For Colorado, your deal sounds pretty good. I have seem them here in Topeka for 19,000 but they don't sell as many here...   basic 06 Forester, 5 speed, no options. Local dealer quoted me $19,421 after the $1000 rebate

Replying to: bonus (Oct 03, 2005 12:22 pm) That is an excellent price, but what region is this? I am from the new york tri-state area and I was looking for the same specs for my forester.

Replying to: jeep1988 (Oct 12, 2005 8:20 am) Something's not right with these numbers! How do you get from $25,050 offer less $1000 rebate = $24,050 TO amount paid of $22,500, including TTL??? Seems to me the number should be 24,050 + TTL = well over $25K. What am I missing here?
#836 of 2765 Seems to me the number should be 24,050 + TTL by jeep1988 Oct 21, 2005 (6:16 am)
godeacs,   The price I paid was after more negociations. The internet offer was what got me there. I did homework and put together a price offer spreadsheet. I offered $22,000 out the door and they came ack with $23,500 and I said $22,500, or I will walk. They said, you have a deal. So, I bought. That is how.

Just came back from signing the papers, delivery set for next Friday.   Brown's Chrysler-Jeep-Subaru Patchogue, New York   2006 Forester X, 5-speed manual, Garnet Red Options: KYE (Auto-Dimming Mirror/Compass), M6L (Rear Vertical Cargo Net)   MSRP: $22,619 Invoice: $20,921 Edmund's TVM (w/$1,000 rebate) $20,910 My price: $20,765 (not counting, of course, New York's disgusting 8.65% sales tax)   Very good low-pressure buying experience, I never thought I was getting hustled. There was no discussion of financing as I've got one of those "blank check" deals through Capital One, so I can't comment on the dealership in that respect. I test-drove both a Forester and an Outback and gave a slight edge to the Outback. The dealership's best offer on the Outback was about $2,500 more (in line with Edmund's), and while I liked the Outback more that the Forester, I didn't like it that much more and was satisfied in going with the Forester. Totally unrelated comment: among the vehicles in the showroom was a Jeep Commander. I used to think that the AMC Pacer was the ugliest vehicle ever built. Not anymore
#839 of 2765 Thanks.. by jeep1988 Oct 24, 2005 (8:42 am)
godeacs,   Thanks, I am enjoying it. Your right I did forget the number trail, completely.

Replying to: jeep1988 (Oct 12, 2005 8:20 am) HI How could they afford to give you almost a $6500 discount on a brand new 2006 Forester? What information did you go to the dealer with that made them sell you the car for such a low price? Did you catch them at the end of the month? Was your car the car that would allow them to make their numbers? How did they make any money on the deal? The dealers will often say that their price is a little less than invoice. What is the dealers real cost for a car with a MSRP OF $27,500 and does the price vary by dealer or volume? Thank you for any information you may be able to provide as I would like to get a good deal on a subaru and join the club.   Thank You Khyle

Go to www.carbuyingtips.com there are some great tips on negociating for a new vehicle on this site.   I was on Sept. 23, toward the end of the month. I was the 25 car they sold that week. They must have been in the mood to sell, I guess.   Most dealers like informed customers. Do your research ahead of time and don't be in a hurry to buy. Furthermore, be prepared to walk. MSRP was the price on the sticker. The dealer could have upped the price or such. But, I always make my deal within 30-40 minutes; anything longer, I walk. No deal should take longer than that.   Know what the invoice is, then subtract customer rebate, and then subtract factory hold back. Remember, they collect on holdback from Subaru, not you, don't buy if a dealer is trying to make you pay holdack, if they do, get up and leave because they are crooked.   Also, tell the dealer, everyday they keep that car, is costing them money, they make payments on the cost of the car, they do not buy the car outright, not many places could afford to buy that many vehicles at once on their lot.   Hope this helps, but that website, very valuable.
