Very nice HomeLan. I've been thinking recently about buying a new forester.
You'd beat me off the line with that thing but i bet i could out 4X ya.

Damn nice. The wife says the backseats kick butt, plenty o' space, will seat three across the back. I'm 6'2", 260 pounds, and the driver's seat, both headroom and width-wise, is plenty big.
Be aware, the RT's with the hemi are being sold within a day or two of arrival, so they don't wanna deal (I could only get him down 1,500, and I'm pretty decent at that shit). The LXT's, though, with the V6 or the smaller V8, they were markin' down. You could probably shave them down even further.
This one had more options than I orginally shopped, but it was buy this one or wait 4-6 months while they got the one I wanted. Got the same story all over town.

1) Got it at Woodstock Dodge. Trade in, cash back (1,000), and argument got about $3,200 off the sticker.
2) 17 MPG city, 25 highway. Big difference, because the back 4 cylinders shut off at cruise speed to save gas.
3) Sunday? I'll be coming home from Mom's. Might be able to make it work, I'll call ya.
4) I like the new car smell. I'm gonna enjoy it while I can. Leather seats seem to accentuate it.
5) Sharky, get up here. I'll give you a ride in it if ya want.
6) Healthy down payment and good credit got me 4.89% on the loan amount.
7) Thanks. I've got a 2 hour drive to take today, and I'm lookin' forward to it.

He was talking to me. We usually try to have a guys afternoon on Sundays.
Unfortunately I shall have to pass as Tonks has been sick all weekend, the girls have been sick since living memory. Everyone is one antibiotics and cough meds. I thought I had escaped most of it except that I started to get the 'stuffy head' and ear drainage all over again. I haven't been able to discern the body and headaches as they are fairly constant. I can't tell good from bad half the time.
