Go to rvdirect.com and fill out the options sheet for a 2017 Forester or its sister Sunseeker. I bet you the price will be lower for a new one than the price you were given. (There is a LOT of negotiating room on used RVs.)
Then with the rvdirect price, you can either buy from them, or call up dealers in your region who sell the same line. Tell them the price you have from rvdirect. Some/most of them will lower their price immediately, and a couple of them will meet it. That is what I did. Could not have been happier. I should have sent rvdirect a Christmas card that year. :)
In our case, the rvdirect price was more than 35 percent off the phony-baloney MSRP.
PS: A 2016 might be built on a 2015 chassis. A 2017 is built with the newest Ford transmission, which doesn't sound like much, but it's reported to be a very nice change in driveability and engine noise in certain situations.
