sorry for the typos, sticking keys and a brain that works faster than my fingers.

No guarantees but the rebates will probably continue until they've sold all the 05s.
 
$20 per year isn't much of a discount but fitting since Subarus are one of the least stolen brands. Yes the dealer can install the anti-theft system but will probably want to charge you and arm & leg for it. Others have suggested that you can get a better after-market system installed for less.

Subaru just debuted the 06 Forester at NY, so it's doubtful incentives will disappear. They have to sell the remaining 05s before the new-look 06s hit the lots.
 
The problem will be selection, however. If you are picky about color, I'd hurry.

Yeah, I thought so too. If the rebates is gone, oh well I took a chance - I just didn't want to be rushed into buying. 2006 model looked interesting but the '05 is just fine unless the '06 model mpg is increased substantially over the '05 model's mpg. I guess it is too new for that information to be available.
 
Thanks to all who replied on this thread!

Of note, base engines get 173hp, turbos 230hp, and they changed the center console and added turn signals in the side mirrors. Plus the cosmetic stuff, and about a 1/2" lift in the suspension.

I purchased my Crystal Grey XT Premium Auto for are you ready boys... $23,874. That included the 2000 bucks from Subaru. Per the dealer, this was a "loser" car. Included in the price was the all weather floor mats, rubber trunk mat, the splash guards, the center armrest extension and the bumper guard. I saved enough to do some add ons such as extended warranty. I got lucky because it didn't snow much here this year.
Happy Driving!

Final Price incl rebate: $23,500
 
All in all, it was a good experience. Did my bargaining through email and calls. About a weeks worth of back and forth. Sour taste was when they made me fill out a credit application even though I was not applying for credit. Because "they wanted to make sure they could take a cheque from me"
 
I know that was a lie and feel I should have walked out at that point...but I didn't! Next time, I'll know better! (Each time I go through a dealer experience, I learn some more!)
This will also affect my rating on the customer sat survey, I'll tell you that!
 
This forum helped me a lot to see what is a fair price to negotiate. Thanks to you all!
