Hi,

I've just begun my research on purchasing a 2007
Forester. Got a quote of $26,300 for Forester LL Bean
edition. This is includes the $1000 rebate. Dealer
says this is $200 over her costs...

Car includes - sunroof, heated seats, heated side mirrors,6 disc cd
changer, power seat and leather....

Is this a deal???

In her email she mentioned the 2008 Forester will be out
in May. Is it worth me to wait to see if the price would
be lower on the 2007 model with the 2008's in stock.

I can easily wait till mid to late May to purchase....

What will the differences be in the 2008 over the 2007?
Anyone know?

Including the 3% they get back from Subaru ("holdback") when the car
sells, or not?

Run it through edmunds.com

Dealer costs won't change, and since Subarus tend to remain in demand
fairly steadily, I wouldn't expect to be able to achieve anything too
dramatic in clearing out old inventory.
