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

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

My Subaru experience. Just over a year ago my wife was looking for a car. She kind of liked the Forester. I went to the nearest Subaru dealer here Appleway Subaru of Spokane and said that were were interested in leasing a Forester. My wife and three kids came to the dealer the next day and she said that we were interested in leasing a Forester. She went out for a test drive and liked it and asked how much for a lease? The salesman then said that she had just driven a 2004 and that they are bad to lease because they have already depreciated significantly. BTW, the sticker price on the car was over $30,000. A little aggravated at this point, we said we came here, we test drove it and each of the two times that we talked to you we specifically stated that we wanted a lease. Will you please quote us a lease price for the car that was test driven. About one hour after waiting and waiting and waiting with three kids, one of whom was two, we left. The dealership was it seems not up to the mathematics of calculating a lease. I do not really know what they were up to, but they played us like idiots and we are not. Those were my last steps inside a Subaru dealership.

Stay as far away from them as possible I went there when shopping and I can tell you they are a bunch of T^&^^T. I wont go into details my trip with them but it was the same by many who I have taled to .But if you want to be treated fair and honest go to SELECT SUBARU in Post Falls. They are a private owned dealer not Corp America like Appelway and Camp. Select in post falls sells more Subarus than both of the Spokane stores together. I live in Spokane Valley and take my forester to Select for service they will treat you fair ... Good Luck... Matt

Is Select a new dealer? Year to date they are way behind the others you mentioned, here are the numbers of new car sales reported.
Appleway: 325
Camp: 291
Select: 204
