Don't use the refresh button, it creates duplicate posts. Instead, click on "Recent Msgs". I find that price a bit high. Try Van Bortel Subaru, they're in NY and offer no-haggle prices, likely lower than that. Then see if your dealer can match or beat it. -juice

Replying to: sweet_subie (Feb 28, 2005 6:02 pm) Well, I found Van Bortel and they are 8-10 hours away from me. I have learned New York is a very large state, and they are clear across the state from Long Island. A Actually, you can't get too much further from me and still be in NY State. But it is good to have them as a reference point. Perhaps I can call them, they may give a quote on the phone. Anyway, thank you for the info... Here is a problem, all ideas/ comments from all you Subies requested... I have a down payment on the above (overpriced) LL Bean Forester. What is the legality/ feasibility of backing out of the deal? I have several thousand dollar check written on Saturday, I dated it Mon 2/28, the day the promotion was over... Is it too late to renegotiate the price? By the way, is the promotion renewed for March? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Replying to: rxman01 (Mar 01, 2005 2:27 am) I was wondering about options and aftermarket stuff... Anyone have ideas on whether or not the Rear Bumper Cover is a worthwhile add-on? and is it worth the dealer price or should I buy one afterward and install myself? ditto on the Brush Guard and Rear Differential Protector? I see them at good prices at 1st subaru and allsubaru.com I wonder if they are good deals or too much hassle for the bebnefits gained? Thanks Rx

I got my L.L. Bean 05 last week and absolutely love it! I traded in my 96 Mits Eclipse RS after driving it for 8 years. I ended up driving out to Clearwater (Fitz Auto Mall) to get my Subie since there were only 2 Beans to choose from in all of Orlando, and neither was the color I wanted (woodland green). Fitz had the best price and there was no haggling and no pressure. My husband said it's the easiest car purchase he's ever seen. I highly recommend Fitz Mall. I also recommend getting an appraisal on your trade at Carmax first. Fitz offered me more than Carmax sight-unseen since I had gotten an appraisal from Carmax. I also recommend trying to get financing through a credit union. They had the best interest rate and were flexible with payment options. Sometimes if you pay your monthly payment every two weeks instead of monthly you can knock down the original loan term by a few months along with the monthly payment. In a nutshell I paid $24,024 rebate included, excluding tax, tag, title. That price included the following extras: wheel locks cargo tray custom tailpipe cover auto dim mirror/homelink Popular equip. group 3a (armrest extension,rear net) amplifier/subwoofer Total MSRP was $27,660, destination included. I have driven in the rain several times with my Bean and it handles great! I have also used the seatwarmers which is a nice treat for the morning commute. I haven't missed my stick-shift since driving the Bean. This is my first, brand new car! No regrets  I'm getting the windows tinted today and picking up a rear bumper cover. |

Replying to: rxman01 (Mar 05, 2005 5:10 am) IMO the "brush guard" is purely cosmetic and looks silly but then I think that everytime I see a brush guard on any SUV in an urban/sububan setting. The rear diffy protector might come in handy if you'll be going any futher off-road than where a gravel road will take you. If you include the optional equipment as part of the total vehicle price, you can usually get invoice price on most options and if so, that will be your best deal. -Frank |

Planning on waiting for the updated 06 this summer. Stopped by a dealer Sun. and saw a 05 LLBean on the lot. Decided to give it a ride. MSRP is $27,000. No extras added. Manager wants to unload and will sell it to me for $22,450. What to do, what to do?????????? Isn't this deal to good to pass up? Or should I wait for what I would really love--a new 06? How much more do you think this would end up costing me? When do you think they will appear on the lots? Thanks for your opinions. |

Usually a new model year will cost about $1500 extra for a while, definitely past the time the current year models are gone. Go for the bargain, the changes seem minor. -juice |

The Subaru web site shows that LL Bean vehicles have a Starting Price more than $32K. How is this one $27K and seling for $22.5K? I would love to buy one for under $25K. Jim |
