Greetings all, After owning Honda's for the last few years we are thinking of adding a Subaru Forester to the fold and had a few questions that I hope the forum can shed some light on. We are looking into getting a white X-Limited with some common options (splash guard, bumper guard) and our local Southern California dealer is offering $500 under their invoice for a 2009 and 7/70000 warranty for $990 and the vehicle is at another dealership. If I go with a 2010 custom ordered it looks like it is at the invoice price (I heard the prices have gone up $350, confirmation anyone?). IMHO I am leaning on getting the 2010 but then again $850 dollar savings is not bad in my pocket if the models are the same and the 2010s seem to be in or coming in very soon (well at least they are listed in their inventory). My question is should I push for more discount on the 2009 even though they don't have exactly what I want there or start dealing with the other dealers in the area. To date the local person has been nice to deal with. I looked over the fitzmall link and was seeing ALOT of discounted prices there and thinking that I should be able to push a bit harder. Thanks for any help/feedback you can provide.

If you keep your cars forever and basically run then in to the ground, that becomes less significant, so get the better deal now. There is very, very little change from 2009 to 2010. |

I'm curious if many low-mileage, used 09 Foresters will hit the market later this summer/fall. Is it reasonable to think they'll be out there? (Just trying to compare new vs. slightly used.)

Replying to: goldy74 (Jun 08, 2009 8:29 am) You'll probably find a few but not many. Demand for the 09 Forester was brisk so they probably got as many as they could to dealer to sell. I think we'll start seeing more after 2 years, due to the 24 month lease returns. |
