Are you referring to a 2009 XT? In July I bought a 2009 XT with no extras except dimming rear view mirror, splash guards, luggage cover (most XT come with that package). At that time I paid $24,300, which was everything but tax title and registration. I shopped around for months and nobody was willing to match the price. You should always check Heuberger Motors in Colorado Springs, CO. They transport everywhere and they have great prices because they are a volume dealer motivated to sell more Subarus than anyone in the West, which they usually do (if they do they get big money from Subaru Corp.) They didn't have the color I wanted so they got one from another dealer and gave me the same price (that other dealer wouldn't sell me the car for that price!!). The downside is...don't expect stellar service. I didn't have a problem but I've heard that others were unhappy. It's a trade off but I was glad to save the $$ and It's a great car. Be careful and good luck.

A big congradulations on a fantasic deal Bears and I very much appreciate your feedback regarding Hueberger.
 
  They offer fantastic pricing but after adding $600.00 for shipping and their new doc fee it does not make as much sense for me.
 
  You purchased your 09 Turbo for about $1000.00 less than my lowest offer but once again if I add the above fees it becomes closer to a wash.
 
  I have also heard mixed feedback about the shipping experience with Hueberger but I do wish their dealership was closer to me.
 
  I believe that Subaru was offering a rebate a couple of months ago on the Forrester.
 
  Should I wait for future incentives. My thinking is that the Forrester is in greater demand now because of the snow.
 
  As I remain with appreciation and kind regards,

The price includes auto dim mirror w/compass and homelink, luggage cover, and splash guard kit.
 
Is it good deal? Thanks

Yes, from what I've seen, it's a great price.

we got a dealer price $200 lower than the invoice.
 
invoice (with certain options): $25500
dealer offer: $25300
out-of-door (dealer offer + ttl + tax) : ~ $27300
 
How is this offer? Is $200 lower than the invoice good enough?

Shop at fitzmall.com for a reference point, then ask them to beat Fitzgerald's price.

New Car Being Registered as Used Car by connieylee

I had a weird experience. I bought a new Forester X Limited from Fitzmall in MD with 9 miles on it. It had been on their website as being "on order" and I put a deposit on the car. I picked it up about a week after it was delivered. Today I registered it in a different state - NJ - and they informed me it was being registered as a used car because the dealer had registered it - either that is their normal policy or it was registered as a demo model. I'm really confused. Is this normal practice if you're purchasing from out of state? Or did the dealership screw me somehow?

That seems a little strange.... but, every state is different..
 
When I buy a car from Ohio (which is very close), they first title it in my name in Ohio (as a non-resident, so no tax), then take the Ohio title to KY, to title it and pay tax.. But, it is still noted as a new car...
 
NJ may be different...
 
Another possible explanation (but not likely on an '09 Forester), is that a dealer will mark a car as "sold" to collect an expiring incentive from the manufacturer. Probably not the case here, though..
 
A call to FitzMall would probably answer the question, definitively..
 
regards,

Well, after freaking out and calling the dealership, I went back to Motor Vehicles and they told me that whoever processed me earlier today gave me the wrong form. Anyone here shocked? So it IS still a new vehicle but they can't reverse the 2 year inspection they gave me earlier today. Not a big deal. I'm happy as long as it's acknowledged to be a new car... Thanks for your help!

Strange indeed. 9 miles is definitely still new to me.
