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 2745 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 2745 Re: [ateixeira #331] thanks for getting the price down for me :) by alyosha73 Jun 10, 2004 (4:33 pm)

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)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 14, 2004 6:55 am) Yes, thats what I did, made them to fax me a letter, stating that the taxes are paid and just indicated in the line for tags. I did figure how to get around it, but didnt want to be PITA - all they had to do is calculate appropriate percantage, which corresponded to the total of $300, like 1.2% for 25000 car

We just signed the papers for our 04 Forester last night. We are thrilled with the car and the price we got, but I'm feeling the way I did after we bought our house- like I've signed my life away (we haven't bought a new car in 11 years so it was like the first time all over again). What bothered me was that some of the forms we signed were not completely filled in. When we questioned it the guy said that it was just the way it was done, in order to save time. We accepted that explanation but now I am worried. Is this typical?? The form that detailed the price of the car (and tax, tags, etc) was complete and correct when we signed. Thanks.

That's the one that counts. Dealers want you to be happy so you give them good scores on the survey. Hold on to that survey for a month or so when you get it, just to be sure.   If they do start hassling you, mention the survey...   -juice
