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 4:33 pm)

#333 of 2724 04 Subaru Forester XS Premium by kittikin Jun 08, 2004 (3:23 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 3:23 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 3:23 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

It's good to hear that you all are satisfied Subaru customers! Yes, the price does include an option -- security upgrade. Thanks for all your suggestions/advice!!!
#338 of 2724 anybody esle, who bought from fitzmall.com? I know you are out here :) by alyosha73 Jun 10, 2004 (4:27 pm)
Got a question while filling out their paperwork. I am buying with registration in SC and the tax is capped at $300 for a new car purchase (dont worry , we have property taxes on cars, so it is even steven). However the fine folks at fitzmall.com, claim that their computer is not allowing to put any other number than percent of purchase, so they indicated ZERO in tax and put the $300 in the line for TAGS. I am worried, that my SC DMV might not understand this and ask me to pay taxes again? Am I being paranoid? BTW, 1.9 financing is gone now, but they dropped the prices even more - about 1800 under invoice for XT premium (model 4ck).
#339 of 2724 Re: [ateixeira #331] thanks for getting the price down for me :) by alyosha73 Jun 10, 2004 (4:33 pm)
Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 08, 2004 6:46 am) I dont mind those test drive miles at all, as long as you didnt leave stains on uphosltery from too much loving, wait, it is PP, easy clean up, never mind than

Those prices are TEMPTING, boy oh boy.   Just get it documented, as far as those taxes. Maybe make them put a note in the margins and then sign it?   -juice Replies to this message: alyosha73 (Jun 15, 2004 2:37 pm)
