2005 Price? by fdr1371

Hi everyone. First time Subi shopping. Just got a quote from a dealer in MN for a 2005 Forester XS (manual transmission).
 
This is what I got regarding the XS trim: "monotone exterior paint, power windows, power locks, power driver's seat, & power mirrors, abs, all wheel drive, cruise, tilt, air, am/fm/6 disc cd changer/radio, auto climate control, air filtration system, dual side & front airbags, cargo cover, fog lights, carpeted floor mats, alloy wheels, upholstery upgrade, all weather package (includes heated seats, heated outside mirrors, & windshield wiper de-icer), & limited slip rear differential. This vehicle also has the following options: cargo tray, bumper cover, and splash guards."
 
$22,243 before $1,500 cash-back. I would assume since the vehicle is financed - that negates the cash-back. Probably before tax and licenses I suppose?
 
So that looks like about $23,700 after those little gems?
 
Can anybody tell me if this is a decent deal? No mention of trade in yet.
 
Thanks to anyone and everyone.
 
Dan

That is a decent price. Here is the deal I got last month, 2005 Forester XS auto, with auto dimm mirror and winter package(de-icer, heated seats and mirrors, splash guards, rear bumper cover, cargo tray). 21000 after 1750 cash-back. You may be able squeeze a little further if there are competing dealers in your area.

Crazy! by ateixeira

That's nuts! I paid $19.2k way back in 1998. How can you get a new one with all the enhancements since then for that much less?
 
Crazy indeed.

Buying under the Subaru Partner Program by herbv1

Has anyone used the Subaru Partners program to buy a new Subaru at a good factory price. You have to be a member of one of these organizations for a period of time - 6 mos I believe. The partners list is at: http://www.subaru.com/outdoorlife/partners.jsp
 
The best price I have so far from my local dealer in Eastern NC is $22,500 (before taxes).
 
Cheers,
Herb

That price was for a 2005 Forester XS with 5-speed and a sun roof (all discounts applied). I'm going to an outdoor show in Charleston SC this weekend where Subaru US is having a display. I will be asking them questions about the Partners program and the 2006 Forester

Yes, we used the VIP program for my wife.
 
You basically get a car at invoice with no haggling. Plus you keep the rebates or dealer incentives.
 
BUT - if you look now people are beating those prices without much effort, so I wouldn't bother.

When will the '06 be available at dealers?
 
I'd bet incentives on '05s will only get better in May now that they have to clear '05's off the lots.
 
How tight is back seat room? Need more room than my VW Jetta, but specs look like these two cars are about the same as far as roominess.
