I like the Newport Blue; my three favorites are camellia red, newport blue, and sage green (in that order).
 
Unfortunately, because we wanted the black interior, we were limited to either the Paprika, Silver, or Black. 2009 models with Premium, AWP, and manual were nary to be had within reasonable distance (2500 miles) from Alaska. I could have purchased a camellia red '09 premium if i wanted to drive 4500 miles.....

The Paprika color actually isn't that far from Camelia Red. A little lighter, a little less red/more orange, but still nice.

Yeah, it has grown on me. I really like it, but still not as much as the deeper shades.

Don't go too dark - my Miata is a very dark blue with a clearcoat and it shows EVERY little scratch.

Well, that's why neither of us are very fond of black. You saw all the dirt on the car in that tire photo I posted; I have only had the car two weeks! Dirty is a perpetual state of existence for a vehicle in these parts....
 
Subaru is offering a very nice array of colors on the Forester. Unfortunately, there is just no variety of interior colors to match. If you want one color, you end up with the interior they choose.

I agree, the leather is really nice. It's a tough decision, but I think I can't really go wrong either way.
 
In terms of colors, I like the Newport Blue, the Sage Green, and the Camellia Red the best, though the Paprika Red and Dark Gray are awfully sharp too. In any case, the blue catches my eye every time. My current car is sage green. I love the color, but it's time for a change.

Value of 2004 Forester by gretsch1943

I am currently looking at the 2010 Legacy and would rather sell my 2004 Forester rather than trade it in. Any ideas on a selling price? It has 48,000 miles, automatic transmission, well maintained, always garaged.
 
Thanks,

Might want to post that under the smart shopper board, sub category real world trade in values.

At the bottom read where it asks for all the details, including model, transmission type, color, location, etc. All those things affect values.
 
They will tell you the dealer's auction value. You might get less on a trade if the dealer doesn't think they can put a 2004 model on their lot. You can get more selling it yourself. But it does give you a solid reference of what 04 Forester are selling for at auction right now.
 
I'm guessing it'll be around $10 grand or so.
