I agree, it would be like buying a mattress from a motel. Those cars get used every day by a different person who really doesn't care about the car.
 
Not as bad as a rental, then again maybe it is.
 
I would expect to pay at least 10% less than a new one, maybe even 20%.
 
Thing is, you can get a deal on a new one, so I wouldn't bother with the loaner.

I totally agree. Unless they knock a lot more off the price, don't do it.

2009 Forester 2.5X Premium by driverboy

I am getting the following quote in SF bay area for 2.5X with Premium and All weather package.
 
MSRP: 25309
Sell Price: 22809
 
Lease is $286 per month including CA tax with $1291 due at signing (includes first month + lease acq fees + DMV fees)
 
Residual is 62% and MF is 0.00175 for 36/12 terms
 
Seems like a decent deal. Comments?
 
A little off-topic but the 2.5X does feel quite sluggish to me. I wonder how it will handle in the mountains (Lake Tahoe in my case) during the ski season...

Yes, a good deal, because that residual is crazy-high. Competitors are around 45-52% or so under the same terms.

Price on Forester 2.5XT Limited with NAV by jlabaudio

hello everyone,
 
I appreciate all the information that has been posted as I've been searching for my new Foerster.
 
I just got the following quote from Galles & Davis Subaru in Albuquerque, New Mexico:
 
Forester 2.5XT Limited with NAV, Spark Silver with black leather and:
All Weather Mats
Spoiler (I've seen this listed as stock but is also a separate accessory online)
Security Shock Sensor
Autodim/compass mirror with homelink
Cargo tray
Side cargo net
Round cross bar kit
Seat back cargo net
Splash guard kit
iPOD phone console tray
Moonroof Air Deflector
 
$28,388 with all accessories installed
3% New Mexico tax: $851.64
Registration and docs: $352.36
OTD: $29,592.94
 
I believe the MSRP for this deal is: $31,445
I think the invoice is $29,432
 
And they are working with me on the registration as I am really a dual resident of Arizona and New Mexico. I have a business/house in Arizona and property in New Mexico. Arizona State tax is almost 8% and registration here would be about $600 per year. New Mexico is 3% and registration is a flat $60. I think they are probably making a few hundred dollars, which is fine.
 
What do you guys think? I am looking at doing this today. I may try to get them to give me Bluetooth at invoice. I think on top of their profit, they also make a commission from Subaru, correct?

Did the $26,180 include the $389 fee and tax? I'm considering buying an almost identical car from them. Any other advice?

Sorry haven't checked the site for a bit, andiron, so you will see this late...after you are enjoying your new subie.
 
This is a great price! Seriously, once you get down to the negotiation, any price that you are happy with paying is a great price!
 
Congrats on your new Subaru! I hope you really enjoy it!

Nope. The $389 was tacked on separately. I didn't care because the price on the vehicle was so good.
