Replying to: samirataustin (May 13, 2008 6:35 pm) That bracket ranges from 699-660. You can see which credit scores qualify for which rates here: lhttp://www.cars101.com/subaru/rebates.html#rates |

Didn't really see any viable competition in this class for the features that were important to us. I wanted to like the CRV and RAV4 based on the reviews, but didn't even bother to test drive them after seeing their poor rearward visibility. |

Replying to: pgb0517 (May 13, 2008 1:17 pm) If all the numbers hold true, and the dealer said that he stood by this numbers, then I'll be reporting on a new subaru forester this weekend. Side Note: With the price of gas what are you all experiencing? I have seen 26 avg. and 28 avg. but I didn't know. Thanks. |

Replying to: slaterac (May 13, 2008 10:17 am) Usually all the cars available at dealers' lots have some extras. Dimming mirror, or spash guard, or something else. Usually between $500 and $1000 worth of extras. If you want a car from the lot, you have to take it with those extras, no matter if you want them or not, but you can configure the car with the same extras in Edmunds to compare the MSRP and invoice price, and see if the dealer is offering you a good price. For everyone asking if the price they got is a good deal, I would advice them to check what other people is getting in the same market. It is really better to compare the price to what other dealers can offer in your area, so ask for prices around and see what price they give you. Even if you are convinced to buy the car at the dealer next to your house, you can use the price from a dealer 100 miles away to compare, and to negotiate. But keep in mind the prices can be completely different in 2 different cities, and still both be a good deal. Personally, I think a bad deal is one close to MSRP, and when it is around the invoice price, it is not too bad. From there, you have to look for the lowest you can get. It seems some people is getting them at invoice, and some people is getting them way below invoice. So configure the car with the exact options the dealer is offering you at edmunds, and print the invoice price, and try to get the price below it  When I finally decide if I buy the Forester, I will let you know at what price. Maybe I take the decission this week. |
