What did you pay for your 2012 or 2013?

[missin44]

I’m curious how much below MSRP or Invoice on these models? Also where is the best place to get accurate Invoice pricing for said years.
Thanks

I paid $30,200 for a 2013 Limited with moonroof, navigation, body side molding, puddle lights, splash guards, rear bumper cover and rear side compartment cargo net. The MSRP was $33,341.

Even though I didn't buy the car through a Costco dealer I used the Costco pricing of $600 below invoice for negotiating purposes. There is plenty of bargaining room on the 2013 as dealers are getting double hold backs and even more bargaining room on the 2012's. You can get accurate invoice pricing on the 2012 from www.edmunds.com. Also look at www.truecar.com, as they have pricing for both 2012 and 2013. The following can be found on www.cars101.com.

6/13 2013 prices announced- destination now $795. Minor increases- 2.5 Premium +$200, 2.5 Limited +$400. Eyesight drive assist/moonroof/Navigation package is $3940, Special Appearance/moonroof/Navigation package is $3645

I was going to hold out for a 2013 but I got tired of waiting, so I bought my 2012 on May 29th for $25.8k ($2k under MSRP) before TTL. A good deal - not the best, but far from the worst. I also got the dealer to raise my trade in to full KBB value on my 2008 trade in and Subaru beat my preapproval for finiancing through my Credit Union, so I got 2.90%. I didn't want 0.9% on a shorter term loan. They also let me take my trade in home that night so that I could strip it down (amp, subwoofer, trailer hitch, LED tail lights, etc.) - I made several hundred dollars selling that stuff to people on my old forum.

Katzskin leather is next, then I should be about finished. Loving this car.

...still haven't spent the Costco money. I wish the were Katzkin dealers.

Weird, almost exactly did what rockthebeef did but right at $25K. Got $20K for my 2010 VW Golf TDI.

The 2.5 Prem/CVT is the price leader in this class, a lot buck-bang for $25K.

Another intangible, time is money.
The more time you spend with your rep, you’ll pay for that. Spend as less time as possible with your dealer, and not be a showroom fixture. You should be able to reach a negotiated transaction within 2-3 counteroffers.
