Good Quote on X Premium Auto All-Weather? by Mplsman
Nov 25, 2008 (7:22 pm)

2.5 X Premium, Auto, All-Weather Package, Utility Package (aero cross bars, wheel arch moldings, rear bumper cover and splash guards), Auto Dimming compass mirror with Homelink, All Weather floor mats--
 
$23,899
 
I figure this to be approx. $60 over invoice. Seems like a decent internet quote. Any advice on where to go from here? Is this a quote I should take to other dealers? I'm going to need a really good purchase price to get to the kind of lease payment I need.
 
Thanks much, appreciate all the great feedback and info here.

2009 forester X-limited from bill kolb subaru NY by pharmd718

I placed an order for the X-limited at bill kolb subaru. When the car came in, I brought a check for the full amount. However, I was told that I can't pick up the car till the following week (the car was sitting on the lot with my name on it). I was told that they don't have the time to have a salesperson show me around the car.
 
I informed them that I paid for the car in full and should be able to pick it up when I want it. They informed me that unless I came by that specific day at a specific time they would not give me the car because they will not have a salesperson to help me. They want their sales people to concentrate as much time on selling the car and spend as little time as possible actually getting the car to the customer.
 
When I came back to get the car, the sales person handed me the keys and said "all you need to know is in the instruction manual" and then asked me if there is anything I needed to now. I asked him about filling the car with gas and he said "oh yea, make sure that the cap clicks when you close it".
 
That was it!!!! I will never buy from them again!

When I picked up my wife's new Subaru Legacy last month, I noticed that the window sticker had a listing for a "Full Tank of Gas". When I pointed it out to the staff, they gave me cash to fill it up!

At least I got the full gas tank. But then again, they had over 10 days to fill up the car because they did not want to release it to me unless I came by during a very specific and small window of time.

Lots of new owners by ateixeira

Congrats to capitano, pokeyone, golfnff, and KingAJ (you are the 3rd AJ on these forums, wow!).
 
fastLayne: did you close the deal?
 
If anyone is looking for a price reference, go to fitzmall.com. They have no-haggle pricing and if you can beat them, you're golden, IMHO.
 
VIP is 2% under invoice, IIRC. Seems like dealers are dealing, so you may not have to go through the trouble.
 
We used VIP back in May to order one, but supply was still very short back then.

Following your recommendation I went to fitzmall.com, but I couldn't find options listed anywhere. Without knowing the options included on a particular vehicle I can't compare w/ other dealer quotes. Am I missing something on their website?
 
Thanks!

Subaru forester 2.5x, 2009, AT by redcell

Hi, got this price from a Subaru dealer in Bayridge, Brooklyn- 20,750 $ excluding NY state taxes (1737.82) and new plates (160) and other fee of 25$. Total out the door price was 22,715.32$. dealer MSRP ~ 22,090$ and dealer invoice at 21,078$. The only thing extra in the car given by the dealer was all weather mats and a full tank of gas- no other extra attachments. Looked like the salesman/manager would have gone down by ~ 500$ more if I waited for a week to two more. Little not satisfied with the deal - felt that I should have not rushed in to the deal- anyways guys- please let me know how this deal was-- ur comments awaited !!

If you select several vehicles to compare, or click on any one, then you'll see more details.
 
Also, you can look at the least and most expensive for one particular model, to get a real-world price range.

I live on Long Island, NY and am looking for the best deal on the 2.5XT Limited.
 
Anyone buy one recently, where, how was your experience and what should I look to pay? I was estimating $28,500.
 
Any thoughts?

Purchase a Loaner Car?? by homefry
Dec 10, 2008 (5:54 am)

Hi,
 
I was wondering if anyone had any experience about purchasing a certified preowned 2009 Forester Premium from a dealer that had previously been used as a loaner car when customers dropped off their cars for repair. It has low miles and is certified so it has an extended powertrain warranty of 6 years, 100K miles. My concern is that it had several drivers who might not be concerned about the long term condition of the car.
 
Approximately how much less should I expect to pay for this car versus a comparably equipped new 09 Forester?
 
I'd appreciate any insight.
 
Thanks
