#2373 of 2508 Re: in the midst of negotiation, reassurance needed [bigdog1157] by avenger59 Dec 10, 2008 (3:06 pm)
Replying to: bigdog1157 (Jul 19, 2008 10:41 pm) I am currently doing the same thing. I think that the price you got is high. I am looking for the same model and package and a dealer in NE PA. offered a price of $340, with the tax built-in $0 down, first month free, includes 15k miles/year and 36 mo. lease.

Replying to: capitano (Nov 24, 2008 9:45 am) I bought from Heuberger - instate. That $17.20 is the CO rate.   Also, be sure to check the date of purchase with your insurance company, Subaru, etc. I found they put down on some paper work that I nevr saw, that they sent to the state, that I bought the car 2 weeks before I even saw it. This could affect your length of warranty (if something happens in that 2 week period), insurance cost for the year, etc, if you don't rectify it.   Subaru corrected the date after I sent them copies of my sales receipt.   I only just found out the insurance company has overcharged me due to this same error, even though I told them the date it was delivered when I requested the insurance. So I have to ask them for more money back.   The DMV would have had the same issue, except the dates were within the same month, so it didn't affect what I had to actually pay, (my fees were significantly more than the $50 mentioned here), You pay for the full month no matter what day you register it on, in my county that is.

Replying to: andiron (Dec 10, 2008 12:00 pm) I'm not up to speed on current prices, but I got a similar configuration for about $21k about 6 months ago. I've found location matters on pricing, so if you are in say NYC, your price might be good. With the economy the way it is...I would like to suggest you have a lot of negotiating room. Just don't walk in feeling like you "have" to make a deal. Good luck.   Re: fog lights They are, if designed correctly not too bright as a really bright light just reflect off all the water vapor in the air. Think about what happens when you turn on your high beams in the fog.   The lights on the Forester are a bit short (especially the low beams) so you are right to be concerned. Will you be using the high beams when looking for deer? Replies to this message: andiron (Dec 12, 2008 5:55 am) andiron (Dec 12, 2008 10:56 pm) sgloon (Dec 31, 2008 7:40 pm)

Replying to: sgloon (Dec 12, 2008 2:10 am) Thank you for the reply. Most likely you will be reading this after I am out the door and in the process. I'm inclined to go with the fog lamps....my wife doesn't seem to care....but if the lights are a bit short perhaps they will fill in well? The 21K price tage is very interesting. It looks like Fitzmall has a semi-similar Premium listed at 22,700 internet price. I also remember an internet special at one dealer of 21,500 back in Oct....but that was when Subaru was offering a rebate. Based on CR pricing I can't see us doing better than right around 22,500 + destination charge and TT&L. Perhaps I'm a lamb going to slaughter on this if it's actually possible to get it for less? Oh well...gonna do our best to find out. Replies to this message: andiron (Dec 12, 2008 10:56 pm) sgloon (Dec 31, 2008 7:40 pm)

Replying to: andiron (Dec 12, 2008 5:55 am) Okay...we got the Subaru Forester Premium Package with Puddle Lights, auto dimming rear-view mirror/compass., splash guards, all weather mats, rear bumper protector, cargo tray, rear cargo cover and ipod interface for $22,995 + TT&L. We didn't care about the puddle lights or mirror...but they were already on board. The rear cargo cover was already on board. They added the rest via dealer install. I think this is a very good price...yes? If not...lie to me! We wanted a good deal while being fair to the dealer. Replies to this message: sgloon (Dec 31, 2008 7:40 pm)
#2378 of 2508 2009 Forester 2.5X Premium + AWP by slimak Dec 13, 2008 (9:08 pm)
Despite the many bad reviews of Schaumburg Subaru I went to check out the 2009 Forester. My experience was fine as Schaumburg Subaru, sales and financing people were very reasonable, at least the ones I dealt with. Maybe people only post reviews of bad experiences. Anyway I ended up with:   Premium + AWP Auto Dim Mirror Puddle Lights All weather mats Popular package 1A   Price seemed reasonable at $22,451, well below the invoice price of$23,609 (and MSRP of 25,492). Doc ($150), and plate transfer ($80) were standard for Chicago area. Taxes (7.25%) brought the total to $24,504. Replies to this message: andiron (Dec 14, 2008 7:33 am)

Replying to: slimak (Dec 13, 2008 9:08 pm) I'd say you did very well! We just got the same vehicle (see post just before your last one) for $24,673. We paid $171 the day before here in Texas...and our tax rate is lower at 6.25%....tags are $77. Not only this....but we did not get the AWP! BUT...we did get the cargo cover and ipod interface. It's an awesome vehicle...we were all grins taking turns bringing it home!

#2382 of 2508 Re: Purchase a Loaner Car?? [homefry] by godwheel Dec 23, 2008 (4:22 pm)
Replying to: homefry (Dec 10, 2008 6:54 am) I wouldn't do it. I did this for my last purchase and compared to my other IDENTICAL car (bought 2 identical except one was a loaner), the one that was not has had zero problems. The loaner, 3 problems (ac/transmission sensors/fuel system). Not to mention the warranty starts the day the car was started being used NOT the day I bought the car (I was told at the dealer it had full warranty 10/100 -- lies.   Don't fall for that.
