I'm looking to buy a base model Forester 2.5X, the only option being automatic transmission. I've looked at lots of prices and talked to some dealers. I'm considering a low-mileage 2009 versus a new 2010. It seems like I can get the 2010 for right around $20k (offered by a salesman), and the used models list for right around $20k also (haven't negotiated the price)... I don't know how much negotiation room there is on that though.
Question is, if I can get a used 2009 Forester 2.5X Auto with, say, 20k miles, for $18k (+ fees) versus...
a new 2010 Forester 2.5X Auto for $20k (+ fees)...
...which one should I go with? Depreciation? Potential issues? Resale value?
Thanks in advance for your opinions!
