Find out the dealer holdback, buying the consumer report is one way ($14) or you could probably find it with enough online searching. You should be able to get under invoice by getting into their holdback. It's usually around $700, so if you aim for $500 under you'll have a good start.

Good Deal? by levywil

I think that maybe the best part of this deal is that I can opt out.
 
Forester Premium w/ AWP and no other options for $23.6k before TTL.
 
Are any of the Popular Equip Groups required (meaning every vehicle comes w/ one of them)?
 
Need some advise, please help...thx

Subaru dealer holdback is 2% of MSRP. It's posted on Edmunds. No need to waste money buying Consumer Reports. I would shoot for invoice and half of the holdback. Probably won't get that low but it is something to shoot for.

Price looks good to me. Not sure about the required packages, it may even vary by region. SoNE has their own system.

PZEV pricing by rckpgh

Hi, all.
 
I would like to order a Forester, but I am not sure how to price the car if it is a PZEV. I live in one of the states that require it. PZEV is listed on the car's sticker in PA, but without a price. Does that mean Foresters in PA and 10 other states have different invoice costs, if the cars sold there are PZEVs? Do I calculate PZEV as an option if I decide to order the same car in Ohio? Ohio does not require that dealers sell the PZEVs, but dealers there can order them, since they border a PZEV state. I have found some dealers willing to offer me an ordered car at invoice, but I am not sure how to work the calculations of invoice when I want a PZEV.
 
Thanks in advance for your help. I haven't been so lucky figuring this out on my own and I can't really trust the salespeople to enlighten me!

PZEV is one of those options that has an odd pricing:
 
At invoice, the price for PZEV is $308. At MSRP, it is $300.
 
My wife and I live in Alaska and opted to purchase a PZEV car. It was easy to get in Washington (which requires it), plus my wife really wanted to the lower-emissions car. I purchased my car for $300 under invoice. My dealer priced all options I added at invoice before deducting the $300, so I paid $308 for the PZEV.

Hi, everybody, already got a lot of useful information from people's posts. I live in Bay area, CA and am ready to purchase a 10 Forester 2.5x Premium without the All Weather Package, but does include a few other options like the auto-dim mirror. the Suggested MSRP is about 25,100, and I am aiming to bring it down to 23,400, am I reasonable? Would appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance.

That's a little low, I'd be very impressed if you can get that. 23.5-23.8k is more common.

That's what I was going to say. I don't think the offer is unreasonable; invoice is about $23,594 for the car.

My Newport Blue Forester was delivered this morning, and I'm in love. I decided on the 2010 Premium All-Weather Package, automatic transmission, with the Popular Equipment Package 1A and body-side molding. The price was $23,018. According to Edmunds, that's $867 under invoice. Great dealer experience, with zero pressure and no last-minute silly sales tactics. I couldn't be happier.
 
Thanks for your help and advice, Forester experts. It is very much appreciated!
