#819 of 2297 Re: Just bought mine tonight [cwo4] by desk Sep 29, 2005 (1:59 pm)
Replying to: cwo4 (Sep 27, 2005 5:24 pm) oooh I'm jealous! Hope you enjoy it. I am not unhappy with the deal I got, but apparently lots of you have done better. I paid $23,300 after a trade-in allowance of $4000 on my '98 Forester, but it was out-the-door, tax and tag included. Regardless, I'm very happy with my new L.L. Bean (white).

Tell them you want an out-the-door price, no nonsense, no surprises.   They will add freight, processing fees, blah blah blah and then give you their real price. Then see if that's below Edmunds TMV. If so, go for it!   -juice
#821 of 2297 they claim by andrelaplume Sep 30, 2005 (6:21 am)
20K + tax...not sure how they do it because that is $1500 under invoice and there is only a 1K rebate....we'll see.   Questions:   1) Is rear seat room as bad as it looks? 2) How come no tinted windows? 3) How is rear seat fore aft room? Replies to this message: ateixeira (Sep 30, 2005 7:09 am)

Replying to: andrelaplume (Sep 30, 2005 6:21 am) Rear seat is OK for all but 6' plus folks. You'll usually carry kids back there. I've never had a problem (2 kids, the nanny can squeeze in). In fact, given the choice, I'd want more width for the 3rd person, not leg room. Plus head room is abundant so it doesn't feel cramped.   In other words, it's not the car to carry around the high school basketball team, but for most people it'll be fine.   Tint - we've heard this is now a port-installed option, factory. I have not seen it yet, but see if you can find one that has it.   Front leg room is great, in fact the seat goes way back. Here is a comparo I did, note it has more front leg room that just about anything else, in fact that compensates for the rear seat leg room (just slide the seat forward an inch):   Front Rear Vehicle 43.6 33.7 Forester 41.4 30.6 Grand Vitara (now that's tight) 42.3 32.6 RAV4 (also very tight) 40.2 35.8 X3 (less total combined legroom) 41.6 36.3 Escape/Tribute (just 0.6" more comibined) 41.3 39.4 CR-V (best back seat, cramped front) 41.0 39.1 Element 41.6 36.8 Santa Fe 42.1 37.2 Tucson/Sportage (beats Santa Fe!) 40.8 37.2 Liberty (cramped front) 41.8 36.8 Freelander 42.3 35.5 Outlander 41.2 36.8 Vue   So if you find front leg room is tight, nothing else in this class will do for you, they're all tighter.   -juice

The OTL price is $23600. It seems some dealers are willing to go below invoice. Perhaps dip into holdback and/or other incentive they have. Edmunds' price is a bit high for this model, in my opinion. Many dealers I contacted were asking $200 to $300 above invoice, not $900 as listed in Edmunds. Replies to this message: wazu (Oct 20, 2005 9:06 am)
#825 of 2297 2006 Subaru Forester X Premium (Manual) by cthatcher Oct 04, 2005 (6:33 am)
2006 Subaru Forester X Premium (Manual)   Dealer: Shortline Subaru, Aurora, CO Sticker Price: $25,384 Included Options: auto dimming mirror/Homelink, cargo tray, bumper cover, splash guards Dealer Internet Offer: $22,800 Rebate: $1,000 Downpayment: $5,000 (we sold our used car privately and locally via the internet) Amount actually financed (after adding in taxes, fees, etc.): $19,035 Financing terms: 4.8% for 63 months Monthly payment: $343   Compared to the internet salespersons at the other Colorado dealerships I contacted, the internet salesman for Shortline Subaru treated me fairly and was honest about how low he was willing to go. I can't tell you the name of the salesperson I dealt with or the Edmunds bulletin board hosts will delete my post again, but he was straightforward, no b.s., and no sleazy salesman shtick-- if you want the latter contact the internet department of the Subaru dealership in Colorado Springs.
#826 of 2297 Should I buy this car? by waterfall Oct 05, 2005 (6:09 pm)
the dealer gives (by email) me $20,500+tax+title for this "2006 Subaru Forester red 2.5 X 4dr Auto", From their website I found out "MSRP $23,190.00 ON SPECIAL: 2006 Subaru Foresters in stock. Prices starting at $22,990 plus tax and title."   I just wonder why this car is "ON SPECIAL", what does "ON SPECIAL" mean? Since this dealer is too far from my home (around 100mile). How could I make sure this car worth it.   Thx for your reply. Replies to this message: raybear (Oct 06, 2005 7:11 am) waterfall (Oct 06, 2005 9:19 am)
