looking for a 2008 Forester Sports 2.5 XT w/ 5MT

I'm in the market for a 2008 FSXT w/ a 5MT. The problem is that there are no more in CA and Subaru isn't making them anymore (obviously). Is there a way that I can search for dealer inventory across the US w/o searching one dealer/locale at a time? Most online tools I've used (subaru.com, edmunds, etc.) search on a per dealer basis, or at best, a handful of dealers local to a given zip code. I'm pretty sure dealers can do a nation wide search, but I didn't have much luck when I tried at Carlsen a few weeks back (the sales guy was only willing to search within CA).

In case anyone was access, I'm looking for a 2008 Forester Sports 2.5 XT w/ a 5MT, w/ a color preference of either Dark Grey or Aspen White (but at this point, I'd consider any color).

Like your "Drives" section on your profile... I'm currently listening to LAGWAGON. Haaaa.

Try Capitol.

Buy a Limited, put the Sports bumper on it, it's $180 unpainted. Limited has leather heated seats, they are much nicer. Here are some:

http://www.jenson.subaru.com/VehicleDetails/811234714
http://www.shingle.subaru.com/VehicleDetails/676952064
http://www.michael.subaru.com/VehicleDetails/862603074

Check subaruforester.org for used ones, WRB is selling his black limited for a good price right now. Also, Roo can probably track one down for you.

Leather seats is actually one reason why I prefer the Sports model over the Limited... Thanks for the links though, I still might consider an XT Limited if I really can't find any more FSXTs. Or I might do something stupid, like buy a 08 STI

^agreed.

But definitely check out SubaruForester.org first. If you haven't tried all the car websites as well like autotrader and cars.com I'd start there, not that you haven't gone down that road already.
