#327 of 2314 DOH! The break-in period! by subewannabe Jun 04, 2004 (6:06 pm)
I'm trying real hard to behave , but Ive already pushed the tach over 5000 a couple times passing slow-movers on two lanes. Wow! Is that fun!   Its way cool to hang out a Subaru dealership these days. The new Legacy and Outback are nice and crawling around a 2005 STi is pretty entertaining, too..but I love the FXT!   Mark
#328 of 2314 thanks all, I got off the fence :) by alyosha73 Jun 07, 2004 (5:33 pm)
Cayenne Red FXT PP for $1200 under invoice, still listed on fitzmall.com, but it is sold Fitzmall.com folks are owesome so far. As I understand they give almost all of dealer holdback and currently $500 dealer cash, 1.9% financing for 60 months. The car comes with 85 miles on it, so guess thats the catch- someone testdrove it for too long  I dont know why this color is very underappreciated.

Replying to: alyosha73 (Jun 07, 2004 5:33 pm) Congratulations!   I like the Cayenne Red color. The photo in the 2004 brochure is gorgeous!

Congrats, might have been me that test drove it! That was a while ago but it was red. Don't worry, I didn't redline it, but I did *love* it!   -juice Replies to this message: alyosha73 (Jun 10, 2004 5:33 pm)

Replying to: alyosha73 (Jun 07, 2004 5:33 pm) Congratulations! FYI I don't think 85 miles on the odo is excessive, that's only 3 or 4 good test drives.   -Frank P
#333 of 2314 04 Subaru Forester XS Premium by kittikin Jun 08, 2004 (4:23 pm)
I'm seriously thinking of buying the XS premium (gotta have the moonroof!) 5-speed and would like to hear from others who already have this vehicle ... what do y'all think about it?   Also, I've heard it's best to buy closer to the end of the year, but Houston isn't a big Subaru town and XS premiums/5-speed seem to be limited ... but I've been quoted a couple of prices and would like to know if these quotes are in the ballpark of other dealers. One dealership quoted $22,999 (total drive-away = $24674.24); the other $22,997 (no word yet on TT&L).   Any comments?

Replying to: kittikin (Jun 08, 2004 4:23 pm) If the $23k is counting the dest. fee then I'd say you're getting a good deal. That's $700 below invoice and if it includes any options it's an even better deal.   -Frank P

Replying to: kittikin (Jun 08, 2004 4:23 pm) I LOVED my manual '01 Forester S Premium with moon roof. I LOVE my automatic '04 Forester XT without the moon roof *sniff*. I recommend getting the moonroof - especially if you've ever had one before. I also prefer an automatic Subaru over the manual transmissions for reasons I've posted earlier in the year and many others have noted as well(particularly the weak first gear synchros and popping noises from the rear when shifting - I was a victim of both). Also recommend the digital compass and auto dimming rear-view. You may not THINK you want that now, but if you get it, it will be your favorite feature! I have trouble driving any other car now because I want to know what direction I'm going. Personally, I like the summertime for buying new cars. Subaru, like other car makers, are rolling out the '05's and wanting to get rid of the '04's so may be more willing to negotiate and offer better deals. Good luck! -elissa

Good deal, go for it.   I have a '98 and I'm on the original clutch, brake pads, you name it. Never failed me once in 63k miles. Zero out of pocket for repairs, zilch.   -juice
