#1593 of 2724 Which yrs. for a used Forester best buy by away2 Jul 21, 2007 (7:24 am)
I like the look and price of the older Forester, 02-04 but wonder if any years stand out more than others for reliability/ problems? I also really like the wood grain on the dash of the 02 and would like any feed back. Replies to this message: slazenger (Jul 21, 2007 8:12 am) kavoom (Jul 23, 2007 2:48 am)

Replying to: away2 (Jul 21, 2007 7:24 am) Considering fit/finish, road noise, reliability, etc... I strongly suggest you to get a 2003 or 2004 Forester.   2001 (and prior) had wheel bearing and head gasket issues. It was not a wide spread problem but a few had these issues. 2002 is reliable but still belongs to first generation. Replies to this message: kavoom (Jul 23, 2007 2:48 am)

#1596 of 2724 Re: Subaru Forester: any advice? by vedika Jul 23, 2007 (6:16 am)
Replying to: KarenS (Jul 28, 2003 8:07 am) I am thrilled! Bought a 2006 LL Bean yesterday! Spent hours on Saturday and 2 hours yesterday to complete the sale but survived and am very happy. When they brought the car up for me we sat in it going over the inside again where things were etc..and off I drove. I drove 4 miles and when I got out of the car I noticed a chip in the window on the passenger side! It was a little star with spokes spreading. It was not there yesterday when I drove it for test drive home...and did not happen on the 4 mile drive home. I would have heard it. I feel sick about it. They told me to come in and they will repair it. It may have happened at the dealer overnight and I didn't see it. any comments...thanks

Been shopping for an 07 Forester X Sport Model Got Price down to $20,000 for an automatic. Is this a good price? Taxes , dest. charges etc have to be added on. 4.9% int Financing for 63 mos. Deal is on til July 31. Should I wait til Aug. for maybe better incentives? I am in Western NY. Opinions anyone? Replies to this message: slazenger (Jul 24, 2007 7:08 pm)

Replying to: sistine (Jul 24, 2007 1:37 pm) Are you sure it doesn't include destination charge? What options does it have? Destination charge is $625. So the car price will be $20625+TTL. There is a $2000 rebate (at least for my zip code). $20,000 including $625 destination charge seems like a fair price.
#1600 of 2724 Anybody has idea why 2008 Forester is cheaper than 2007 by ewu Jul 30, 2007 (4:41 am)
We are interested in a 2007 Forester, it has finance deal now. But I found on edmunds that both the MSRP and invoice price of 2008 model are lower than those of 2007. Not sure if we should go for 2008 instead. Thanks Replies to this message: jeffmc (Jul 30, 2007 5:18 am) ewu (Jul 30, 2007 6:34 am) jeffmc (Jul 30, 2007 9:40 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: ewu (Jul 30, 2007 4:41 am) You must be comparing Premium models. Subaru simply dropped the price on the Premium trim by around $900 for the '08s... invoice for a Premium automatic is $22,726 in '08 and $23,623 in '07. The other trims for '08 are priced similarly from '07. I'd go for the '08 as long as you're getting a good deal on it. You should be able to get invoice minus $500 rebate, minus somewhere in the ballpark of $750-$1200. Say $21k-$21.5k without any options added on.   Are you an Eastern Washington University grad (or are "EWU" your initials)? Have a friend that graduated from there a few years back.

Replying to: jeffmc (Jul 30, 2007 5:18 am) Thank you. I wanna go for 2008. But the dealer give me a pretty good deal on 2007 forester. $21,254 plus tax/doc fee/title/plate/inspection sticker for premium with leather seats/6-cd changer. I am in Masschusetts. This seems pretty good to me. Not sure if it worth to wait several months for 2008.   BTW: I am not from Eastern Washington University, "EWU" is a name the system picked for me.
