2009 Forester XT Premium Satin White Pearl for $22,998
by glin on Sat Sep 19 10:52:58 PDT 2009
We test drove the 2010 Forester for both XT Limited and X Base. Prefer the turbo but non-turbo is acceptable if turbo is too expensive. The sales in Performance Subaru is an old gentlement with a lot of knowledge and not push at all, love the attitude. We thanked him and said we'd think about it. We emailed every Subaru dealer within 200 miles asking price for XT Premium without options added. Turns out most of them don't have either 2009 or 2010 in the lots and I think they wrer quoting me the same 2009 XT and the same 2010 XT. (The 2009 is the one we got from Brockman; the 2010 is the one Prestige Subaru has, MSRP $27,986). The range is around $25,800 - $27,500 plus tax, tag, and documentation fee. BUT, Brockman Subaru in Amherst, VA offered us $22,998 plus tax, tag and $199 fee. It's a white 2009 XT. We used its price to ask other dealers again but no one even lowered their offer (ok, only one lowered $500.) Brockman is very honest upfront telling us that he gave this discount because they had hail weeks ago. We asked for pictures and he took them and emailed us. Frankly, we couldn't tell where the damages are on those photos and he said it's really hard to notice. He's been very responsive for our emails. So we decided to drive up for a look - even if we decided that we don't like it, it's still a good day trip because the route is beautiful. We really wouldn't know where the damage is if he didn't point out for us. You would see that when you look very closely and carefully but the paint is still intake. We asked for a test drive and he agreed. He didn't ask for driver's license and didn't sit in with us. He told us where we could drive so that we can test it on high way and country roads. We only drove like 2 miles - since we already test drove before, we just wanted to make sure this car has no problem. It's good. So we decided to buy it. We asked whether he could lower $500 and failed. But doesn't matter, $22,998 is still unbeatable. It comes with Puddle Light Kit and Auto-DimmingMirror/Compass. MSPR $27,272, We had to do the DMV in NC by our own, so we only paid $22,998 plus $199 fee there and he gave us a 30-day VA plate for us to drive back. Just completed the NC DMV job. The car is great. FYI, Brockman said they had several vehicles got hit, so you may want to email them to see whether you can find a good deal. The other dealers quotes me as: Foger (Charlotte) 2010 FXT $26,625 plus TTD; Parkway (Wilmington) 2010 FXT $26,375 plus TTD; Reynolds (VA) 2010 FXT $26,192; Maxwell (Burlington) 2010 FXT (with rear bumper cover, cargo tray, luggage compartment cover, splash guards, auto-dimming mirror) $26,573 - OTD $27,838; Bob Dunn (Greensboro) 2010 FXT $25,852 plus TTD - OTD $27,293; Cross Creek (Fayetteville) 2009 FXT $26772 plus TTD; Randay Marion (Mooresville) 2010 FXT $25,570.
Purchase 335i?
by wbb56 on Thu Sep 17 17:02:16 PDT 2009
My 335i 3-year, 36k mile lease is up in April of 2010. Due to an unforeseen job change I am going to go way over 36k miles. In fact I'm over 37k right now. Given that, and the fact that I made eight security deposits of roughly $600, I am considering purchasing the car at the end of lease--rather than pay for the 8-10k additional miles. Is this a good idea? If I decide to pursue it is the price of the car negotiable? What price should I expect to pay for the car? My negotiated price for the car was $45,575.00 (MSRP was $47,795). Residual value $30,000. Thank you very much in advance!

Neighbor just got his 2010 and he said it tracked like his Saab, cruising at 70 to 80 mph. Like on rails. By the way he got 62 MPG on that leg from Wilmington to Charlotte.

You can set your laser cruise control to draft a big semi and probably get unbelievable gas mileage. Then again with 266hp you'll probably be passing the semi, not following. ;) Wilmington is not too far, I could meet you in Baltimore, half way. As for the AWD Sienna, it does have the added benefit of being about an inch higher up off the ground, so you will have more ground clearance than any other van in the snow.

Thanks, juice! Yes, I still have my 05 LGT wagon. It's running great and I plan on keeping for a while but my wife and I were thinking that going up to snow country on the minivan would be nice too. I'll have to think through what you wrote about not needing the AWD. Also, I read somewhere that Toyota lengthened their warranty on the run flats, IIRC. Power doors -- you betcha. We're looking for a 7-seater anyway with captain chairs so I would start from there. I'm having a hard time finding any AWD Siennas without being bundled with the loaded Limited package. Yeah, laser cruise control sounds great, but I really don't want it! I'll take you up on the east coast offer. I'm out in Wilmington every now and then so I can certainly take a short hop down to where you guys are and do a long-overdue reunion!
