I'm just about to purchase a 2.5 x Premium with AWP. The maintence plan was offered, but I am not sure it's worth it. The dealership I am purchasing from is not the closest one to me so I am unlikely to get the car serviced there, but the plan is valid at any Subaru dealer.
Any experiences with the maintenance plan? Is it worth it?

You could apply for a Chase Subaru credit card instead, then use the rebates to pay for your service. It might end up costing you nothing.

The maintence plan was offered
Is it a maintenace plan or an extended warranty? I know some dealers offer free oil changes etc but those are only good at the selling dealer.

It was a maintenance plan for 2 years/24,000 miles. It's being offered at a discount. They said I could use it at any Subaru dealer. Basically, I guess it I'm paying up front for the routine maintenance

I would not bother, because your first major service isn't until 30k miles, so that first 24k miles isn't costly either way.
Fitzgerald Subaru offers every other oil change for free, so one every 7500 miles. I'll do the alternate ones myself.

I am shopping for an 09 Subaru Forester XPremium pckg and after reading this message I have asked for prices at Heuberger in CS. They seem pretty good. What was your experience buying there? You know, first time internet buyer jitters.

Actually, they're offering every oil change for free since the maintenance schedule in the Owner's Manual specifies one every 7500 miles. You've just made a personal decision to change it twice as often

My experience has been great so far. They didn't have the XT in the color I wanted (dark gray metallic) so they got one from another dealer (one that previously would not match Heuberger's price!) on the same day. I pick it up on Friday so I will let you know how it goes. I'm pretty confident...Heuberger is one of the top Subaru dealers in the country in terms of units sold. They didn't call me repeatedly or try any hard sell techniques on me like so many others...probably because they are a volume dealer and don't have to resort to low life tactics. One dealer who "guarantees" they will beat any deal in Colorado (Mike Shaw) refused to match Heuberger's price. They are also doing 4.9% financing on the car. Another positive is that they quote prices that include everything except tax.
