And a shout out to ALL NEW FORESTER OWNERS to check out Edmunds' Subaru Crew Meet the Members II forum, where you can introduce yourself and "hang" with fellow Subie nuts. It's a friendly group. http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.ee99548?displayRecent |

Replying to: sub_lisa (Aug 27, 2008 10:24 pm) You are right, though. How much time do we want to expend to save that marginal $300 or so? And that does frustrate car salespeople. I think it's great that you rewarded the dealer that was easiest to work with, and not just go after the lowest price. A good dealer can make the car buying experience enjoyable, and isn't that what it's supposed to be? If we all reward the good dealers, will the bad dealers become extinct, or are they like cockroaches? Before everyone answers, that's just a rhetorical question. |

Bought my 2009 2.5X Limited on 8/28. After reading this forum, I was hoping for a deal below invoice, but in SE Penna, such a deal was not to be found, must be territorial. I feel as if I rcvd a good deal, my Forester just happened to arrive on their lot while I was looking...destiny perhaps  2.5X Limited w/ PZEV (factor package: utility package + wheel locks). Sage Green Metallic color: - aero cross bars - splash guards - wheel arch molding - bumper cover - wheel locks additional accessories: all weather mats & cargo tray Sticker price: $27,597 My price (with additional throw in!): $26, 244 This was about $500 over invoice with tax, tags etc, worked out to be around $27.5K, under my target of $28 First 50 miles have been wonderful! This forum provided great insight as to what I can expect while buying a Forester, thanks to all!

I finally picked up my car today as expected , so here is what I got: 09 Forester Limited, dark grey with grey interior. -Spash guards -Round cross bars -Puddle lights -Auto dimming mirror w/ compass -Bumper cover -Front bumper underguard -Security system shock sensor -All weather mats -Luggage comp. cover -Body side moldings. -Oil changes for life Price before TTL: 24724 (I think about $1600 below edmunds invoice) Out the door: 26500 (Texas taxes) What mostly influenced my deal was that me and another 2 friends wanted to buy foresters, at the same time, so when we talked and found we wanted the same car, we decided to deal all 3 together, so that pushed the price down quite a lot. At the end one of us didn't like the final price and didn't buy the car, but the dealer kept its offer for 2 cars. Also I didn't order 2 of the extras, but they gave them to me for free because were already installed. I think the dealer was the best we could ever find, Georgetown Subaru, north to Austin. They were clear and friendly from the beginning, didn't ask for stupid fees, didn't play any games, and they even left us a loaner car for free during 3 months, since we ordered the cars until they arrived. I think that alone was amazing as we were driving almost new cars while waiting for ours, and then the price unbeatable. I suppose we were very lucky, or they really wanted to sell those 2 cars to reach a target, but still another dealer in the Austin area came to a similar price, though we preferred this one because of the human factor, they way they treated us since we went there to test drive the cars. The person I dealt with left the dealer a few weeks ago, but the sales manager was equally a great person to deal with. The perfect deal from the start to the end. By the way I am Spanish, only been here for 4 months, so at first I was really scared because of some bad experiences I had read in this and other forums, but my experience has been really easy, simple, and positive in every sense. And the price you guys pay here are a fraction of what we use to pay in Europe a car loaded like that would sell for about $45000 in Spain. Thanks to everybody and I hope this info is useful for somebody else. By the way congratulations to Deejay, Sublisa, and all the other new owners!
