Sounds good... the red Bean would be my 1st choice as well. Let us know what dealer you went through. Can't list salespeople's names, but dealership's OK.

Planet Subaru is the dealership.
 
Goofy name.
Horrendous dealer badge/insignia.
 
Excellent internet customer service and freebie warranty incentives.
 
edit: www.planetsubaru.com In case there's more than one out there.

It's not a bad deal, but I'm sure it can be beaten. E-mail the internet sales dept at Carter Subaru (N. Seattle) with the exact model you want (you can view their inventory online) and they'll send you a no-haggle take-it-or-leave-it offer. Great to work with. Also heard of good deals from Chaplin's Eastside through online sales.

Make you calculations.
 
MSRP of equivalent limited (LLbean) is approx 6-7 K more in Canada, but:
 
You have to pay 6.1% duty upon import.
You have to pay cash (if you have it, good, if you don't, you need to finance and take into account Subaru of Canada rates and promotions)
You have to buy, no lease
You have to pay docs, plus traveling to US.
You have to pay inspection
You can't trade in you car, nor can you apply graduate rebate.
Warranty is honored, but you need to pay upfront.
Resale value 'might' be lower in Canada.
 
Since the 2009 canadian prices were reduced by 1500-4000$, you need to make sure it is still worth it to buy US. In most cases, I think it still does but it is much less worth it than in 2008. Let's say they adjusted prices up to the point where you ask yourself if you should still go for it. Marketing strategy...

Good choice, I believe our test drive was in the same color, except it has a leather interior.
 
The roof rails and grille blend in well with that color.
 
Congrats again.
