2003 vs. 2004 Forester

[Paul Gray]

Hi,

I'm very seriously looking at the 2003 or 2004 Forester XS with Premium
Package 1 (i.e. the one without the leather).

Two Questions.

1) One dealer says that the 2003 and 2004 models are absolutely identical.
Is this true?

2) Anybody know what the approximate dealer invoice cost (Canada) is as a
percentage of MRSP?

Thanks in advance......

Yes, except for a tiny increase in price. However the 2003 model's value
instantly depreciates one whole year MORE than the 2004 when you drive it
away from the dealer.

FYI last month we bought the exact Forester you want (2003 model) and are
quite pleased with it.
