Would like to know what kind of deal I got.. 2013 Subaru legacy x premium MSRP 26,484. Price paid $23961 OTD which includes 7.725% tax and all fees. The discount off MSRP was exactly $4235. All I paid for was tax, I told them that I'm not paying for any doc fees or any other fees. So math was simple MSRP $26484-discount of $4235 plus tax 7.725% $1712= a out the door price of $23961. I also had them throw in all weather floor mats which is a $60 value. What are your thoughts? I haggled the most I could haggle, I really played hard ball to get what I got. I'm really curious to see if I got a average deal or just mediocre ? They made it sound like I stole the car, so I'm really curious to hear how I really did.
Probably a reference lost on any but Sci-Fi movie gurus.
Rather, it is almost unbelievably fantastic! I'd say you did as well as you could possibly expect to do. The dealership staff weren't joking when they said you were getting a good deal. That said, they wouldn't have sold it if it didn't further their bottom line (assuming they sold those other three units, that is!).
Thanks
Living in California if that makes a difference
thanks for your help.
sorry for the confusion.
- i meant to type "was" not "is" sorry -
" I got them down to 18.3. It is pre certified. This is before taxes. Is this a good deal? "
I don't think so. That price is high even if it were CPO. I'd say $19K is right on the money, and they'll probably end up settling for something close to that by the time they actually sell it unless they find that one person who just has to have that particular car, no matter the cost. :sick:
I was basically just pointing out that they want the moon for that car, as though it weren't two years and 15,000 miles old now.
2010 premium with all weather package - 27k miles on it.
certified
msrp 20,995
internet sale 19,995
we bought it for 18,300 - before taxes and so on
i ended up getting the 100,000 warranty on it for 1200 - i was under the assumption at 95k miles when they do the 152 point inspection they will be replacing parts that are covered by warranty if needed. Not sure if i should have gotten the warranty but i think i could always cancel it if i decide soon?
EDIT-ohh i thought xwesx was talking to me, then i didnt need to repost.-
That said, the additional warranty amzendner purchased isn't necessarily a waste if it is a gold plus 7/100 with zero deductible, as there is a whole laundry list of benefits in that plan that are not included in the standard CPO warranty.

I asked the fiance guy that at 95k miles that they would do a 152 point inspection and i "Thought" he said they would. I will call the dealership tomorrow and verify some of this.
Another question i have is i bought the car pretty close to 28k miles. According to subaru maintence schedule at 30k miles spark plugs, air filter, brake fluid and a few other things are to be replaced/inspected. When they did the 152 point inspection wouldn't they just replace all of that? or should they have? when i called them today about it they ho-hummed around the answer and said that not every one follows that maintence plan and if every thing is looking good there is no point replacing them.

I am thinking of taking my subaru to a mechanic i have been going to for 15 years and having him check everything. I just want to make sure they replaced everything they should have (which i am sure they did) i am overly cautious by nature
thanks for all your guys help.
Thanks!
Long story - our 2002 Forester S with Premium Package with 111K miles was in an accident involving another driver making an illegal u-turn, both passenger side doors damaged. Insurance giving me $3,200 for repairs, and dealer giving me $2,500 trade-in value as it is. So $5,700 total trade-in value for my car.
How am I doing?

If you want get it appraised in the Real World trade-in values thread.

Try TrueCar.com so see what people pay on average, but it varies a lot depending upon your zip code. A bargain in Alaska is not even a good deal here in the DC area.
not even a good deal here in the DC areaa fleecing anywhere else.Fixed that for you, AJ!
Forester X Limited MSRP $26,995 + Auto Dim Mirror/Compass with Homelink $292 + Body side Molding Kit $252 + All Weather Floor Mats $72 + Rear Bumper Cover $92 + Rear Spoiler $386 (this is nuts) + Splash Guard Kit $147. With destination charge of $795, total MSRP is $29,031. I paid almost 27K, average for my zipcode according to truecar.com. After $2,500 trade in + $2,700 insurance check + $1,400 Subaru Bucks, tax, etc. ended up financing the balance of 22k, 63 months, 0%. Quite happy overall.
In terms of equipment, phenomenally little is changed between this 2013 Forester and my 2002 Forester S with Premium Leather package. The 2013 has extra some safety options, bluetooth, audio controls on steering wheel, HD radio, ipod connectivity, and that's about it. It loses the CD changer (1 disc only), casette player (obsolete even in 2002). Much more room in the rear seat, much worse handling, seems cheaper inside. Drivetrain seems very similar, as it actually is almost the same with only minor changes to the motor. Fortunately visibility remains very good. I have a tire tread gauge, and I measured the tire tread - it's only 8/32"! If this trend of "shaving" the tires continues, soon you will have to buy new tires 3 months after you buy the car!
20,754 sale price
+499 doc fee
+124 title/registration fee
+622 sales tax NC 3%
OTD: $22,000
Second deal on table:
Forester 2.5x Limited, sticker 28.299. Worked them down to 26,000 out the door (NC 3% sales tax included).
Hope this detail helps anyone get a great deal on 2013 Forester 2.5x with alloy pkg or the Limited. I did not get the Limited because the diff, as you see, was $4,000 for stuff I don't need that I think won't last.
While I would like to see DI and maybe a tad more power, at least it's a timing chain now. The oil filter is also super easy to access, if you change oil yourself. MPG crept up a tad.
The only thing I miss about pre-2009 Foresters is the far better handling (and steering feel as part of that). Everything else on the 09-13 generation is heads above.
I hate the location of the filter on the '09-10 units, with the exhaust pipe wrapped around it.
