Replying to: jeffmc (Apr 16, 2006 8:00 pm) I love this car, wife does too but she's scared to drive it until I get the first scratch.  Only regret is not looking at leather seats, the tan is pretty light. I normally go for the econ/value model, but I'm enjoying the sunroof and heated seats. Never had so little buyers remorse on any vehicle. Thanks to this board for help/info on holdbacks, delivery, etc. Had a very nice experience with the internet dealer in Staunton, VA. Anybody have advice, recs, for various roof carriers to go on the Forester? I'll need a 4 pair ski rack and canoe / kayak racks. Don't think I'll go the 2X4 "custom" route like on my 91 Loyale

Replying to: mb789 (Apr 23, 2006 10:15 am) Uh oh... I see two problems right there. Car buying 101: You should always negotiate and finalize the purchase price of the new vehicle before beginning negotiations on the sale price of any trade-in. Secondly, you should never reveal to the dealer what you want your monthly payment to be. Doing either puts you at a strategic disadvantage in your negotiations with the dealer and doing both certainly compounds the problem  If you’re positive that your Jeep is worth more than the Subaru dealer is offering and you don’t want to sell it yourself… take it to someplace like Carmax that specializes in good condition late model vehicles. They may very well make you a better offer. Also, since a Jeep dealer is most familiar with the used Jeep market, you should consider asking their used sales manager what he’d be willing to buy it for. -Frank |

Bummer, still $2000 for the base X and $1000 for other models. I was hoping they'd put the $2000 on the X Limited. -juice

Replying to: dirtbag (May 04, 2006 7:19 am) I want a moonroof and heated seats, sure, but $3800? For that much more I want NAV as well. -juice |

Replying to: mknapp (May 03, 2006 6:41 pm) I too also started with the X vs. X premium debate like others here, but the difference was knocking on 4k. The option I wanted was the sunroof. So no $4k sunroof for me, no matter how big

Replying to: tifighter (May 04, 2006 6:41 pm)  . I can't imagine that costing you 4k. If I'm not mistaken, it would be more of a pop-up version rather than a slider. I've had both, and I think the pop-up is better since you can leave it open in a light-to-middling rainstorm when driving at speed. ateixeira - didn't you or someone quote some numbers for aftermarket sunroof not too long ago?
