"is the plus-one setup worthwhile?"
 
Depends on how much value you place on handling. You have to buy new wheels, the tires will cost more and they're likely to be noisier. But yes, there's a noticeable difference in handling and it corners much tighter.

I wonder about that, too. My tires are oversized, yet the speeds are still reading slightly high if my NAV unit is accurate, and usually it's accurate within even very small city blocks.

Well, I bought the car (1999 with 21,000 miles) anyway. I think it is a sweet deal. I was able to find out that the previous owner was close to 70 and had handicap plates. He/she traded it in on a new Subaru. I have driven it 300 miles and am loving it. I might have paid a bit too much, but Subarus really hold their value here in MN, and it is rare to find a used one of any year with less than 100k mileage.

Suggestion for a reasonable price for a L.L.Bean by denali_wjl

I am looking for a 2006 Forester L.L.Bean,
I have gotten a few first round quote from a few dealers
around here, the OTD price are all above $28k. Maybe
partly because I need financing from subaru, therefore no
 $1000 customer cash-back. So I guess my question is
what's a reasonable price that I should look for?
  
I checked the edmunds TMV for Forester L.L.Bean without
extra options and the price is $25,587 + regional
adjustment $175 + destination charge $625 = $26387 for
my zip code. So, should I be looking to pay this
TMV($26387) + TTL? Or what should be a reasonable OTD
price.
  
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Edmunds probably includes the rebate in their TMV, you need to adjust by $1000.

The Subaru website has the Beaner's MSRP at $26,895. By comparison, they list the XT MSRP as $27,895.
 
I just purchased my XT (including splash guards, auto-dim mirror, rear bumper cover and rear cargo net) in the Washington, DC area at invoice for $26,879, and around $300 less than TMV.
 
If you're looking at paying $26,387 I'd say your paying too much, since I got my XT for only ~$600 more.
 
Personally, I'd be trying to get it for about $25,900 + TTL. Good luck!

I live in Alaska and recently purchased a 06 Forester LL Bean and used Costco in Washington State. They had a dealer in Marysville. The total cost with options was under $25,000.

One of the guys I work with just had an inquiry from someone who has family in Alaska--what's with the prices up there? Is it really cheaper to have to ship the cars?

A friend of mine living in King Salmon (300 air miles from Anchorage)came down to Portland last summer for vacation I met him in seattle then gave him a ride to Portland so we could visit. He purchased one then had it shipped I think it was around $2500.00 I was at the yard it was amazing how many NEW cars were to be shipped. This was the third time he had done it this way..... Matt
