I don't think that's a bad deal at all, you got a grand off and some people are paying MSRP, or worse, missing out on the deal entirely if they can't find what they want.
 
Keep it for sure.
 
$1600 for the warranty is a little high, but if you got $0 deductible you did fine.

Would you be able to cancel it if you already signed the contract? You got a good deal; anyway far better than I did. In my case, I think the dealer jacked up the price to offset the $4500 cash for clunkers. I feel like I was robbed.

Why?
 
It's supply and demand.
 
Supply was very short, some dealers were out of cars.
 
Demand was crazy, with people rushing to buy those cars.
 
Of course prices went up. That's how this economy functions.
 
Sure you can get a deal that's probably $1000 better today, but then you'd give up $4500.
 
Passing on that huge incentive is closer to being robbed - robbed of an opportunity.
 
Penny wise, pound foolish.

They jacked up the price $4500, not $1000. I won't recommend the dealer - that's for sure.

Then I would have waited. I'm sure the clunker had some value, even as a beater.

If you know anything about economy, please tell us who is paying for what you are referring to "opportunity"?
Obama opportunists and current administration incentives are robbing us all.

You are TOTALLY in the wrong thread. Since you're clearly lost, here are directions:

Move your post there, then maybe it will be worthy of a reply.

Thank you to all those who have contributed answering my question. I have been driving my new forester since August. I am really satisified with it. So whether I paid less or more for the actual price. I will have this car for many years so in time it won't really make a difference.
 
To answer the question about my clunker. It was a 1990 Nissan Pathfinder with over 130,000 and it was in very bad shape except for the engine. It was worth nothing because me and a bunch of people spray painted it for a fundraiser. The thing couldn't go over $65 with full passanger load becuase I would lose control. The forester is a very nice upgrade I can't wait to test it out in a Wisconsin winter.
 
The only I wish I would have got a manual w/ turbo instead of the automatic.

I hear ya. If Subaru offered a manual with the turbo, I would have been sorely tempted to consider it - even at the price premium. As it was, I did not have to worry about it at all.

Congrats.
 
There is a Sport XT model rumored for 2010, let's see if it comes with a manual.
