I thought I heard $1000 off, plus $1000 in "package savings", which means the group of items cost $1000 less than they would have a la carte. But that's not the same as a $2000 rebate.

I think you are right. I do see a 1000 off premium package in the sticker. So, that discount is already included in the MSRP. Right now, the best quote I got for premium package is $22600, MSRP $26177. Is this a good price? Since Subaru sales declined on the first half 2006, I think they will throw out the better rebate or incentive.

Compare with prices at fitzmall.com. The prices are legit, too, just add $99 processing fee, and tax/tags. No surprises.

2005 Bean by lumber1

I am looking, searching the internet for a 2005 used Subaru Forester LL BEAN, hard to come by but what I want, the Premium Package would be cheaper but I just favor the beans looks! I did test drive a 2003 but waiting for a newer one with less miles, after months of researching and comparing, fitzmall's price (read on here to check there prices out)$22,995 (10500mi) & dealers around my area Toledo to Chicago - $22978(12700 mi)- or $24,495 (6766 mi). Before I go to test drive again, Is there any negotiating/ leeway of these prices advertised? or do they seem fair? I will not be trading in my car (passing it on to my teenager in a few months)

Keep looking and you'll catch someone snoozing. Subies do hold their value fairly well. I've even seen used cars sell for more than new.

This (22600) is around the price that I've been aiming at for a X Premium. Where did you get this offer?

$22,600 sounds great for an X Premium! The best I was able to find in Los Angeles was just over $23,000. That $2000 off deal is just a gimmick. They have been offering a $1000 rebate on 2006's since last year and the additional $1000 is off MSRP for the Premium package only - and the MSRP is a bullsh*t price anyway. When they give a $1000 discount off "invoice" price, that will get my attention.
 
Anyone out there come across a great price for a 2006 XT Limited with Auto trans? I could have bought one a month ago for $25,500, but I'm thinkin' I can do better. Any thoughts?

$25,500 and you turned it down? That was a great offer! There was a small amount of dealer cash offered last month and it's gone now. I'm looking at a base invoice of $27,468.00 before the $25 port fee. With $1148 in holdback and $1000 rebate there isn't much wiggle room there. Last month's dealer cash was only $250 on Foresters and you had to hit a certain number of sales to get it.

The DEALER'S bottom line cost for the Premium is $22,899 and that includes deducting their holdback of $748.

The $25,500 wasn't even the cheapest price I got. If I drove 100 miles out, they were talking $25,380 with two years free oil changes. If I went to an adjoining state, I could have gotten one for $25,185 or so. That's why I didn't take the $25,500 deal. Plus, it included a rear bumper cover and something called a "shock sensor" that they couldn't even explain to me. I didn't want to pay for these extra goodies and I can afford to wait until they're giving better prices or more rebates. I didn't know about the dealer "holdback" amounts. The salesman should have told me that at the time. To be perfectly honest, I don't even know what a "dealer holdback" is!
 
This all went down the week before New Year's and he told me that he was giving me this deal because the salesmen would get a bonus if they sold a certain number of cars before the end of the year. I walked because I didn't want to pay the $200 for those two "extras" mentioned above.
 
If your base invoice price is $27,468, does the car have those expensive goodies like cargo mats, nets, dimming mirror, etc? That would explain the extra costs.
 
Oh well, I still have a car to drive and the cash for the new one, so I can always make a deal somewhere. I hate buying new cars anyway (prefer used), so that $25,500 was making me choke anyway. I can't find a private party used vehicle.
