Out of all the small/mid-sized SUVs I test drove (including the Acura RDX), I liked the Subaru Forester best. Trying to get an idea as to what the actual price would be on the Limited model. MSRP is 27-29k. I understand there is a 2k rebate on some models right now, but not the Forester. Does Surbaru offer extra incentives to cash purchasers? (Acura dealer doesn't - guess they make more $$ on financing everyone). Should I buy vehicle with nav system/sat radio or have it done as aftermarket? Thanks.

Replying to: goldy74 (Jun 08, 2009 9:29 am) I am going to hold out for a $1-2K rebate or 0% financing rate that may show up in July or Aug after the 2010s have been on the lot for a while. That may not happen & if it does not happen before Aug I am concerned that the selection of 09s will be pretty slim, in which case there is not enough difference of the MSRP. between the 09 & 2010 model to cause me to break into a sweat. |

Replying to: acurashopper (Jun 08, 2009 5:43 pm) I'll be honest - Subaru is not known for their stereos. You may want to spend it on aftermarket parts if you're an audiophile. Good news is the opening is a very standard double-DIN, so basically you have a huge selection to choose from in the aftermarket. Even the Navi is only so-so - no backup cam, and the 2009s don't even have Bluetooth (2010 got it). Right now you can get subsidized financing but no rebates. Subaru priced the Forester right and didn't need them. |

Edmunds says don't pay "dealer prep" charges. Some dealers charge for "document preparation" The Subaru dealer I'm interested in wants $429 for "dealer handling" What do you think is fair?

Replying to: boho (Jun 22, 2009 9:40 pm) In MD, for instance, such fees have to be less than $100. In neighboring VA, I've seen fees in the $300 range, but $429 is a new record. Just include that in their price when you shop around and compare (which is exactly what I would do). |

Since it's the last day of the month I just got an OTD price on a base model 2009 forester X for 20,956...should I pull the trigger?
