And I put down 800 and am paying $325 per month until 2015, does that sound fair for this car?
Subaru isn't known for great audio, so I'd look to aftermarket upgrades if you're an audiophile.
We're not, so to us it sounds fine.
Actually, when I plug in my old iPod Mini from 2003, the sound is fine. I can't understand it. But CDs, radio, my newer iPod? Forget about it.
But glad to know it's not just me! I wish I had noticed it when I was test driving. I'm low on funds so I can't exactly upgrade it at the moment.
The Subaru's default equalization is quite tinny and requires you to turn the volume up way too loud. I usually put Bass at 4 and both mid/treble at 8. Then, I can put the volume at 20 while cruising and the equalization is fine along with the volume.
I will say, though, that the Fiesta's sound is much better. :P
Best one currently
MSRP $28,479 ( Limited, Destination, Mirror/compass, Body side molding, Bumper cover,Splash guards) no other dealer installed equipment.
Invoice $26, 546
Car price $24,395
7% Tax= $1,707.65
4 year Registration and tags $316.
Tire Tax $7.50
Doc Fee $ 269
OTD = $26, 695.15
0% financing for 63 months
I think you can get it for 23,918 OTD. Not including your registration....$24235 with registration.
It is a 2013 model, but they'd be selling it at a solid loss if they let it go for that price.

25332.00 Bottom Line Price
221.50 License

Vehicle price ........... $24,800

In socal its easy to get 400 over invoice if you can find the right FXT.
BTW, truecar has incorrect invoice pricing on some accessories, so get your numbers right before hand.
Congrats!
Went for a test drive today of both the Forester and Outback. I've also driven the CX5 and the RAV. I was incredibly impressed by the Forester.
Ideally, I would like a Premium Auto.Don't need the all-weather package or other options.
I wasn't ready to do final negotiations with the salesperson today, but asked for ball park pricing.
First issue - he started telling me that as this is the north east, all the cars come with the weather package..."everybody wants it." He also told me that things like the auto lighting approach mirrors and auto dimming mirrors are also on every car..(another extra 500 on top of the 500 for the all weather package).Add in the cargo cover, mud flaps etc...and we have 1300$ in options that he insisted were basically ordered up by everyone.
So, my question for this experienced group - how true are these statements?Was this similar to your own experience or did your dealer customize your car as you saw fit?
Second, assuming that the dealer is exaggerating and I can pushback hard, I'd love to hear what I should be insisting to pay for a premium CVT without any additional options. I saw someone on this thread paid 26500 OTD with the WinterOption, which sounds fair to me...
Any feedback on these two questions would be GREATLY appreciated. Any experiences in the NY/NJ, CT area are especially helpful. I will of course update the group and help any future buyers that I can.
We paid (Eastside Subaru, Kirkland WA):
24995
188.25 excise tax, license, title, registration
2449.51 sales tax (9.8%, but WA state sales tax is [mostly] deductable from federal income tax - we're special.)
150 documentary services fee (which really should just be rolled into the sales prices, sigh)
I guess the dealer mixed up the numbers a bit but we're happy with the price.
Would have probably bought it then and there if the salesman didn't start to try to upsell me every single conceivable option.
My question- what should I expect to pay OTD for a Premium Forester CVT? I think the standard feature set will suit me just fine. I'd love to hear how buyers on this thread did...please specify any options above the standard Premium trim package you included. I'd be so appreciative of this groups feedback.....and will provide an update for all future readers.
But I think the dealer mixed up some numbers, probably should have been closer to $25K OTD but I'm not complaining.
What am I missing?
So yes, it wasn't a straight $23.9K OTD but with the over valued trade, it essentially was.
And yes, their initially valuation of our trade was more accurate. No way we should have received $2.5K over what we owed on our own car. We went to multiple dealerships and they offered below or at the initial trade value of $2K under.
Sticker at $31073 plus dealer added at my request
wheel locks and moonroof wind deflector.
Paid $29700. nyc area.
12k 42 mo.
Lease payment $273.00 includes tax
MSRP $26,885.
Car Price $23167.00
36 Months 12k per year
287.00 as first month payment 35 remaining.
Decent Deal!
Quick update. I've received a couple of dealer quotes on a new 2014 forester and have found some variation. Best I've found is in the 27500 range OTD (tax, dmv, etc). This is for a Premium with the all weather package. I'm not trading anything in.
What do you think? Pull the trigger or is 27000 OTD closer to what I should expect to pay?
Should mention for those out of state - NY sales tax is 8.625%
This is how much you would pay if you used the Subaru VIP program (available if you join several groups -- IMBA is the least expensive at $30 per year --- must be a member for a minimum of 6 months before purchase).

There is currently an offer of 1.9% financing for all new 2014 Foresters. I'd much prefer a cash back offer. Does Subaru ever offer cash back incentives in place of low interest rate financing incentives? If so, how often does Subaru switch their promotions? i.e., when/how often should I check back with my local dealers to see if a cash back offer has emerged?
How much truth there is in this statement is unknown, but I'll see what I can do.
Wonder if anyone else had luck with this approach??

What state are you located in...and did you have any loyalty rebates or anything attached to that or are you just a really fine negotiator?
I got $200 below invoice.
I am going to order my from manufacturer. The wait is 8 to 10 weeks.

Out of door $30,420 (before any financing charges)
Need to decide if finance or try with cash buy to see if I can get under $30,000
Happy buying.....
I am working with a small dealer in MD area. The salesperson is very sincere in his job and works with you to get all the necessary documents needed to do your own financing. He sent me the PO via email.
MSRP: $27,322
Invoice: $ 25,437
Price paid: $24,928
Doc Fee: $80
Tax 9%: $ 2,250
DMV: $262
E-title: $15
Tire Fee: $8.75

Instock vehicle, no need to order or VIP. Email negotiation.
It seems that asking for $27,300 + TTL is a very good price. Is that correct?
I'm not interested in getting the extra option (although could be convinced if you have advice on that)
Thanks in advance.
