Replying to: reydelroble (Apr 28, 2008 12:23 pm)  Though it's the closest one to my home, I've never been a fan of the Marysville dealer (Roy Robinson)... Subaru is relegated to a small portion of their showroom and the folks I've talked too there haven't seemed to be Subaru "experts". Always felt like they'd much rather sell me a Chevy. If they'll match the price and are more convenient for you, might not be bad. And maybe they've improved since I was last there a couple years ago. Who's the Portland dealer, Carr? Ask kurtamaxxguy (2009 Forester thread) where he bought... think it was Salem, OR. He preferred them to Carr and got a good deal.

Replying to: jeffmc (Apr 28, 2008 1:17 pm) I use to live close by and my gal was ignored when she went in to look for a car. Your guess is correct for Portland and I have saved the local chevy/subaru dealer for last as they will probably be my service dept. Another friend has had continued good service on his Forester there. So, do you think $300 under invoice is not good enough on a new model? I haven't seen anyone come close yet. Had a friend buy one through the Costco program last week for $300 over invoice. |

Replying to: reydelroble (Apr 28, 2008 1:41 pm)  Customers should be at least greeted, however. I guess I never said it in my reply, but I think $300 under invoice is great for a new model w/no rebates!

Just bought my first subaru! I was looking for a larger vehicle than my 2006 Altima so I could tote camping gear, kyacks, and take the girls back to college. I 'm in the car for business for 28,000 miles a year so comfort was my first consideration. I felt cramped in the cockpit of both the CRV & the RAV4 with the RAV4 feeling the most cramped. My right knee kept hitting the center console and the cloth seats seemed very hard to me .. I stopped at a Subaru dealer early in the hunt & looked at the 2008 Forester. Looked very spartan to me. Dealer suggested wating until the 2009. Finally test drove the 2009 and loved it. The drivers seat was very comfortable with plenty of room for my legs. I deceided to purchase. However, I am very dissatisfied with the Yokohama G-95 tires. VERY NOISY. I can't stand it. Contacted Yokohama and they are replacing .. I've selected the Yoko AVID H4S. I'm hoping this will quit the ride. Here's my pricing: 2.5X with premium package Aero Bars Rear bumper cover Cargo tray All weather floor mats Cargo net Wheel locks invoice $ 23,155 PZEV paid $ 23,300 not sure if dealer pays for PZEV($200) if so invoice would be $23,255. Shopped by internet.. Came down to 2 dealers.. Bill Kolb JR-Rockland County NY and Libery Suburu- NJ just over GW bridge. Both we're $100 of each other. Bought at Bill Kolb.. Very happy with them . No extras or hidden charges and very professional.. Could have saved $600 at Fitzmall howvever felt I wanted to have a local dealer if I ran into any problems.

Replying to: firstsub (Apr 28, 2008 7:36 pm) Is Yokohama replacing free of charge? Let us know how the new tires affect the ride/sound levels.
