#791 of 2318 Re: Subaru Forester: Prices Paid & Buying Experience [crystalc] by desk Aug 15, 2005 (4:38 am)
Replying to: crystalc (Aug 12, 2005 4:01 pm) That sounds like a good price! I'm waiting for my L.L. Bean to arrive and I will be paying more, for sure. With my '98 trade-in I expect to pay $23,300 out-the-door and without the trade-in I'll pay $4k more but I don't know if that will be OTD or the price I'll have to pay tax on. Good luck with your new car. I can't wait for mine to arrive. Desk

Replying to: dbell1 (Aug 12, 2005 10:08 am) 8/15/05 - I used the Edmonds internet pricing steps, e-mailing out to 3 local dealers on the 06 Premium, manual trans, crystal Grey, received 3 call backs from the internet or fleet mgr - all 3 came in between $22,000-22,450 "out the door" price - over the phone. I told each one the other had given a price (without naming it).
#793 of 2318 price of 05 Forester X auto in MA? by newmaixma Aug 18, 2005 (8:56 am)
Hi, first time to post here. I am planning to buy a 05 Forester X auto. Does anyone get one in great boston area? What is the price I can possiblely get including the destination and the rebate?   I made a few calls. Some dealers don't have much selections and said they will get the car from other dealers if necessary. However, they will drive the car back so the milage will be increased. Is that normal?   Also what is the remote anti-theft system option? Is that just the "R** Security System Upgrade Kit"? They ask for 350 for it, but the "R** Security System Upgrade Kit" only cost about 133 according to edmunds.   Sorry for so many questions and thanks in advance.

#794 of 2318 Purchased 2005 Forester XT on 8/13 by kona9 Aug 19, 2005 (10:10 am)
My wife and I purchased an 05 XT last week. We live in Buffalo, NY which is an area where Subarus are fairly popular for their AWD and reliability. So here's what we got:   2005 Forester XT- w/o premium package, Automatic Transmission, Crystal Gray Metallic Accessories: Auto dim rearview mirror, splash guards, alarm upgrade, cargo tray, cargo net, cargo cover, and rear bumper cover. MSRP: $28k Invoice: 26,086   I negotiated for $500 under invoice plus an installed Subaru trailer hitch. Dealer countered with numerous offers, but I insisted upon this price. So we got the car for $25,586 with the hitch installed and were still able to get the $1500 cashback rebate. In NY the rebate is applied after tax, so we wound up paying $26,196 after tax. This is my first new car and I had fun negotiating. Dealers hide profit in all sorts of places, but I still think I got a fair price for the vehicle. Any other Western, NY Subaru owners viewing this board?

Replying to: newmaixma (Aug 18, 2005 8:56 am) Hi, I had been looking for a 2005 XS auto, and there the only colors anyone had were Black and White. Consequently, I wound up buying a 2006 X with the premium package. The sticker was 25,570 and we got it for $23201. Unfortunately the rebate is only $500 for 2006's.

#797 of 2318 New 2006 X2.5 auto by ithaca01 Aug 25, 2005 (6:38 am)
Just purchased my first Forester. Used edmunds to get price quotes from several dealers---went to the cheapest one and was still able to get him to drop his price by $700. For those in the Finger Lakes NY or NW PA area, I recommend checking out Simmons-Rockwell in Sayre, PA---good prices, very low-pressure sales, and willing to knock off a couple hundred to close a deal. (One complaint: why do almost all their Foresters have "custom tailpipe covers"---are other buyers really clamouring for this?)   2006 X2.5 Forester automatic Rear bumper cover, cargo tray, splash guards, cargo nets, auto dimming mirror/compass, shock sensor upgrade, custom tailpipe   Edmunds MSRP = $23.8k - $500 rebate = $23.3k Edmunds Invoice = $22.0k - $500 rebate = $21.5k Price paid = $21.3k (includes all charges except $140 title and $1700 NY sales tax) Financing interest rate: 4.5% No trade-in Replies to this message: p0926 (Aug 25, 2005 1:05 pm)

Replying to: ithaca01 (Aug 25, 2005 6:38 am) Congrats and sounds like you got a great deal.   FYI, the tail pipe cover is a pretty standard option (enhances the macho look ). I think that since it's a low cost option that most buyers opt for anyway, that most Foresters are pre-ordered with it.   -Frank
#799 of 2318 Dazed and confused by park9 Aug 26, 2005 (2:30 pm)
I must have missed something:   With no current rebates or incentives on the 2006 Forester, getting a below invoice price means cutting into the dealer's holdback?   How are people able to get the 2006 at below invoice?   Thanks for the help.
