Colour = generation (same body and platform). Black tags mark facelift, new-tech and first or last years.
How did the dealer quote it?
2010 Subaru Forester, used · 3rd generation
A fair price at 60,000 km is $11,215 to $14,675 (estimated), from 11 similar cars in British Columbia this month (1 already sold).
Right in line with the market. You might get a few hundred off, but there is no big overcharge here.
Only 0 2010 Foresters listed near 60,000 km, so this is estimated from the nearest listed mileage (100 to 150k km, 3 cars) using how 3rd generation Forester prices fall with mileage.
Hi, I am interested in the 2010 Forester listed at $13,995. Comparable ones in British Columbia have been selling between $11,215 and $14,675 at this mileage, typically around $12,945. Would you take $12,945? I can come in this week.
820 used Foresters (2009 and newer) in British Columbia right now. Here are the 20 most recently listed, each checked against the fair range for its own year and mileage.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $11,215 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2009 saves about $2,500 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 1 of the 11 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 3 cars at the nearest mileage). Prices are per vehicle; the same car listed at several rooftops is counted once. Sold cars are kept in because a car that sold at a price is evidence about that price.
