Out-of-state residents still have to pay sales tax on vehicles even though they purchase in OR.

Congrats, firstsub! PZEV increases the invoice, so it's more the dealer has to pay when they purchase from Subaru of America.
 
Is Yokohama replacing free of charge? Let us know how the new tires affect the ride/sound levels.

Spoke with Yokohama & they will replace through authorized dealer with tires of comprable price and pay for mounting & balancing. I'm not crazy about Yokohama but there is nothing I can do except pay for a new set of tires my self.. No one has any specs on this tire. neither Yokohama America, tirerack or Subaru.. too new. Called subaru and they are following my case. They seem interested to help & find out comments about the new Forester. Will adivse

Congratulations on your new Subaru. We bought our last two Subes at Kolb and have been very satisfied with them, both with the sales and service departments. Stick around these boards for lots of Subaru info and insight. Best of luck with your new ride.

I agree, it can be a good thing to be left alone at a car lot. I sometimes cruise them after hours for that reason, but if your a woman, you get a different take on the experience.
 
What about the lemon law?
I was told by a dealer that it only applies if I buy in WA and would not apply if I buy in OR.

You know I hate SUV's but for some reason the 2009 forester is nice. Anyhow, is all the hype about waiting till the end of the month valid to get a good deal on a new car. I'd hate to wait till the end of may. I need a new car! The only option I need is the hitch bike rack. I wonder if that is removable.

Well the bike rack obviously is but not the hitch. However, the hitch is just a receiver which doesn't protrude from under the bumper so it's not all that noticeable.

Seems to be true:

Bought a 2009 Subaru Forester L.L. Bean by skibum1026

Went in to buy a limited legacy for $800 under invoice plus the $1,000 rebate. They did not have the color we wanted so we ended up picking out a black on black L.L. Bean Forester. We paid $25,300, so $300 over invoice which we didn't think was too bad. We added the bumper to bumper subaru gold plus plan to 100k miles and 5 yrs for an additional $900. We paid 7% sales tax here in Illinois. Sounds stupid, but we like the little up to date details like the blue accented instrument cluster and the blue lights in the rear cup holders. Car drives great, and impressed with the quality. And the sunroof is awesome! Its huge. Gerald Subaru in North Aurora took care of us pretty well and the car came with a free lifetime powertrain warranty good anywhere in the country, $100 deductible at no extra cost to us. The one thing I don't get, why are Subaru's services at 30k, 60k so expensive!?

Congrats! Sounds nice. I was looking at the '08 Legacy Limited a couple weeks ago and it seems to be getting harder to find... phasing out to bring in the '09s soon. One nice touch I liked when I checked out the new Forester was the extra hooks higher up in the cargo area... great if you need to bring something home from the drycleaners or have one of those giant plastic shopping bags. Gotta love that roof!
