dealership(s) in San Diego--buying and service by bzribee
Feb 05, 2007 (8:57 pm)

As far as I can tell there is only one dealership in San Diego (Convoy area) and they don't inspire me much. Does anyone have a suggestion for another dealership? Also, the Convoy one is close to where I live, but I hear they can treat you badly if you don't buy from them. Is ther any truth?
 
I expect to buy in the next month, though now I'm wondering if I should hold out for the June release of 2008's. After reading all these wonderful and informative posts, I've decided to stop looking for a used vehicle unless some miracle show up in my face.
 
Thanks for thoughts and all the previous posts throughout these forums.

Found 06 at 12,000 mi for $17,795--thoughts, & Carfax.. by bzribee

This is at a dealers--Kelly puts excellent condition (which includes maintainence records) at 17,795 and good condition at 16,520. Carfax says there are 4 reports, seems to say 4 reports for every car, so maybe that's the normal buy, return, auction, sell??? Anyone know?
I have the car overnight and know they will pressure me to buy. I haven't bought the Carfax report yet--want to decide if I really want this or not. 2008's are coming out soon.
According to dealer the car was registered at a marine base. That's all I was told when she looked at carfax. hmmm.
I'd appreciate any comments.

Assume you're talking a X automatic. I looked at a 06 rental return with 11k that was in nice condition. Dealer was asking $17k on a weekend ad. I'd shoot for closer to $17k. Around the Portland area you can pick up brand new 07 automatic for $18.5k.

Price I paid for my Forester 2007 by vagabond

I just bought my first Subaru Forester 2.5X and I’m very pleased with my purchased. It was the base model, and the only extra option it had on it was the popular equipment group 1 (rear bumper guard, cargo tray, and splash guards) I didn’t need this option, as the car had everything else I wanted on it, it was the only one they had in stock, in the color I wanted, and I didn’t want to wait for one without this minor option, which they threw in, if I was willing to purchase the car right then. I went through an online quote
 
Invoice $20,922.00
Doc fee 58.48
State Lic. 15.00

County Tax 157.35

THis is a manual, with privacy glass (only option, I think). I want to try for $16, 400 out door, including full tank of gas. Am I crazy?
 
Do Portland cars pass CA emissions? Maybe I should come up there? Any dealer suggestions?
 
Thank you for responding.

Privacy glass in this case would be aftermarket tint film. Make sure it's well applied, and not peeling at the corners. Tint still isn't available on Foresters, even today.

Fair Price for LL Bean? by lou16

Is $24,555 (including destination) a fair/good/bad price for a new LL Bean Forester? That does not include the $225 processing, & tags & taxes. That is about $1,000 below invoice.
 
thanks in advance

I see 24317 at fitzmall.com, and their processing fee is $99.
 
However, depends on the region. If you're in Alaska, that price is phenomenal. Depends on local supply/demand.

Thanks! That was helpful. I am in the NoVa area - sounds like fitzmall would be a good benchmark price then since they are local to me.
 
thanks again for the input.
