#682 of 2763 Re: forester xt [lawkim] by gomps May 26, 2005 (5:58 pm)
Replying to: lawkim (May 10, 2005 6:40 pm) Did you mean that the $23K included the rebate? If so that sounds good, $417 over invoice right? How did it turn out? I am in San Diego and just starting to talk with dealers. So far I got a quote way over MSRP and someone ignoring what I asked for (a quote for the XT man. and XT automatic) and quoting me for a fully loaded XT automatic premium package. I'm wondering if the dealers will quote high because thay figure the buyer is in danger of losing the rebate on June 2nd? I'll keep you updated...
#683 of 2763 follow-up on quotes by gomps May 27, 2005 (3:21 am)
I am in San Diego. I am getting quotes like this;   XT man with rear bumper cover, splash guards, cargo tray & auto dimming mirror/ compass with homelink and security system upgrade (I don't know how much these extras would add to it) for $23846 w. rebate.   XT man no extras $23 990 w. rebate.   XT auto PP includes cargo tray, bumper cover, splash guards, auto dimming mirror/compass , securtiy system upgrade for $25477 w. rebate.   XT auto PP no extras $25490 w. rebate   All these quotes include the rebate so they all seem a high to me.    Also, does anyone know what a fleet discount (when dealing with the fleet manager through a credit union) would normally be? These quotes have that discount.   I get the feeling that the rebate is meaningless here. The dealer just quotes what they want to get after the rebate.

#685 of 2763 '06 arrival? by bluewolf Jun 02, 2005 (8:22 am)
When does the facelifted '06 Forester get here?   Anybody know if rebates got better for June? I'd think with the '06's arriving they'd need to clear out the existing body style Foresters...

Probably in about a month. I got to drive one and was impressed, NVH control is even better.   05s are already a bargain and I'm cheap so I'd buy now.   -juice

#690 of 2763 Dealer Installed Leather and Side Airbags by jdhuck Jun 07, 2005 (7:52 am)
Perhaps someone has some insight in dealing with this.   I have a 2005 Subaru Forester XT with AT. The dealer sold me the leather package for $980 dollars. I asked at time of purchase whether or not this would keep the side airbags from deploying and the answer from the dealership was "No, of course not." After reading the owners manual it says to never place anything over the side airbags. I looked closely at my seats and I was amazed at what I found. First of all there is no badging for the Side Airbags. Secondly the Leather Seats are ZIP ON seat covers (Is this standard practice?). There is no way for the airbag to deploy. I could remove the seat covers in about two minutes if I tried. The old cloth underneath has been removed from the seat back. Has anyone ever heard of this? Subaru told me that (I called the Customer Support line) if it does not have the SRS Badging, then it isn't their product and they view it as an aftermarket product and this would void my warranty if anything happened to the SRS system. Furthermore I was told that if I were in a wreck and the Side airbags did not deploy, then they could not be held responsible. I   Thoughts, Ideas or insight?   Much Appreciated< Jdhuck Replies to this message: jdhuck (Jun 07, 2005 8:41 am)

Replying to: jdhuck (Jun 07, 2005 7:52 am) One other thing:   Where is the Subwoofer in the XT? I can not find it anywhere? It is not under the seats or anywhere else that I can find. I used to install stereos and speakers so I usually have a good grasp on these things.   Thanks....   BTW, I got my car at Royal Subaru in Deacatur, GA. I got a great deal at $21,000 + 980 for the leather seats.
