I am sorry, I did not include the MSRP. I have no idea what it is, the dealer did not provide that information but the base MSRP (no options) is $26,195.

I bought a 2009 Forester XT last summer in CO. It had the same options except I bought an ipod interface on ebay and had it installed at Cartoys (it cost $300 total). No regrets on buying the XT. It's a great car, great acceleration, great in heavy snow. There aren't many better cars you can buy for under 25K, I paid $24,399. No other dealer in CO would match that price. So your price sounds really good. Good luck!!

Greetings,
I am trying to purchase a 2009 Subaru Forester from Las Vegas, Nevada.
  
FEATURES
*automatic transmission
*tinted windows
*cargo cover
*auto dimming mirror/compass
*cargo tray
*rear bumper cover
*tail pipe covers dual exhaust

 
MSRP $19,995
Total Suggested retail price (not including tint, or cargo cover) was $22,294
 
Well I ended up purchasing the above car, and yes it is the base model. I shopped around out of state and the local dealer lowered the price to $21,400. I also forgot to mention earlier that we were putting down $5,000.
 
They had to truck in the Forester from a Utah sister dealership since my wife insisted on a pearl white as the color. So we had to wait one week. However, they did not have a PZEV model for that price. Dealership claimed that it would have less noise problems without the PZEV. Who knows?, but my wife is very happy with the car.
 
Thanks you all for your valuable input.

Thank you bears2! Actually I went back to the dealership yesterday and drove the X and the XT versions 2 times each - I was probably driving the poor car saleswoman nuts. I wanted to blast the AC while accelerating on the freeway and do U turns and all that fun stuff just so I was sure on my decision - and now I am thinking the X will fit my needs just fine. The XT handles well but I'd rather save that $4K....so back to the old drawing board!

The engine/trans combo are very responsive. We have a 2009 PZEV automatic, and it's perfectly adequate. In fact I'd choose a higher-mounted passenger seat if I could pick one simple upgrade.
 
The XT is far more than adequate, so I wouldn't blame you if you upgraded.

Hi all,
 
In NYC area, got an internet quote for the above with only splash gauard kit added for $22,450 before TTL, is this a fair price?
 
Thanks in advance.

That is at least $1,000 too high in my opinion. (If MSRP is $23,790 that is.)

Chuck,
 
Thanks. That means the invoice is around 21500, correct?
 
With VIP program, is it that it only gets you 2% discount over the invoice price?

Invoice would be around $22,433.
 
You don't want to use VIP in mid April. You can easily get $1,000 under invoice without even haggling. These vehicles have been on the lot for upwards of 8 months. Get a quote from a high volume dealer such as Heuberger in Colorado Springs. In your email tell them you have $1,000 under invoice from your local dealer and can they beat that price by enough to make sense for you to fly to Colorado to pick it up. I bet they can beat that easily by $400. Probably wouldn't make sense to fly their but at least then you can tell your local dealer that Heuberger is $1,400 under invoice.
 
What dealer are you talking to?

Thanks again.
 
My VIP wound not be in effective until Mid Oct., just joined. I am looking now because of the 2.9 financing, I am pretty sure I am eligible with my credit score.

This dealer has the same configuration excepts splash guard kit, which probably only $60 different, for $21,574. It is in Baltimore which is only about 3 hours drive. I would drive there if I can save $1k plus. I bought my used RAV4 from Dover Delaware back in 2003. Would not mind to do it again.
 
Should I wait till Oct with VIP where the 2010 will be out and thus 2009 will be cheaper or buy now? I am leaning toward the former as I am not in hurry to buy one.
 
The dealer is the sole Subaru dealer in Staten Island, Manfredi family.
I start with them just because they are near by, of course I know they will not be the cheapest on the first shot.
