Might want to post that under the smart shopper board, sub category real world trade in values.

At the bottom read where it asks for all the details, including model, transmission type, color, location, etc. All those things affect values.
 
They will tell you the dealer's auction value. You might get less on a trade if the dealer doesn't think they can put a 2004 model on their lot. You can get more selling it yourself. But it does give you a solid reference of what 04 Forester are selling for at auction right now.
 
I'm guessing it'll be around $10 grand or so.

I've seen those in the mid/high 23s. Aim for $23.5k but anything under $24k sounds good.

It looks like the invoice on that car is $23,700. Right off the bat, I see you are being overcharged for freight, which is $695 standard; add another $150 for Alaska delivery (you did not mention where you are located!).
 
At this point, you're $600 over invoice, which is about half-way between invoice and MSRP. Again, depending on your market, you can do better. I would shoot for $23,500 and be willing to pay up to $23,800.
 
Also, if you are ordering the car and since you are already getting a couple of the items included, I highly recommend the rugged package. It includes the aero cross bars and rear bumper cover, along with body side molding (protects the doors from others' doors), wheel arch molding, and splash guards. In addition to trimming the car nicely, it also protects the paint along the lower side of the rig. It is a $600 package (at invoice).

I'm in New York, I have work to do on the price. Thanks for the Rugged Package suggestion, I am willing to wait for the car to arrive and it is a good buy considering I'm going for the Areo and Bumper Cover already.

Forrester Purchase by bpraxis

Hello everyone and I hope that you are having a great day.
 
  How much of a discount should I expect ordering a 2010 Forester Premium that would have an MSRP of approximately $25,000.00?
 
  Since there is no significant floorplan on a factory order should the discount be larger?
 
  The pearl white looks fantastic but I want black interior for low maintainance. So I will probably go with silver. Love the pearl red but have it already in a Miata. Dont understand the addition of Paprika when it is so close to Camilla Red Pearl.
 
  Does anyone have any strong feelings regarding purchasing the Turbo vs. the standard 170 horsepower engine?
 
  If they had the WRX engine I would have no hesitation with 264 horsepower.
 
  With appreciation of your feedback and kind regards,
 
  Brandon

Versus a car on the lot, I would think so, but that is often not the case. It really depends on the dealer with whom you are working.
 
I would shoot for around invoice, if not a little under. If MSRP is $25,000, invoice will be appx. 94% of that, or $23,500. In person, Paprika is far different from Camellia Red. Camellia red is a deep red, regardless of light, whereas Paprika looks quite orange in bright sunlight, though it has a deeper, warmer hue in more subdued light. My car is Paprika and I have several photos of it on my Carspace page in different lighting conditions if you want to compare. Actually, for 4runshoper's benefit, the rugged package can be seen on the car, too.
 
I feel the same as you with regard to the turbo. I have a standard 2.5 in mine, and it is plenty peppy, but I would have been sorely tempted to get a turbo if it were offered as a 265hp variant; or even a manual transmission, for that matter, with the toned-down 224. As it is, it is fun and I am not likely to get into too much trouble with it.

Oh, okay. I think there is a regional Subaru distributor in the northeast, so that may be the reason for the higher freight charge.
