I'm about to buy an XS LL Bean Forester. I just got a quote from Coleman Subaru in Trenton, NJ today for $22486 for a car equipped with: armrest extension cargo bin cargo net woofer/amplifier tweeter rubber floor mats includes destination charge This of course excludes, tax, title, etc. The offer was almost $1300 less than other offers I got (even when you compare them all with rebates taken into account). How does this sound? I sent a price quote request to over 18 dealers using the Fax Attack technique from fightingchance.com and have to make a decision tomorrow. It looks good to me! Any input would be great. Thanks.

My wife and I are giving some thought to replacing her 95 Impreza this year. She is trying to decide between buying another Impreza or switching to a Forester. Her car is running fine, so we are not under any pressure to get a new car, but she would like a new one after 10 years and is interested in having a safer car. Given that we are under no pressure, what are other poster's opinions as to the best time to buy? Are the Subaru incentives apt to increase later in the year? Selection is good right now, which is to our advantage. Thanks for the feedback. David

Sounds good for the very well equipped Beaner. David: based on price alone, the best time to buy is the month before a new model arrives. You still have some selection, but the incentives are in full swing. To be honest, I doubt the Forester will get more than the $2000 on the hood it has now, so if you choose that I'd say go for it now. -juice |

Replying to: ch-ch-ch-chia (Feb 04, 2005 4:41 pm) I got my 2004 X(brand spankin NEW)yesterday. I was looking at Baja's (20,995 about best deal) could maybe go another five hundred. Forget used with the present interest rates. Well, I found a deal I couldn't refuse. They were desperate to get rid of a 2004 X model with a stick. Invoice was 19,700. I got it for 18,959. Yee Ha!. Nailed down a good down payment as I didn't have to get a new clutch (and linkage problems), timing chain and tires (wear marks showing 75K) for a total of about 15K costs for my 99 Outback Sport with 147K miles with a bent front quarter panel also driven hard and put away wet but a wonderful wonderful auto. So, let's see, I had around 1,500 bucks staring me (NOW) in the face on the Outback Sport, they gave me 2,200 on it (It probably under optimum conditions had a 3,200 trade in-mine not optimum). So I figure I got around 3,700 in "real" value trade in. My favorite color is the dark forest green with the tan interior (beige). And a five speed. If I was going to custom order one, this would have been it. So much for the Baja. bye bye... And there is NOT MUCH Difference between an 04 and 05. This is the second best deal I ever got on a car. And a 250 a month payment... Good deal??? |

'06 is the face-lift; your 04 was a deal, yes. -juice |

automatic with cargo tray/armrest ext/splash guard/mirror w/homelink/rear bumper cover/all weather mats. List 29429, got it for 24800+TTL. That's more than 2k below invoice. Not much bargaining needed, I test drove almost everything there made by Subaru except STI. Salesman was very knowledgeable. He mentioned the B9 base will start at 30k, and the 3rd row seat is definitely not for adult I found that the TMV of Edmunds and Carsdirect were a bit off. Been looking to get an Outback XTLTD 5EAT, just can't justify spending 4k more for an Outback. For performance, Legacy GT is the choice; for functional and bang for the buck, FXT is the answer, at least for me. Thank you all Pete |

Hi - I am in the middle of a deal to order a new 2005 XT from my dealer. He says he'll order me one however I want and it will arrive in mid-April. And if the rebates are not there - then he will refund my money and I can walk away. I am seriously considering this. I think I want a white one but there are none to be had around here (St Louis area) and he could not find any within a 7 state area! He said white is the most popular. Anyways - to get to my question. Can I get some feedback from this forum on colors? I am considering white or silver. I currently have a silver car and I love the way it hides the dirt. Does white show or hide dirt? And having not seen a "real" white one - its tough for me to know for sure how great the Forester looks in white? I think it would look sharp in white with the XT's black interior. Any and all comments sure would be appreciated! Thanks!

I have a white Miata, and I would not recommend that color. It stains too easily, a simple leaf falling on the car when it's wet causes a tea stain. Pollen looks yellow. The only time it's good is when there is snow/salt on the road, and even then only the first day. Go for silver if you want low maintenance. -juice |
