Did I get a good deal on my 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5x
All right I just did the cash for clunkers and bought a brand new 2010 Subaru Forrest 2.5x (base model) with a
Carrier Base
Bike Rack and hitch attachments
Hitch
Auto-Dim Mirror with compass
Bumper Cover
Luggage cargo cover
cargo tray
All weather mats
Splash Kit
For: $17, 806 with out tax and after the $4,500 for cash for clunkers
I bought the 7 yrs 100,000 miles warrantee and free oil changes for 3 yrs for 35,000 miles for $1975 more
Tax with be around $2000 after registration and such
Put $5,000 down and payments for 72 months at 4.9% for $237 per month
So total when I am all paid off I will be paying $24,064.
Did I get a good deal before getting cash out for cash for clunkers I calculated I save about $1000 off the retail price.
Please give me some feedback. I signed the contract on Saturday and I am thinking about canceling it because I feel that I got taken because the cash for clunkers is still money the dealership is getting and I feel that I didn't get jack off the retail price.

If you assume you get a change every 3K miles (and you can really go 6-7K if not dusty conditions), that's 11 changes. If you assume $35 each time, total is $408.... hence, you've lost over 1500.
Now, if that $1975 includes the 100K warranty, question is how much THAT costs.
the oil changes was 3yrs or 35k for $325
Keep it for sure.
$1600 for the warranty is a little high, but if you got $0 deductible you did fine.
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.
Obama opportunists and current administration incentives are robbing us all.

Move your post there, then maybe it will be worthy of a reply.
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.
There is a Sport XT model rumored for 2010, let's see if it comes with a manual.
I'd really appreciate some help with this. I'm looking to lease a 2010 forester 2.5x or the 2.5x premium for 3 years. I was offered $11,300 for the 2.5x premium, and that only included the first year's registration. I believe the $11,300 included tax and title. This is my second time leasing, and I got screwed the first time. I want to counteroffer something like $9,000. Is this reasonable? I want my net cap to be something around $19,000, is that reasonable? The LERV will probably be around $13,500. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks for reading this.
Thanks,
Andrew
I want to ask for some help.
I'm planning to buy a 2010 subaru forester preminum trim.
Question 1. How much should I spend to buy it?
Question 2. Should I wait for the 2011 model?
It's not announced yet so we can't be sure.
IIRC those run around $23.5k or so street price, but I have not looked in a while.
As for Mitsu...
