I test-drove the 2009, and I liked it very much, but the visibility didn't seem as good as it was in the 2008. I'll take a second look at it, because I would feel more comfortable buying new than used. Thank you both!

The Forester lost a little bit of visibility with the 09 redesign but it's still the best in class

Ordered '09 Forester XT Limited w/nav San Jose,CA by forrest39

We test drove the turbo forester and liked it better than all others we were comparing. (CRV, Santa Fe, Rav, Tiguan). We kept coming back to the CRV but when we floored it... just too anemic.
 
The Forester fit the bill the best but they couldn't find what we wanted in stock. Fortunately, one is on the boat that we want and will be here in a month, so we made a deal.
 
Forester XT Limited w/nav
Steel silver
a few packages that I couldn't find online, but the gist of it is...
Bluetooth
iPod control interface
iPod tray
subwoofer
cargo cover
cargo tray
bumper cover
 
Price & destination: 29,195
 
I'll post again with the final figures when we pick it up.
Cheers!
-Forrest

New incentives? by dj_dave
Nov 05, 2008 (8:54 pm)

Subaru.com is still showing the old incentives for the 2009s (4.9% financing) which expired on 3 November. Is it likely they will roll out new incentives this month, or go for a while without any? Does anyone know what they've done in the past around this time of year?

Those incentives tend to roll over quite a bit. It's been 4.9% since at least July when I started looking at the Forester.

Got My XT Limited at Heuberger on Saturday by capitano

It had mats, all weather mats, the autodimming mirror, rear bumper cover and the luggage compartment cover. Stickered at $29,565. They let it go for $26,180 which was less than the $26,782 they show on their site for the identical model. I never got a straight answer about the price difference, but I wasn't going to push it. I suspect that it may be the difference between pick up at the dealer and delivery to you.
 
The experience was very smooth. They picked me up at the airport. We drove the car, did the paperwork and then waited for the F&I guy. He was friendly and didn't push terribly hard on the mop&glo products. I'd buy from them again.
 
The worst part of the whole experience was the choppy ride on the puddle jumper into Colorado Springs. I was pretty queasy when I got off that plane.

Purchase Prices: VIP Program vs. Negotiated by kkrtrek
Nov 13, 2008 (6:45 pm)

My six month membership in IMBA will allow me to purchase a Forester in January using the VIP Program. Yet it seems as though people are buying for prices that are as good as or better than the VIP pricing. I'd like to know anyone's best estimate of the VIP Program price, relative to invoice, for example. I am likely interested in an X-Limited (not sure of options), so the dealer invoice is $25,261, including destination. What might the VIP price be? For anyone who wants to chime in, what kind of negotiated price did you get that might compare to VIP pricing?
 
Thanks all.

Hi all,
 
I've been a lurker for a couple of months gathering info and I appreciate all the posts!
 
This week I will be taking possession of the '09 Forester to replace my '97 GT Limited which served me well.
 
Steel Silver
 
Moonroof Air Deflector
Subwoofer
Ash Tray
 
25K + t/t
 
Could have had the same with Utility Pkg for 25.6K but personally I don't care for the look with the wheel arch molding.
 
Anyone in SE PA or N Delaware should consider Rafferty Subaru in Newtown Square PA...customer oriented folks who found me the configuration I wanted at, what I think is, a fair price.

Hi All,
 
I am a lurker for a while also. Wondering any folks here would recommend Subaru dealers at Chicago area?
Checked this thread but didn't find a decisive recommendation.
 
Thanks a lot.
