It's pretty quick, but it is an auto. She likes it, but I'm not sure about $475ish payments. I'm debating getting this or just leasing something for $200 like a Corolla or Cobalt.

DO NOT LEASE ANYTHING. Leasing is a waste of money. Own. Buy. Purchase.

If you can weasel the price down to 20-21k, I'd go for it.

I'd never lease since it's a waste, but if she can get a two year lease for $150-175 it wouldn't be so bad. I really like the Forester though.

Yea, and Subaru is very reliable. Forester is pretty nice looking to boot. See if you can get them to drop the price a nudge, and say if you put it at $20k, I will buy it right now. When they come back and say $21k, walk away and see what happens. =)
