It is a pretty good price for Premiun with $950 lower of invoice price. Could you tell me which state you quote?

Got it today, I absolutely love this car! I didn't know it was possible for me to love a car so much. Or maybe I'm just easily impressed after having driven my 1990 Isuzu Trooper for the past 15 years. But, the Forester just feels perfect for me. I didn't get that feeling from any of the other SUVs I tested.
 
Now I can share the details of the deal:
 
2.5XT Limited, obsidian black
Auto-dimming mirror with Homelink and compass
Puddle light kit
Luggage compartment cover
Rear bumper cover
Cargo tray
All-weather floor mats
 
Edmunds invoice price, including options: $27,615
 
Price paid: $26,516 +TTL
 
I got the 6.25% rate for 72 months with no money down. Overall, I am very pleased with the deal. I spent about two weeks sending emails to 15 different dealerships. Narrowed it down to the lowest offer, they got the car for me from another dealer. Went down to the dealership and it was a very easy straightforward transaction. There were no surprises, everything was as we had agreed upon via email. I drove the car, inspected it, paperwork was completed pretty quickly, I got my two keys plus the valet key and was on my way.
 
On the 70 mile drive back from the dealership, mostly highway miles, going 60-65 mph, the trip computer said I averaged 27.9 mpg! Wow, I'll take that any day, especially for the turbo!

27.9 in a turbo?
 
That's not even fair!

Well I made my purchase today. I found the 09 Forester Limited color that I wanted at a different dealer (blue) and asked the internet dealer there if he would meet/beat the price I was given by another local dealer (who did not have blue). That's the price I posted here earlier. He responded that he would meet that price and also broke down the out-the-door price. Here's what I got:
 
09 Forester Limited
AUTO DIM MIRROR/COMPASS W/HOMELINK
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT COVER
PZEV CERTIFIED
REAR BUMPER COVER
SPLASH GUARD KIT
 
Price: $24,970
with tax (CA 8.25%!!) plus license and doc fees, etc:
Out the door: $27,335
 
I went by today and got the paperwork started. Took about 20 minutes, no pressure for anything extra.
 
I pick it up Sunday. Pretty excited about it too. Car has 6 miles on it!
Replacing my 1999 Mazda Protege.
Thanks for all the info in this forum...hope I did good.

How hard is it to find an xt limited? by jefbak

The lease for my 2007 Forester premium package is up in December and I remember that at that time no dealers in my area (Mass) had any XT Limited in stock.
 
Is there any way to ensure that when I return my lease I can have a new xt limited ready to go? Or will I loose all my negotiation ability if I do that?
 
For that matter, what are good strategies with a lease return if you plan to get another car of the same manufacturer type?

How picky are you about color?
 
They're not rare. My dealer has 6 of them right now, 1 with NAV.
