All good advice - thanks! Curious... did you price the remote starter elsewhere or just prefer to have Subaru do it for you?

KBB vs. Edmunds Pricing Discrepancy on PZEV cars by evadoo

I was comparing the pricing on KBB.com to Edmunds and live in a state in which we have the PZEV engines (which costs $308 more according to KBB). Edmunds doesn't list this engine as an option nor does it do a regional adjustment for the cost of it so the two sites are ~$300 apart. Does anyone know if the cost of the PZEV engines are passed onto the consumer in low emissions states (making Edmunds price incorrect)? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that PZEV Subes have a higher MSRP than non-PZEV.
 
Are you looking at 2009 or 2010?
 
Here is the link for Edmunds pricing on the 2010 Forester, and there is a $300 option for PZEV listed about halfway down the page..

Geesh - I looked at that list 50x and missed that. Much appreciated! NOW everything agrees! Hiho, hiho... off to buy our Forester.
 
And here is a little trivia that surprised me... if you equip the Premium X with Auto and the All Weather package, you are only ~$1000 lower than the Limited X, which adds leather, climate control and fog lights. This is because the Auto and All Weather options are standard on the Limited version. I thought there would be a bigger difference but because of how the Limited is equipped, the difference is much smaller than I thought.
 
Thanks again for pointing out the PZEV for me!

I had Subaru install it since it was going to get much use during the winter...and boy did it. As far as price goes, I got it at invoice which was about the same price my wife paid to have an after market one installed on her 09 Sentra.

Good to know - I'll have to look at that again. It's easy to forget how miserable it is getting into a cold car when it's 80 degrees out but I know we will love it and use it a lot. Thanks!

Go for it, the different in invoice prices is barely over $200 and you get 5hp as a bonus, plus of course it's cleaner burning.

Oh Absolutely! It's one of the primary reasons I am buying a Forester. I saw quite a few posts from people trying to save the $200 and buying the car in another state to avoid the PZEV and I am baffled by this... but if I go on I might have to drag out my soapbox so I'll quit there.
 
But the purchase is going well so far.. I am paying $142 over invoice OTD with a Lifetime Powertrain warranty (included at no charge) on a 2010 Limited X. But now I need to figure out if it's worth the price for these options (Fully INSTALLED) which is what I was quoted.
 
remote start: $535.41
splash guards: $179.50
hood protector: $128.49
 
Always more research to do...
