#2376 of 2508 Re: 09 Forester - Time Crunch [sgloon] by andiron Dec 12, 2008 (5:55 am)
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.

Replying to: godwheel (Dec 23, 2008 4:22 pm) I agree, it would be like buying a mattress from a motel. Those cars get used every day by a different person who really doesn't care about the car.   Not as bad as a rental, then again maybe it is.   I would expect to pay at least 10% less than a new one, maybe even 20%.   Thing is, you can get a deal on a new one, so I wouldn't bother with the loaner.

Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 24, 2008 10:15 am) I totally agree. Unless they knock a lot more off the price, don't do it.
#2385 of 2508 2009 Forester 2.5X Premium by driverboy Dec 27, 2008 (7:56 pm)
I am getting the following quote in SF bay area for 2.5X with Premium and All weather package.   MSRP: 25309 Sell Price: 22809   Lease is $286 per month including CA tax with $1291 due at signing (includes first month + lease acq fees + DMV fees)   Residual is 62% and MF is 0.00175 for 36/12 terms   Seems like a decent deal. Comments?   A little off-topic but the 2.5X does feel quite sluggish to me. I wonder how it will handle in the mountains (Lake Tahoe in my case) during the ski season...
