2015 Forester 2.0

[WML888]

i see. So you have been waiting for close to 3 months now.

 

Mind sharing how much you paid for the FXT/FNA? I went to test drive last week and was quoted 128k for FXT, guaranteed COE. IIRC, anther 4k for the top-up to the Black Edition.

$128,000/240HP = $533/HP.

$128,000/350N-M = $365/NM.

 

Not sure where I can go with the above analysis ... too free on Friday nite...

Booked mine at 107k FNA 8 bid NG. I think that time list price was 113k. Low price but if no COE also no use.....

Hi, suggest u inspect the spare tyre compartment. Was told during the new driver's workshop that the sound could be coming from the car jack rattling against the sides.

Hi...yes...in fact I tried to secure all loose n movable items in the book & had the car jack wrapped in soft sponge that doesn't create noise...thus far...exhausted almost whatever suggestions I can gather on the web...kids telling me they can hear noise in the A-Pillar (if that's how it's called) next to the front passenger seat where the seat belt is...will ask MI to troubleshoot that area next week. Will update! Thanks!

I like the forester alot, just dont understand why subaru resale value so bad.

 

Haix

Check the retractable cover for the boot. May be loose

That's the 1st thing I checked n even removed it totally from car but still noise. Kind of narrowed down now to the pillar next to front passenger seat where the seat belt runs from...seems like noise from there. Other area would be the whole rear seat. Thanks for advising!

What colour did you booked? Maybe the car has not arrived in Sg yet.

I am one of those guys who signed for FNA 8 bid ng during end May. Finally secured my COE in the recent bidding. I was approached to top up 3K, but did not do so as I am not in a hurry to get car. It was lucky to secure the COE on the 6th bid..

Congrats!! Did MI automatically bidded more for you this round than the last few rounds? What color did you pick and how much did you purchase during end May?

Hmm.. not sure for your case if MI will bid the same again for the last 2 rounds. COE came down a little this round but may not be able to drop another 3k within the next 2 rounds. You may want to consider topping up if you do not want to take the risk.

Good Day all the bro/sis,

 

Planning to buy forester within this few week before the next COE, since the price is quite attractive now. Anyone can share what free gift we can ask from SE, currently my SE tell me no camera, no mat, no 1 year free servicing. Scare tio Chop, becos other brand SE are able to give alot more. Just thinking is it the MI that set those No free gift rule or is the SE don wish to give. PS: sorry for my bad English.

 

Thanks and regard

Haha...after the long wait now no more excitement.

I might not opt to top up. In fact my SE is not keen even I asked about it and told me still got two bids to go.

Car to me is I want it instead I need it. Has been carless more than 6months and now getting used to it.

Yes, MI bid higher for me this round. I chosen bronze. I bought at $105K, with no free gift.

That's a good price u have gotten. You trading in car as well? Anyway, happy for you. Bronze is a nice color :) I'm sure you will enjoy the car

[Shox87]

What's the difference for black edition? Anything special? I can't seem to find anything abt it online

 

 

black edition comes with half alcantara seats, STI strut bar and links, blacked-out grill. Mostly cosmetic add-ons.

 

bad thing is that alcantara becomes smelly after a while, quite absorbent to perspiration.

$128,000/240HP = $533/HP.

$128,000/350N-M = $365/NM.

Haha. With the comparison you made, i think its the bestest boost for buck car at the moment. 

 

Most HP for the amount paid...

107k sounds like a very good price. Considering the fact the Vezel is around 103 to 104k now.

 

3k more.... for a whole lot more space/gadgets...

Admirable!!!

The price is ok. However, my used car was trade in at a relatively low price, just $2.5k above paper value.

Actually 105k is with trade in else the price will be 107k. As such you can consider a 4.5k above paper.

Since already secured the Coe just relax and wait for collection to enjoy your new ride. No point look back n compare.

[shev88]

:) regardless topping up or not, hope everyone is able to secure a COE and eventually get their car. In my opinion, really think Forester regardless XT or NA will be a great car. Am driving a sedan now and had been looking at vezel, qq, cx5, Tucson. Once I saw Forester, there's no turning back.

No point worrying about re sale value, it's just a ten year rental. Previous car was an 08' Altis, went back BM this year wanting to get the new Altis but they only give 1k above paper value cos of high millage. Never wanted nor thought of Subaru cos it's ah beng car, drink petrol, turbo explode easily and etc.. But my impression changed when test drove them, it's really confidence in motion, safety for my family. A cheaper version of XC60.
