We have a 2005 Forester 2.5X and want to upgrade the speakers.
 
What brand would you recommend, and where can I get them?
 
Thanks,

Since this is a pricing discussion, you'll probably have a better shot at an answer here:
Subaru Forester
 
Or...here:
 
Subaru Crew - Modifications II

Plus destination? Only fair, there are a lot better out there.
 
And there's only one "r" in Forester.

Thanks bearjjj,
 
I hope I didn't miss the boat. I could have gotten the '06 XT Limited with rear bumper cover and security system shock sensor (whatever that is) for $25,500 (this was the price after the $1000 rebate) in the last week of December 2006 and I didn't take it. Thought I could get a better deal if I waited a few months, plus I didn't want to pay $$$ for the security shock sensor. BTW, what the heck is a "rear diff proctor"???
 
The dealer ordered one for me with only the rear bumper cover and I'm waiting for the best price.
 
I read someone's post about the hood scoop insert. I think he had the dealer install it and it was very easy. I plan on buying one too. I'm wondering how they can sell the car without this protective piece of equipment as standard - or at least available as a dealer installed option. Seems to me to be more useful than most of the junk they do offer. If I don't install it, won't all kinds leaves and junk get sucked in the hood scoop???

for AWD car, there is a device so that all four wheels can run together, rear diff proctector is a cover to protect it.
 
there is a filter under hood scoop, it's no hurt have another filter installed. I will talk with my dealer next week about that. Thank you!
 
Hope you get a deal for your subi!

2006 LL Bean in TX,OK,AR area by turboturtle
Mar 07, 2006 (8:54 pm)

I've been offered a new 2006 Subaru Forester LL
Bean Edition with Popular Equipment Group 1 (MSRP
$27,809) for $26,112. This does NOT include a rebate.
  
Two dealers and Edmunds say that dealer invoice is $25,812 for this model, package and destination.
  
According to another dealer who does not have any LL Beans available, this is $300 over invoice and a fair price. This dealer also said, if he had a LL Bean available, he wouldn't go less than one percent over invoice.
  
Comments/suggestions?

Yeah, the general manager happened to be ordering more cars just to keep on hand, when I was on the phone with him, so I asked if he could order an XT Limited fairly stripped from all the add-ons and they're getting one in. Supposed to have been here already, but there was a screw-up. It's not being ordered specifically for me. If I don't buy it, someone else will.
 
Geez, by the time they get in the car I want, it'll be time for the 2007's to come in. Don't they arrive in July sometime? I'm wondering now if I should just wait - unless they take off $2000 from the invoice price for the 06.
 
Now, I just need to know what the best price is on this car from others around the country, so I will have negotiating leverage.

Finding out what others paid around the country will only give you a headache, there are too many people who will embellish on the deal they got. Send an email to a few dealers in your area and see what they'll part with.

Raybear's right... too many variables. The number one factor that determines price is supply and demand and that can vary widely from one part of the country to another.
 
If you want, you can go to Fitzmall's website and find out their price for a comparably equipped Forester (FitzMall has some of the lowest no haggle prices you'll find anywhere). However, your dealer could easily laugh and tell you if you want that good a deal you should feel free to drive to DC to get it
