Hi all, after perusing the Subaru boards for over 8 months now, I am now proud to annouce that I am now the proud owner of an '06 Forester XT Limited! It is a Steel Grey, 5-speed,and fully loaded. We bought it from Dulles Subaru in Leesburg, VA and although our salesman was a bit of a braggard a$$hat, the overall purchasing experience was very good. We paid 26,800 for it (included compass/auto-dimming mirror, cargo net and rear bumber guard) before the accessories we purchased. Also got free lifetime oil-changes from the dealer. Not sure if our deal is the best ever, but in this area I think we did ok since it's about $350 under Edmund's TMV. Anyway, the car is awesome and my wife (since it's going to be her primary driver) has already named him Mr. Thundercleese, in honor of the 7-foot tall battle robot neighbor from the Cartoon Planet show, "The Brak Show."

Hi Everybody. I was driving through a small city in Indiana and found a Subaru dealer that has a "pre-owned" 2005 Forester X - dark green - with 3,000 miles on it, manual transmission for $17,900. It is in a very good shape, I took it for a test drive and really liked it. I'm a Toyota customer, therefore, always like the AWD capabilities of the Subaru line. Is it a good deal ? I'll try to negotiate to $17,500. Is it a good pricing ? I also forget to see if the car has ABS brakes, do you happen to know if it is standard on the 2005 "X" ? What about quality, should I be concerned that the car is already for sale with just 3,000 miles ? The dealer said the owner traded it for a Tribeca and the car was purchased originally there. Any comments ? |

Replying to: brazuca (Nov 12, 2005 8:19 am) As for the quick trade-in, I suppose the dealer's explanation makes sense. If it were a Lemon Law return or a repo it probably would have more than just 3,000 miles.

Try this - call the dealer and ask someone else, if they tell you the same exact story, then it's probably true. -juice PS ABS has always been standard on the Foresters sold in the US, ever since 1998

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 14, 2005 7:58 am) I think the reason that it's a 5 speed manual transmission has to do with the car pricing. Anyway, I'll have to move fast if I don't want to loose the deal. I never looked at Subaru's before and I was impressed with the "beige" interior (looks really nice) and the handling of the car. The Forester cargo room and driver's leg room is also excellent. I know there is not much leg room in the back seat, but only my son will be sitting there anyway and he's just a kid. I'm glad to hear tha ABS is standard. Thanks!

Replying to: prosa (Nov 12, 2005 9:41 am) The only thing that I don't like is that since it's a base model, the bumpers are not painted the same color as the car, but at the same time, I will not find anything that it's AWD for less than that. Thinking...thinking...thinking...I hope nobody buys it before me. |
