Seems silly, just consider the price that much higher.

forester xt by lawkim

I have a quote in So Cal for a forester xt automatic with no options (pretty basic) at $23K with $2K rebate - the guy said he's selling at invoice price. Is this a good deal? Also, do you guys think the rebates will stay in June? I don't need the car until June, but I wasn't sure if I can still get the same discount.

Wait or buy? by ateixeira

We hear about this dilemna every time this year.
 
Prices will only go down. So that would imply you should wait. The last left over will likely be the biggest bargain.
 
Selection, however, will also become scarce. If you are picky about color and options, do not wait, buy one now. I think they already stopped making the 2005s so the selection has already begun to dwindle.

soon buying a 2005 forester XS by dancer1

We got a price of $24,141 for a 2005 Forester XS with an automatic transmission from the local dealer in FL. Includes the destination charge. The dealer fee is $399, bringing it up to $24,540. Minus the $1,500 rebate it comes to $23,040.
 
Then taxes, tag transfer, trade in, have to be computed later.
 
We plan to visit dealer on 05/30/05 and offer to buy it for $20,000 and see what he says. If it does not come down to about $21,000, we will walk away and tell him we will shop around and/or come back at the end of June to dicker again. We will not be choosy about color. We are not in any hurry to buy.
 
Make sense? Any tips?

Forester X by bug054

Just bought a Forester X - manual a few weeks ago when rebates were still $1750. Had a few extras already on it, cargo mat, tweeters, tail pipe cover. We added a few more, rubber floor mats, dimming mirror and rear bumper cover. Paid $19,000 which included the rebate. No tax here in Oregon, so just $168 more to cover the license for 4 years! Hope that's helpful - great fun to drive! Love it!

Can you tell me a little more about that " no tax in Oregon " part ?? Is there a residency requirement to purchase ?? Please, please let me know. I just stumbled upon this " Forum " while researching on Edmunds.com.
Thank you sooo much !!

shears4me, it doesn't matter what state you buy a vehicle in; you pay the taxes from the state you live. So if you currently don't live in Oregon and don't plan on moving there, then, unfortunately, the "no tax in Oregon" isn't applicable to you. Some people are lucky with this; I'm not one of them.

$23k seems a bit high (are there any options installed) but I doubt you're going to find a dealer willing to take that $20k offer. If it was me, I'd be shooting for something around $22k.

FYI -questions about whether Subaru is extending the rebates - looks like a manufacturer -to-customer rebate of $1500 is in effect until June 1 for X and XS, $2000 for XT.
