this is what i know about pricing so far, i know that there is a 3500 rebate from the manufacturer.

I was wondering if anyone that has bought one recently what kind of prices did you pay? What kind of freebies did you get thrown in.

IE: Winter Mats, front winter tints stuff like that

What fees did you pay, i know scarborough Nissan Charges for:
wheel locks: 50$
Registration: 250$
Color: 300$ - White
Last time i went to Scarborough Nissan i was quoted $31,500 OTD but that was w/o doing any research on what other people were getting.

Did you get any of the above waved?
- Any information would be greatly appreciated



-- Subaru Forester --

$29,xxx - for automatic.

I havent Managed to find a CCC report for it, i know most people are saying the most the've gotten it discounted from MSRP is 1500$. And it gets pretty expensive.

I am looking for the same information, Peoples opinions, Deals people have gotten.

Looking for Some Tips on Negotiation. - Ive heared some people calling different locations quoting CCC reports and going about it that way.


-- Saturn Vue --
Most links on the GM site doesn't work, loads blank pages.
I guess there still updating...

There current offers, is weird if you click on one model of the Saturn Vue it says 5500$ rebate click for details, then when you click on another model of the Vue it says 6500$ rebate click for details.

And then if you click on the "Click here for details" takes you to there general Offers page amd it says Rebates go from 4500-5500 on the Vue.

choose the xr4 and the xr 6.

Sometimes when i hit click here for details i get a blank screen.
One could extrapolate, if they can't even make a decent website why am i even thinking about there cars? - lol

------

I want a car that has similar in features as the Nissan Rogue, main things im interested in is Fuel Economy, Upfront Costs, and Value. - Which is why im leaning towards the Rogue more.

I was wondering what other peoples opinon are on these cars, and if current owners can comment on what they've paid and things they got included with there purchase - would help alot. If there are any websites you can direct me to that have recent buyers testimony/invoice prices? What dealership should i go to? do you recommend certain sales reps? Im located in Scarborough, but am willing to go anywhere within a hour or two drive.

Its my families first car purchase.

Thank You.

I recenlty bought a Forester Touring Auto. We loved the room, and the way it drove. Basically drives like a car, visibility is best in class as well. Also liked the fact you can get cloth heated seats as standard and massive sunroof

Paid MSRP - 1200 but the threw in 3M for the bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors. So I was happy with that.

Also 2010s are going up in price so I wanted to get an 09 while I could.

Also block heater, wheel locks, lease fee, paint was all included in that price. I know some other makers charge extra for that stuff.

Also choosing but between Rogues and Mistubishi Outlander (ES 4WD). I'd prefer Outlander because of features but Rogue because of price and fuel economy (which is price again)...

[circumventer]

that is exactly the dilema i had when choosing between outlander and rogue, but i find alot of people on rfd are against Mitsubishi so i sided with them.

The main reason i chose rogue over Outlander was the price.

But since i have saturn and subaru on the list i might as well put the mitz back on.

STill the saturn hybrid is 26xxx, but it lacks the AWD which i really want.
