How Much Should I Pay: 2008/2009 Subaru Forester
Question: Hi,

Thank you
Queen of the Road: First of all, sorry to hear about your wife’s accident and I hope she’s alright. I’m assuming her car isn’t a Sport or Premium, just base. Here’s what I’ve got for a pre-owned Forester…
For a 2008 Subaru Forester AWD 2.5X with 2,500 miles, prices range from $15,900 (being in above average condition) to $15,100 (being in average condition) and $14,400 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $15,900 to $17,500.
I’ll need more info. on what style of Forester you’d like.
