The $850 almost pays for the warranty, and the 2010 modell didn't get any significant changes any way.
 
Go for the 2009 - if you can find what color and options you like, at least.

Doing a bit more research it appears the price didn't increase $350 (at least not for the X-Limited) so the savings would be $500. The 2010 X-Limited now has hands-free Bluetooth included and I am guessing that the price for the warranty is for the $100 deductible option (need to check if this is the case and if so is it per item or per visit). While we keep our cars for a long time might be wiser to get the 2010 exactly the way we want and not have to deal with a year of added depreciation.

Yeah, now you've cut the savings in half, and if they don't have exactly what you want on an 09....the 2010 makes more sense.
 
I can relate - we factory ordered our 2009 to get exactly what we wanted, down to the color and options.

2010 Foresters to start arriving next week by 204meca

Not a lot to get excited about, but accord to Joe Cars101 the 2010 Foresters will start coming in next week. No real deals on 09s yet. Maybe in July or August. If no $2K cash back or 0% financing, there is not much incentive to purchase an 09.

I doubt there will be - they've been selling briskly even in this crisis.

How long do you keep your cars?
 
If you trade after less than, say, 5 years or so, the 2010's residual will be better, and that becomes significant.
 
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.

Used 09 Forester Availability by goldy74

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.)

A year after the intro most of those will likely be program cars, i.e. the press fleet, loaners for SoA executives, etc.
 
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.

Pricing on 09 Limited model by acurashopper
Jun 08, 2009 (4:43 pm)

Out of all the small/mid-sized SUVs I test drove (including the Acura RDX), I liked the Subaru Forester best. Trying to get an idea as to what the actual price would be on the Limited model. MSRP is 27-29k. I understand there is a 2k rebate on some models right now, but not the Forester. Does Surbaru offer extra incentives to cash purchasers? (Acura dealer doesn't - guess they make more $$ on financing everyone).
 
Should I buy vehicle with nav system/sat radio or have it done as aftermarket?
 
Thanks.
