Hi, I am interested in the 2009 Forester listed at $14,995. Comparable ones in Ontario with similar mileage have been selling between $12,901 and $14,501 this month, typically around $13,701. Would you do $13,701? I can come in this week.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $12,901 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- 1 of the 8 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 8 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.
