Replying to: leo2633 (Jul 19, 2006 5:15 am) I enjoy shifting the gears... getting better at it everyday. Every now and then, I over-rev the engine. My previous car was black in color(accord). I feel the difference already. My white-car does feel cooler. |

Replying to: dirtbag (Jul 19, 2006 5:26 am) Anyway, I am going to try out the hill-holder function this weekend to sense whether it is the culprit. If it indeed is the reason, I will take it to the dealer for the adjustement you mentioned. thanks. |

I've been testing the waters on a new 06 Forrester 2.5x via the internet and this has been my best quote to-date: 2.5x equipped with the all weather floor mats, rear cargo net, cargo tray and rear bumper cover (1C). The List Price on the vehicle is $23,455. Invoice cost on it appears to be $21,953. Discounted price before the rebate is $21,153. Sale Price $21,153 (before rebate) Processing 225 Taxes 1,106, Tags 153 Total before rebate: $22,637 Rebate: 2,000 Total out the door: $20,637. I would have thought with the 07's now on the lot that prices would drop more and that there would be some dealer incentives to move the 06's. Doing a quick new inventory search in the area shows that most dealers have up to 20+ Forresters on the lot. I'd really like the 2.5x premium but the rebate is paltry compared to the base 2.5x putting an out-the-door price on the premium at $23,5k or so. That's a $3k premium on the premium especially since I believe the invoice on the premium package is like $2k to the dealer. So, deal or no deal? Wait until the end of month (July) or end-of-month (August). I'm only in a hurry for the right price and can afford to wait. Can I do better on the premium package? Thanks, Diveguy

Hello All, Could use some help - I've never owned or bought a new car and am interested in a Forester (my best buddy comes from a "Forester Family - (3 in her family...) Been closely monitoring the forum to see the type of prices people are getting for the '06 models. Am from the tri-state area so there are numerous dealers around me. Dealer 1 2.5 X Prem with package 1 (rear bumper cover, cargo tray, splash guards), all weather mats, rear spoiler, custom tailpipe, package 4 (autodim mirror/security sensor) Sticker: $26607 TMV Invoice = 23968 + 625 Destination = 24593 CR Invoice = 23220 + 625 Destination = 23845 Dealer 1 offered to sell for 23000 (not including tax & tags) - and I think he WAS including the $1000 discount (finance rate of 7.4 -  ) Dealer 2 2.5 X Prem with package 1 (rear bumper cover, cargo tray, splash guards), all weather mats, package 4 (autodim mirror/security sensor), 2 side cargo nets, & wheel locks Sticker: $26274 TMV Invoice = 23754 + 625 Destination = 24379 CR Invoice = 23006 + 625 Destination = 23631 Dealer 2 offered to sell for 24379 (not including tax & tags) - with 3.9% financing. I just don't feel like I'm getting much of a "deal" from either of these dealers and am willing to shop around... Am I being unrealistic? One other "cosmetic" question -- for those of you that have the beige interior - how does it hold up in terms of dirt??? Common sense leads me think that the gray interior is better? And has anyone ever had trouble with "leakage" or malfunction with the moonroof? Thanks in advance, Webdiva
