#1517 of 2219 Re: does it worth to pay for Premium [pbai] by p0926 May 10, 2007 (1:45 pm)
Replying to: pbai (May 10, 2007 8:59 am) That's supply and demand for you. More buyers want the extra features that the premium offers so Subaru doesn't need to give as big an incentive.   If you're looking for basic transport that is safe (best in class safety ratings), dependable (excellent reliability ratings), functional (large cargo volume for its size), agile (AWD) and reasonably well equipped (AC, power windows & locks, etc) then the base Forester is a fantastic value   -Frank

Replying to: pbai (May 10, 2007 8:59 am) FWIW, I went through the same thing last year and ended up getting the X. If I could do it again, I'd get the premium pack; there have been many times I wish I had the sunroof, the heated seats, etc. Limited slip and rear discs are nice upgrades too. It's no fun to be wishing you had something that you don't a year into the purchase. Good luck.

Replying to: tifighter (May 10, 2007 3:34 pm) I had an X and my girlfriend has one. I bought an 07 Premium. The bottom line appears to be that you can get an X Auto for about 19K (yes I know there are better and worse deals).   I was able to get my Premium for 21,970 or thereabouts within a few bucks with a 500 rebate and 500 loyalty discount last Oct. Mine is a manual transmission. So, the roughly 3K difference in price appears to hold as a generalization would be my take, maybe the 32 to 3500 for an auto.   So, any deal that has a less than 3K diff between a base and a Premium would be pretty good. I've seen one deal better than mine so far. Replies to this message: pbai (May 12, 2007 1:53 pm) herhey (May 12, 2007 8:40 pm)

Replying to: kavoom (May 11, 2007 4:14 am) Thanks all for the informitive replies.   It is really a tough decision to make When I went to test drive, I talked with the manger and he can give me manual base X for 18k. So that is no problem to get auto X for <19k. But now, several friends on this board said Preimium worth the money. I kinda seduced. $3200 more for the package and rebate; Plus, most dealer only carry auto premium, so another $750. I will end up ~$4000. so Base X,man = 18k Premium = 22k Replies to this message: herhey (May 12, 2007 8:40 pm)

Replying to: pbai (May 12, 2007 1:53 pm) Right now the dealer incentive is $1500 on all Foresters and the rebate on the Premium is $1000 as stated in earlier posts. That said, you should be able to get a Premium with the manual transmission for around $20566 (invoice $23066) and the automatic is approximately $21293 (Invoice $23793). You can add $211 more to each price if you live in an area of the country that requires the California emissions such as some of the New England states and New York. Pay no more or the dealer is just keeping the factory to dealer incentive.

#1525 of 2219 Good Deal or Possibly Not ? by gsquared May 12, 2007 (1:52 am)
Hello Everyone, I would like to solicit advice from those experienced with the Forester Model. I've narrowed my vehicle of choice to the Subaru Forester. I've an opportunity to purchase a 2003 XS (premium package), 41,000 miles, 2 owners (current being the second), w/ added amenities of sound system, rear window mirror w/compass and adjusting tint, tailpipe cover, cargo net, and running board on back bumper. Sellers are asking $17K +, but may take $15K + (US). All servicing thus far can be validated via receipts, and Carfax returns clean. Not sure if this is something to jump at immediately, or maybe not. All help is greatly appreciated as this will by my first entry into the forester model. Thanks. G.

Replying to: gsquared (May 12, 2007 1:52 am) Given all the discounts and incentives on Foresters right now, I'd go for a brand new, with factory warranty and all. I think even 15K is kinda high for 4-yr old Forester with 41K miles on it.
