How did the dealer quote it?
2012 Subaru Forester, used · 3rd generation
A fair price at 60,000 km is $12,193 to $14,183 (estimated), from 24 similar cars in Canada this month (4 already sold).
Right in line with the market. You might get a few hundred off, but there is no big overcharge here.
Only 0 2012 Foresters listed near 60,000 km, so this is estimated from the nearest listed mileage (100 to 150k km, 5 cars) using how 3rd generation Forester prices fall with mileage.
Hi, I am interested in the 2012 Forester listed at $13,995. Comparable ones in Canada have been selling between $12,193 and $14,183 at this mileage, typically around $13,188. Would you take $13,188? I can come in this week.
2,566 used Foresters (2010 and newer) in Canada right now. Here are the 20 most recently listed, each checked against the fair range for its own year and mileage. 3 look like good deals.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $12,193 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- 4 of the 24 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 5 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.
