If you are thinking about buying soon, I just got the Subaru newsletter with a coupon good toward your next vehicle purchase, expires in about a month or so. You are told to gt your best deal, then show the dealer your $500 coupon. Unfortunately, I already have my car, and the coupon is not transferrable...but, perhaps if you sign up for the newsletter right away, if you aren't getting it already, you'll be able to get a coupon as well???

Walked in Carlsen Subaru in Redwood City, CA 4:15 PM Sunday afternoon, asked for Larry Fung directly (completely based on Yelp reviews), drove my new 09 Forester out of the door by 6 PM. This is the shortest car buying experience and most satisfying for me. The finance manager was also quite friendly, no pushing, very frank. Larry gave a good price and lots of good suggestions. He even helped to wash the car in order to speed things up for me (got two kids waiting). It was very pleasant experience. 2009 Forester 2.5X based model silver Automatic transmission Popular package 1A (cargo tray, cargo cover, rear bumper cover, tail pipe cover) PZEV package Forgot about MSRP, dealer shows invoice $21,866 Got it for $20,000 plus tax + DMV, Took a 45,000 mile maintenance plan for $1300 2.9% finance for 36 months with zero down. I am pretty satisfied for an AWD car at 20K. Awesome! |

Hello all, Our present car has suddenly decided to die, we think. I have been looking at the Forester for about a year now and really like the 2009 model. I went to the Subaru web site and built my own car. For the Premium with all weather and some cargo nets, the MSRP is $24,671, including destination but nothing else. Tax in Michigan would be about$1,482. I love the car but at heart I am also very careful with my money. I would like to make an offer of $23,000 OTD figuring on going up to $24,000 OTD. Is this unrealistic? BTW I live near Ann Arbor, Michigan. Thanks for any help.

Replying to: annarborgal (Mar 29, 2009 6:54 am) You might want to check with several local dealers. Email them with the the car you want including options, and ask them to email you back their best price for the vehicle "on the road," which means taxes and any other expenses. Just make sure you send the exact same info to all the dealers so that you will be comparing apples-to-apples. Bob |

Greetings, I am trying to purchase a 2009 Subaru Forester from Las Vegas, Nevada. FEATURES *automatic transmission *tinted windows *cargo cover *PZEV Experian credit score is 682 Trans union credit score is 691 The COST *$22,440 + tax + title. *4.9% / 72 months (dealer pays rate buy-down) *Dealer pays shipping Am I right in thinking that offer was not a good deal? He would not budge on the price and it was only available "tonight" with the buy-down from 5.9% lowered to 4.9%. So I left and did not come back that night since I have read in the above posts of others getting such better deals (like alexlzl from nearby California for $20,000). 1- Do you think I should I go out of state like through nearby California dealers to get a better deal? Utah or Arizona also possible? 2- Or, perhaps the nearest Costco Auto program is worth while but it is 400 miles away! in American Fork, UT? I would really appreciate any wisdom you can shed on my situation. Thank you

Replying to: hottyson (Mar 29, 2009 9:44 am) Prices can and do vary by region, but I'd try to get a price from a far away dealer and then ask the local one to meet it. I agree with Bob's advice above, shop out-the-door prices, compare dealers and most importantly let them know you are comparing shopping, so they give you their best price. |
