I've settled on the '09 LL Bean model as the one that fits what my wife and I are looking for - I've test driven and researched about a dozen cars and small SUV's and the Forester is the right mix of all the must have items for upstate NY - awd, great safety rating, decent mpg, heated seats, room for kids/cargo, etc. However, I am not sure our local dealer is giving us good price quotes - I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts. Here's what we're being offered: LLBean with some basic options like all weather floor mats, aero cross bars, side molding, and a few other minor extras, purchase price $26,306. Lease quote is 42 months (?) and 15,000 miles w/$0 down, $439 month. Purchase quotes are 48 mos/$669 month and 63 months (another ?) for $529 month. Any thoughts on the lease quote. The residual is  $14,500 (don't have exact #) and I have not been told the money factor but it has to be around 7.2% rate. Thanks for any input, help, etc. I want to buy the car, but am not sure about those rates & prices.

Replying to: jverrico (May 12, 2008 3:26 pm) I just wanted to give you the latest information and see what you thought about this. The dealer that I might go see tonight, otherwise this weekend, is offering 1% over invoice, a good trade in value as long as the car is in fair condition (which it is), and a $250 gas card as well as a good finance rate for qualified buyers, I'm hoping we fit that because I don't know what exactly that means. What do you all think? I can get the Limited edition (that was the LL Bean before the name change) for under $26,000 and I've told him that if he gives me what we want for the trade in then we will get the Limited edition. Thanks for all your comments. I'll check back in a little bit as I have a meeting to attend.

Also, The deal I was getting was after the trade in. They really wanted 25k+ for the car and I said no. So they really wanted $2000 more. Look at my last post and tell me what you think of that deal. They are going to give me the papers and show me the invoice price of the car and add 1%. Thanks again for all your help. |

Replying to: sgloon (May 10, 2008 8:50 pm) Thank you for all your responses. I talked to an internet dealer about 40 miles away and he gave me the offer I posted before. He said he doesn't play any games because he realizes that I'm not a person that would just walk onto the lot since I live 40 miles away. Let me know what you think of that deal.
