Anyone else notice that the MSRP for the 2009 Forester took a dive over the weekend?  I was watching the Manual Transmission Premium package (no add ons). It went from 23,160 MSRP to 22,495 MSRP over the weekend. That is down $665! Yeah!!! Invoice is down to 21,171. How low will it go... I don't think they changed the offerings within the packages, but we may want to check. ...whoever said he who hesitates...  PS This is per the Edmonds and Subaru website prices. |

Sorry all. I think I need to go to bed. The number that popped up didn't include the destination charge.  ...I'll have to check further when I have more sleep! Ah, well it was a nice thought!

I'm a big fan of the new 2009 Forester. However, after doing some research, I see that a used 2004 Lexus RX330 is about the same price as a new Forester. Without getting into the buying new vs. buy used age-old discussion, I was wondering from a pure product comparison basis, how would you compare these two. The way I look at it, with Lexus renowed reliability, it's reasonable to compare these two directly. Looks like the RX330 is a bit larger, better refinement, better towing capacity. The Forester has better fuel economy and perhaps a better AWD system. With about $25K to spend, just wondering whether to opt for the Forester or Lexus.

Replying to: jeffmc (May 12, 2008 11:17 am) Also, can someone check where the spare tire is to see if there is trailer pre-wiring there? Take a pic if possible. Finally, 3rd and final, promise, can someone take a picture of the guage cluster with the FWD light turned on, please? It might light up when you first turn the ignition on (or you might have to insert the FWD fuse). |

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (May 12, 2008 3:18 pm) You can insert a fuse to disengage the rear axle when you get a flat tire there, or when you are towing the vehicle behind a motorhome on a dolly. Basically someone refuses to believe the Forester is capable of going to FWD mode, but it is - if you insert the FWD fuse. I believe there is a light on the panel that lights up when the fuse is inserted. I wonder if it comes on in the test cycle, or if it only comes on when you insert the fuse?
