Question
I have a couple of questions. I am moving to CA soon to a hilly/mountainous region. The Subaru Forester or Outback have been recommended to me from several sources. I would like to buy a new one - say a 2008 or 2007 with low mileage. When is the best time of year to buy such a car? And what part of the country has the best prices. I understand CA has stricter emission laws then elsewhere; is this something I should consider and buy in CA? Your help would be appreciated.
Answer
Hi Emily
Best time of year to buy a car is a question that have been answered in so many ways, if you want to read my version, here is a link on my website http://www.usedcartips.org/besttime.html
As for having the best prices it comes down to supply and demand for each state, overall you will find prices don't differ to much.
If I was to pursue I would compare prices via " autotrader.com ".
EXAMPLE, Enter query, 2008 Subaru Outback with a CA zip code, you will get a feel for prices, then repeat same question with another zip code, and you will find the answer.
As for emission laws,,, That should not come into play buying a late model year, don't give it second thoughts.
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but reading into your query I find you totally green buying a car, if you want I will help you along to ensure valid value buying a car, find the time to study my succinct website, if confused feel free to ask further question.
