I have a manual pop-up, installed by Adler & Mandell in Rockville, MD. Back in '99 it cost me $300, plus $70 to cut some roof rails short and reinstall them.
 
My wife put a power tilt/slide roof in her Legacy, that was around $900 IIRC.
 
No regrets. Both are made by ASC. ASC's web site will refer you to local installers if you check.

I got an aftermarket power tilt/slider sunroof installed in my Forester for about $900. Unfortunately, you can't get an aftermarket one that's even close to as big as the huge OE one that the Forester gets.

So, When Does the 2007 Forester Come Out? by russkahn

I've had some dealers tell me July or August, but some online discussions say May. Well, it's May now. If the 07 is coming out in the next 3-4 weeks, I'd prefer to wait.
 
If only because I really want a car with an iPod/MP3 player jack, and I'm hoping the 07 will have that.
 
Then again, I've got to imagine the 07 models will be more expensive; the dealers are all probably trying to unload the 06 models. I've got quotes under invoice and without the destination fee.

Let's see what else they add. Sirius radio is supposed to be an option, too.
 
I'm hoping for VTD and SportShift but I won't hold my breath.

I've received quotes for under invoice as well. Guess it depends on if you are in a hot market for Subies, I'm not so I've been given some attractive numbers. Some of the inventory I've been shopping has been on the dealer lot since at least Feb. when I started looking.
 
Unfortunately, the trade in on my 4Runner has dropped 2-3k(depending on who's numbers you believe) since I began my search so, instead of being even or a little ahead on my trade, I'm back in the hole. I refuse to roll negative equity so I'll just keep the 4Runner for now and continue to pay it down. My Subie dreams will have to go on hold for now!

I e-mailed Subaru concerning the iPod/MP3 aux input in the 2007 Forester. Their response was that only the X Premium with the 6 disc changer would have the iPod/MP3 aux input.

That is really lame and stupid. Do you know if 6CD changer will be available as an option on X?

I was told just last week by our local Subie dealer that the 07's will arrive by late June. I'm on the South West coast of Canada. I will be in the market to purchase a new vehicle by Summer 07, and the Forester is a main contender.

I don't know if the 6 CD changer will be an option on the 2007 X. We love our '98 Forester L but little things like not offering the sunroof as a separate option and not getting a simple aux/mp3 input on the X really get under our skin. We don't need anymore than the X offers so a 3,000 upgrade for a sunroof and/or aux input is not an option.

6CD changer is a $492 option on 2006. So I assume they will continue that. You may be able to get an aftermarket sunroof for $700-800.
 
BTW, how many miles do you have on your '98 Forester?
