#596 of 2763 Re: Another quote--LLBEAN at $22,450 [dognut] by once_for_all Mar 15, 2005 (8:59 am)
Replying to: dognut (Mar 15, 2005 8:27 am) you guys are getting smoking deals. My '03 XS MT(new model year) with an $800 extended warranty was $22.8 before taxes. It had some added features (armrest, air filtration, tweeters, rear bumper, rubber mats, chrome exhaust) but if 2 years later the price is $1,000 less I would say these are bargains.   John
#597 of 2763 Forester X @ Invoice by bluewolf Mar 17, 2005 (8:56 am)
Local dealer will do Invoice minus $1700 rebate over the phone. I see some people get deals below invoice and that the X is a loss leader. Is there a good chance if I actually go to the dealer in person he will drop a few hundred below invoice?   The Forester is one of those rare cars I just can't find anything negative about - everybody seems to love theirs!   Good to know about the climate control being problematic. I would like 4 wheel disc brakes and heated seats, but I'm not sure it's worth another $1800 over the X model.

Replying to: bluewolf (Mar 17, 2005 8:56 am) yep, they are great cars.   Wait til you see the slotted "umbrella" storage in the back. Works great for a 24" chain pipe wrench that doesn't fit in my tool box.   Last tank of gas 28.4 mpg.   John Replies to this message: ateixeira (Mar 17, 2005 10:14 am)

Replying to: bluewolf (Mar 17, 2005 8:56 am) its more than heated seats and 4 wheel discs. The alloys are super! easy to clean, and they don't break ur back during rotation. The 6 cd/cassette is useful.   I didn't want the package either at the time, but I have greatly enjoyed the heated seats so it was money well spent IMO. Resale value should be $500 to $1,000 more for the XS.   John
#601 of 2763 Lookin for fair SE dealer by groovinpinky Mar 17, 2005 (5:06 pm)
Hello all, I am planning to buy my first Subaru next weekend. I feel confident I have done my research on the cost, and am looking forward to zooming around in a Forester with my dog. However, looking through these posts I am noticing not many individuals from the South, or at least I have seen no mention. Could someone help with suggestion of a fair dealer in the SE region? Preferrably, TN., MS., or LA. Thanks! Replies to this message: p0926 (Mar 18, 2005 7:50 am)

Replying to: groovinpinky (Mar 17, 2005 5:06 pm) My suggestion, go to Fitzmall and find a Forester equipped the way you like and print off their price (Edmunds TMV is also a valuable source). Then use Subaru's dealer locator to find one near you. Go to the dealer and ask if they will meet the Fitzmall price (or at least come relatively close). If so, I'd say you're getting a good deal. FYI, there's a couple of good dealerships in Atlanta if you can't find one locally to give you a decent deal.   -Frank

bought my new 04 xt in june of last year for 22500, cd player etc. what a car... haven't had so much fun since my 65 gto when i was in high school. have only put 9000 thousand miles on it but boy were they fun. i love blowing the youngsters away in their mustangs, then rolling down my tinted windows to reveal a 53 year old greying hippie saying "not bad for a 4 cly. stationwagon" with a smile and a smirk. and now that i found a performance pack i'm going to try for the 345 hp option. up in smoke is going to take on a new meaning.......HOUSTONE, TEXAS
#605 of 2763 Take the plunge now or later? by ltrutter Mar 26, 2005 (8:17 am)
I test drove the Forester X & it appears to be a winner.   Looks like the incentive will expire at the end of this month(March). Does anyone know if it will be offered again in April?   Also, our insurance company gave us a quote of $20 per year discount if we include the anti-theft system in it. I certainly hope it doesn't mean that the Forester gets stolen often, does it? If I want that option, can the dealer install it or does a dealer have to locate a vehicle with that option installed?   -Larry Replies to this message: p0926 (Mar 28, 2005 9:55 am) ltrutter (Mar 29, 2005 3:06 am)
