Subaru: Just bought '04 Forester

'02 Forester
Part of my sales persons "deal clincher" was to offer accessories from the
parts dept at "employee discount".
Apparently the employees don't get a great discount :-)
But I was able to buy the two accessories I purchased to date (hood
deflector, arm rest extension) at least as cheaply as I could find at any
online Subaru parts place (after shipping and handling were factored in).

Others will probably point you to those distributors.

I always look first on eBay. One of the best bargains that shows up
there quite regularly is the plastic floor liner for the cargo
compartment. That appears to fit both the 2003-04 and the earlier
Foresters. You do have to be careful about items from the earlier
Foresters to be sure they fit the newer ones, since there were some
significant body changes starting at 2003.

Remote locking fobs show up there quite regularly too. Go by the
picture, not the description, to ensure that you get the right kind.
Aftermarket moonroof wind deflectors are quite frequently listed, and at
a reasonable price. Perfect fit. Maintenance manual CD-ROMS. Xenon
"HID-like" lamps. LED lamp replacements. I've seen an occasional cargo
net.

The cargo liner from earlier models "fit" in the 2003 body, but it
leaves a gap between the liner and the back seat's seatback. But, hey,
for $20 (including shipping), I can live with the gap.

I thought that was a design feature! At less than 2 inches, it's just
anough room to store an umbrella between the liner and the seatback. If
I had bought a genuine 2003 liner direct from the dealer and it ended up
with that same gap, I'd just figure that this is the way it was supposed
to be.

Agree: "*But, hey, for $20 (including shipping), I can live with the gap."*

Umbrella, eh? Well, mine has that umbrella safely stored in its own
compartment in the floor of the cargo compartment, just behind the seat
backs! Or that was what the salesman TOLD me that little door was for?

Maybe the 2 inch gap was to leave access space for that little door?

Okay, so far all of the suggestions point me to eBay. I've never played
on that, been afraid I'd get on and, like Las Vegas, leave wearing a barrel.

but thanks for the ideas, guys. I'll have to give it a shot.

Any more suggestions out there for buying accessories?
