good posts in this forum that go into all that.
