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.

2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT Limited / Automatic
 
Hello everyone, just wanted to pass along the deal I finally got on my 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT Limited / Automatic at Heuberger Motors in Colorado Springs. I priced this car all over the Southwest and dealt with some pretty nasty stealerships. Some of the worst attitudes came from Premier Motorcars of Santa Fe and Galles & Davis‎ in Albuquerque. Premiere refused to give me a precise quote and then demanded that I commit within the hour! Galles & Davis‎ try to sell me a different car than the one I wanted and then claimed I was wasting their time!
 
Heuberger was definitely the cheapest dealer in the Southwest, and they claim to sell more Subaru's than anyone in the country. Hence, they can offer serious volume pricing. They had to get the car from another dealer to get it in black. The car they found came with some accessories, detailed below. I had them add other accessories after the fact. Overall, they were friendly and professional.
 
I researched all the accessory and extended service prices and Heuberger was a little high on some of the accessories but their extended working price was well below MSRP.
 
I’m planning on registering in New Mexico where I own property. Registration is a flat $60 there and tax is only 3%! So, Heuberger is not going to charge me any tax at the time of sale. They were not negotiable on the $389 dealer fees, that is basically their profit margin.

I was able to put $4000 on a credit card for miles. Going to pick it up in early February when they have the title back so I can drive straight to Mexico and register. After buying used for 15 years, this is my first new car. Overall, my experience negotiating with dealers was a bit excruciating compared with buying a used car. Still, I'm excited about my first new car.

2009 Subaru Forester 2.5x Premium by brendrives

Hello!
  
I have spent the last few weeks e-shopping for the best deal on a 2009 Subaru Forester. Bill Rapp Subaru in Syracuse, NY originally gave me the following price quote:
 
2009 Subaru Forester 2.5x Premium PZEV
Automatic transmission
All Weather Package
Fog Lights
 
3 year lease with 15k miles per year
with $1000 total down
Selling Price $23,535
Monthly Payment $323.10
Residual is 60% for a total $15,098.40
 
After driving out to meet with them we settled on decreasing the monthly payment to $319 for 35 months, as the $1000 included first payment and fees. Also, was able to have the following included:
 
All Weather Floor Mats
Vertical Cargo Net
Cargo Tray
Splash Guard
Rear Bumper Cover
Aero Cross Bars
 
I picked up my Dark Gray Metallic/Aurora Platinum Cloth this morning and loved the 65 mile drive home in the snow/ice/slush !!!
I am very excited about my first Subaru and the deal I made! THANKS to everyone's posts about their prices and driving experiences!!

It sounds pretty good—if price is your primary concern. Personally, I would opt for the Forester X Premium with the AWP (heated seats, etc.).
 
The last few days were sub-30 degrees (16 as I'm posting), and my heated seats in my WRX (and Forester S) more than paid for themselves in terms of the comfort they afforded. I'd never buy another car without that feature.
