New car for mom: Subaru Forester!
Well, after looking at options and searching for a while we finally got a new car for mom. We got her a 2009 Subaru Forester with 16k miles. It was tough to find! Subaru's hold their value insanily well and the lighter colors sell fast.
Here are some pics from the ad: I looked at all the KBB info and the trade in value (lowest number) was $20,500 (suggested retail was about 25k! I called another dealer that had one with more miles and they wouldn't budge off of 23k for theirs). We got it for slightly less than the trade in value :) For anyone looking at Subaru's in the future - Irvine Subaru was great. I highly recommend them. |
Nice. What is she driving now?
|
She was driving a beat up old 96 Honda Accord. It's a stick too which is annoying for her. I tried to drive it this morning and it has some semi-serious issues. I'm going to take it to a mechanic this weekend to have it looked over. I may end up replacing my beater car with it depending on what needs to be fixed. It's definitely safer for the baby than the Protege.

Awesome. When my Protege 5 dies as a DD (hopefully many moons from now), a Subie of some form like this would be high on my list.

I was hoping you'd shake things up for her a little bit....set her free from that plain vanilla suburban honda lifestyle. Something with flames and loud exhaust perhaps.

She should come out sometime and roll with her pa in the Bimmer. You know, he's still the only one to get a ticket on any of our cruises. :pot_stir: |

I guess great minds really do think alike. Other than the NAV ours is identical. One word of warning- the paint is for sh*t, super thin and very easily scratched thru to bare metal. That and a little more road noise than we'd like are the only complaints we have after more than 35k.

We also bought ours at Irvine Subaru. They are great people and it turns out that our daughter-in-law used to babysit the owners kids!
