Was this on their site? Just checked for this in NC and we have 3% taxes and it was no where close to this. Thanks for any help
Nvm…didn’t realize once you click on a car on their site it lets you select 36 month….how was your experience with them?
Not sure if i have ever seen such a large dealer discount on a Forester, congrats on a great deal!

Yes, it was on the A.C. website. I think they still have some higher trim models, but sold out of the premiums.

Still feeling lucky even though it’s taking a while to get delivery following the storms out east. Not even having buyer’s remorse yet.

My experience has been good. The snowstorms hit just as we agreed to the deal, so the paperwork was delayed, and so was the delivery, but neither was A.C.’s fault, or the dealers. The dealer has been great too in communicating well. AC said that it paid to raise the delivery fee in hopes of getting someone to take it sooner. Finally have a date locked.

10 days back I too got the same vehicle through A.C. Instead of delivery I went to dealer and drove back home. All in all it’s a great deal.

Are they just located in MD, like the OP said?
Yes, I got it from MD dealer.
Got the Forester today, and very happy with the lease and the car. I didn’t think I’d care for white, but the black trim sets it off and looks good. Drives great.

You’re seeing huge discounts on Forester because the 2025 Hybrids have ~$4750 in incentives. Part of it is customer lease cash and part is dealer cash (not visible to us). Not available on 2026s or gas Foresters.

Another $750 in dealer cash added for 2026 Forester and Crosstrek. Excludes the hybrids.

They just put a stop on selling 2025 hybrids because of an issue with the gas cap (recall)

Not sure the etiquette behind posting in an older thread but wanted to just note that I just signed on a Forester Hybrid Touring model with similar incentives. They just got the recall done so they were allowed to sell and I’ve had a couple of other dealers say the same thing, so I think the 2025s that are still on lots will be available for people to purchase/lease.

What do the $5,250 incentives consist of? And is 0.00031 the buy rate MF for 25 models?
Sorry! I realized I didn’t type everything into the notes. The dealer set the price of the vehicle $3,000 below MSRP at the outset. The $5,250 consists of the same generally public accessible $4,750 in incentives someone mentioned above. I believe it was broken out as $2,750 in “Manufacturer’s Rebate” and $2,000 in Customer Cash. Then, there was another $500 on top for educator’s discount.
And from what I can tell, 0.00031 is the buy rate MF for the 2025 models in MA. This is my first lease, so that’s from doing my quick, uninformed research on it.
I actually went in to discuss payments on a 75 month loan, since they’re doing 0% for 75 months up here but the dealer brought up that there was an additional $4,750 off for leasing. Numbers seemed to work out and if I end up liking the car, I think I could buy it out for a total amount less than buying it straight up with the 0% loan, as long as I actually buy it out in cash or get a good enough interest rate in three years.
is the residual 55% or 61%? AI is apparently giving me bad info lol
Don’t bother with ai for lease programs, way too many variables. Sign up for ratefindr or get it from edmunds.
