So, I have the Core Book and Gaia and I can't find any references to Omega in either of them. I've only perused the fluff section of the Core and Gaia, but Omega did not catch my eye. Can someone please tell me? Thanks.
Where is Omega?
Posted 24 January 2012 - 08:29 AM
Posted 24 January 2012 - 09:51 AM
He is found in Those who Walked Amongst Us. The bestiary.
Posted 24 January 2012 - 10:11 AM
Ah. Well, there's no way I'm getting that any time soon. Could you please tell me a little about him? All I could find on the net was that he's supposed to some sort of "Harbinger of the End Times". A little more info would be good. Origin and stats, in particular.
Posted 24 January 2012 - 02:23 PM
Seriously just get the book, their is way to much information just to share, plus it wouldn't be fare to share such stuff. Just buy the book yes its expensive, but its well worth the money to further your games.
Posted 24 January 2012 - 03:36 PM
No kidding! Every book is chock full of fluff and stuff.
Posted 24 January 2012 - 04:09 PM
Just to make it more interesting Omega is so named because it is the creature that will eventually destroy reality. So ya, get the book.
Posted 24 January 2012 - 09:06 PM
to be brief:
Abel was dealt the final blow by an undefined descendant of Andromalius (last Emperor of Solomon), who thanks to the machinations of Millenium had come into possession of a Pillar of Souls (a weapon from a bunch of 20 created by Imperium with the objective of creating the perfect weapon to destroy Shajads/Beryls/Gaira/C'iel). The Pillar of Souls peculiarity is sucking-up all Gnosis and powers from the target, so it can become stronger through ages. Now when the Pillar sucked the AWESOME Gnosis of Abel (supposedly a Protodeus of high level from Imperium), the nanomachines inside the blood of Andromalius' descendant went completely mad and somehow interferred with the whole stuff.
As a consequence the unnamed guy is turned in a monster of pure power and madness, which creates a completely new pocket-dimension for itself, where it resides. Sometimes it sends avatar into Gaia (The Shadows of Omega). Imperium so far has been unable to go and collect the Pillar of Souls possessed by Omega, which is VERY VERY annoying to them.
Actually, the whole creation of Omega was a twisted plan by Millenium exactly to thwart the Imperium by putting the Pillar of Souls out of their reach.
It's no wonder if you consider that Millenium later helped both Rah and Eljared in their plans...both great opponents to the Imperium.
My belief is that, considered the mentioned powers, Millenium is actually the Avatar of Uriel, which fights against Imperium because ultimate freedom for Gaia would be breaking the influence of Powers in The Shadow. I wouldn't be surprised if she also manipulated so that Iscariot came into possession of Solomon's 30 Black Pieces and knowledge of Imperium manipulation so long, which was another thing Imperium did not exactly wish for.
Perhaps I went a bit out of topic, but this fluff is very interesting so I hope I didn't troll your topic anyway.
Posted 25 January 2012 - 07:08 AM
I would get the book if I could, guys; just really short of cash at the moment. I intend to get it as soon as I can. So, thanks, Elric, for the info. I can work with that for now. The speculation about Millenium being an Avatar of Uriel is really interesting.
Posted 25 January 2012 - 08:24 AM
I thought he was trapped in that pocket dimension by the same people that gave him Longinus to begin with. Because it became a threat so powerful that no-one could destroy it, just trap it. Also it's Shadow (avatar) that's floating around is looking for a way to free it, so that it can destroy existence.
I suggest picking up the book, though you might make your own Omega, or pull something from a FF game. It has multiple 'incarnations' that you face in a battle. First you take on Magic weilder, and when that goes down you face it's real self, Mr. Ki. But there's a lot of other fun stuff in Those who Walked Amongst Us part 1, than just Omega.

Omega is a level 16 Technician that does not break the rules of the game. He can easily be defeated in both his forms. I thought he was supposed to be an all powerful thing too, even the description of him gives that impresseion. His stats are just extremely disappointing.
Posted 25 January 2012 - 03:21 PM
...Omega is a serious threat. Just saying. And his stats are way higher in general than you're going to get on any PC at 16th, or even 30th level.

Not to The Imperium. I did the math, a group of level 10's can kill him without trouble due to mass combat rules granting +150, assuming they have Gnosis of 15+ (Omega gets a bonus due to high Gnosis) and 1 level 10 Wizard can just become a god and beat him down if they needed to. Of course, as that I always play wizards and know wizards inside and out, all my plans involve killing him with magic by removing his Supernatural Powers, decreasing his Gnosis, destroying his weapon, and then killing him, all this requires is a Wizard casting High and Divine Magicks, which The Imperium has.
Remember Imperium is a large group of level 10+ people with technology, magic, and technomagic that makes The Empire of Solomon looks like "barbarians". All they need to do is drop a nuke, what scares Imperium, from my understanding, is not Omega. They are afraid of whoever made Omega.
I thought they feared him too, but the people at the official forum corrected me.
Posted 25 January 2012 - 07:13 PM
I can see your point there. Not overly familiar with magic beyond the basics. But Anima has numerous systems. I think perhaps the Gnosis tackling issue should be resolvable in more ways that just using magic though.
Posted 25 January 2012 - 08:39 PM
A level10 wizard must be allowed to cast in order to make all that stuff...and it's not like Omega is going to relax while you accumulate zeon. He's pretty tough and the imperium must be careful sending level10 protodeus against it, because anyone fell by Omega turns in more power to him (due to the pillar absorbing the Gnosis and stuff...).
Anyway, the Imperium right now considers that Pillar of Souls out of reach, which is somewhat bothersome to their plans. Besides, if I'm not mistaken spells allow MR checks most of the time...what if Omega passes those?
Posted 26 January 2012 - 02:39 AM
Two things;
1) By the time the level 10 wizard I am thinking of is actually fighting Omega he is considered a level 14 with 2400 DP, Gnosis 45 (giving +10 opposed checks against Omega), 20INT, 16+POW, with High and Divine Magic at his disposal, and would need the Metamagic ability Added Maintenance. I said a level 10 wizard can become a god and fight him, if they do not do so beforehand and fight him as just a level 10 they will lose.
There are many, many ways to make him stronger (such as existential loop), but this is assuming a level 10 that was not designed to be overpowered at first. Yes, you can transform a standard level 10 Wizard into this without much trouble. If a player wanted to do this I would allow it, however I would not allow them to stay in this form after defeating the threat that Omega poses. Basically this should only be allowed as a last-ditch, "we failed to stop his escape so we need something that can beat him down" strategy, and should probably have some major cosmic retributions in its own right.
2) It is true that Omega has good resistances, but he has a 99% chance of failure against a group of level 10's (due to the +50 MR to their spells from mass combat spells) and an 80% chance of failure against the wizard (unless he uses Voodoo in which case 99% failure with some prep). In either case that is at best a 20% chance of resisting. Unfortunently his Omega: Lord of the Infinite form does have Chaos Meister ability and really high defense, which does cause some problems if he activates it... Him blocking the spell is more of a problem than the MR check.
Posted 26 January 2012 - 06:32 AM
Um...so your entire strategy is based on using optional rules, and declaring 'mass combat' on a single big bad with your party. Since when does fighting one person count as Mass Combat? And who would allow that?
Posted 26 January 2012 - 07:25 AM
I'm curious about the Level10 guy being a Level14-equivalent, Gnosis 45 being with 2400DPs. Could you explain this better, seems pretty nice munchkin build, you've captured my attention.

My strategys to defeat Omega requires either
A) A large group of level 10's, at least 100 preferably 10,000+. This is kind of the point of mass combat rules, thousands against 1 on equal footing.
B) One level 10 wizard who becomes a god temperarily to deal with the problem.
D) Imperium's nuke
Interestingly both A and B are possible with a level 10 creation mage that has not used Chimera on them self. I love the Book of Creation, only the Imperium's nuke plan would really work well without it. Albeit all the attacks planned to be used on Omega are Book of Destruction, but that is beside the point
As per the level 10 that becomes a level 14 with 45Gnosis, its actually easy and both the most munchkin build I can make and a completely not-munchkin build at the same time. It requires that everything stacks (something I find wierd about Anima, but nothing to contradict it) the following (which may or may not be 100% accurate as that I do not own the Core Exxet). I call it, "Make anyone a Munchkin plan Beta", and in case your wondering, yes plan Alpha was scraped when summoners tore it apart.
1) Pre Core Exxet spells(less powerful)
Start with a non-munchkin mage, but one that was built well, meaning INT 14-16 POW 10-12. Have them know the Book of Creation and Book of Light to level 100 in both. This guy should already have the Added Maintenance metamagic tree, which is my favorite of the trees, but as that there are 4 this is fairly likely anyway. Now have him cast Chimera on himself, increase POW to 15 and INT to 20 (this will take ~200DP, you should be able to get ~300) and Opposite Magic, then learn Book of Darkness and Book of Destruction as fast as possible. Next enter the wake and, using Lord of Dreams or Lord of Nightmares obtain access to Divine Magic. Finally use Ascension and Dark Ascension to increase your Gnosis by +20 (as that each gives +10Gnosis). With the 500DP get your Projection up to your now level 13-ness, increase Zeon, and use the rest of the DP as CP for whatever you need to improve, and with the +10 from your higher Gnosis, combined with a spell or metamagic ability to increase your projection, you might pull this off.
2) Post Core Exxet spells(what I planned this in)
Much as above, except Chimera grants +400DP, Ascention automatically sets your Gnosis to 45 (albeit you have to cast Eternal Magic to make it Daily Maintenance) and by using Perfection to give +1 to all stats Chimera does not have to carry as much of a load. Unfortunently the Destruction Magic in this build is much weaker than in Pre-Core.
Yes this would work much better if they were a munchkin before casting Chimera, but the point is that it is doable with a fairly standard level 10 mage. But, as I said above, I would never allow this normally from a PC, just from the Munchkinity of it. And yes, by the end he is counted as a level 14, but as this is done by casting spells at level 10 I count it as a level 10.
Posted 26 January 2012 - 10:01 PM
I understand. I don't let my characters learn spells they can't use (I don't let them learn High and Divine Magic unless they can actually use them). And besides I apply High and Divine Magic to Free Access and Subpath spells too, because I think this balances Magic better. Apart from that, it's all really clear, but should Omega target the mage first, it would anyway be in danger, probably, and Omega shouldn't have much problems recognizing the greatest threat in a party, probably. Anyway, good plan to go at it.
Posted 27 January 2012 - 03:36 AM
Real way to beat Omega doesn't even need stuff like Ascension
Lucifer has only 340 attack in his base form(Lord of Infinite has 350), that means in order to hit the Predetermined Zen Magic Shields, he needs to open roll(which you can't use Chaos Meister to do). So chimera, a few maxed out Perfect Shields and Sweep From the Heavens means that he loses all his special divine required abilities and when he dies, he just dies.
In fact with some spells for buffs, the forms have to roll over 550 to do anything to a mage/warlock just beating him down.

The massive data breach was a result of keylogging software maliciously installed on an untold number of computers around the world, researchers at cybersecurity firm Trustwave said. The virus was capturing log-in credentials for key websites over the past month and sending those usernames and passwords to a server controlled by the hackers.
On Nov. 24, Trustwave researchers tracked that server, located in the Netherlands. They discovered compromised credentials for more than 93,000 websites, including:
Trustwave notified these companies of the breach. They posted their findings publicly on Tuesday.
"We don't have evidence they logged into these accounts, but they probably did," said John Miller, a security research manager at Trustwave.
Related: The most dangerous cyberattacks
ADP, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Yahoo told CNNMoney they have notified and reset passwords for compromised users. Google (GOOG) declined to comment.
Miller said the team doesn't yet know how the virus got onto so many personal computers. The hackers set up the keylogging software to rout information through a proxy server, so it's impossible to track down which computers are infected.
Among the compromised data are 41,000 credentials used to connect to File Transfer Protocol (FTP, the standard network used when transferring big files) and 6,000 remote log-ins.
The hacking campaign started secretly collecting passwords on Oct. 21, and it might be ongoing: Although Trustwave discovered the Netherlands proxy server, Miller said there are several other similar servers they haven't yet tracked down.
Related: Adobe's abysmal security record
Want to know whether your computer is infected? Just searching programs and files won't be enough, because the virus running in the background is hidden, Miller said. Your best bet is to update your antivirus software and download the latest patches for Internet browsers, Adobe (ADBE) and Java.
Of all the compromised services, Miller said he is most concerned with ADP. Those log-ins are typically used by payroll personnel who manage workers' paychecks. Any information they see could be viewed by hackers until passwords are reset.
"They might be able to cut checks, modify people's payments," Miller speculated.
But in a statement, ADP said that, "To [its] knowledge, none of ADP's clients has been adversely affected by the compromised credentials."

Bulls' Joakim Noah makes NBA All-Defensive first team
BY HERB GOULD firstname.lastname@example.com May 13, 2013 10:48PM
Updated: May 15, 2013 10:40PM
Joakim Noah was named Monday to the NBA All-Defensive first team. He shares the center position with New York's Tyson Chandler. Both received 24 votes.
Noah is the first Bull on the All-Defensive first team since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in 1997-98.
''I'm obviously very pleased,'' coach Tom Thibodeau said. ''Down the road, Joakim has a very good chance to be defensive player of year [because of] his ability to defend all five positions, individual defense, team defense, rebounding, multiple effort. He's a very unique player.''
Memphis swingman Tony Allen (53 votes) and NBA MVP LeBron James (52) headline the team. Oklahoma City big man Serge Ibaka and Clippers guard Chris Paul also were on the first team.
Carlos time?
After scoring just 14 points on 6-for-20 shooting in the first two games, Carlos Boozer stepped up with 21 points on 10-for-16 shooting in Game 3.
''He was aggressive early,'' Thibodeau said. ''He was able to get some good looks. He scored in different ways: Transition, pick and roll, post. That's what he has to do.''
Thibs was looking for more of that in Game 4, but Boozer struggled. He had 14 points but was 3-for-14 from the field with 12 rebounds.
Rough and tumble
Both coaches downplayed the extracurricular activity that has produced a lot of headlines.
''We're not going to get wrapped up in that stuff,'' said Thibodeau, dismissing a question about the eight technicals and three ejections the Bulls received in Games 2 and 3.
''Both teams are physical teams,'' Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. ''A lot of it is overblown from what is actually happening on the court. You just have two teams that want to establish their end defensively. Ultimately, [the series] will be decided between the four lines.''
Thibodeau also dismissed the suggestions that the Bulls need to adjust their aggressiveness based on what the officials are calling.
''It's not about the officials,'' Thibs said. ''It never has been. What you can't get sidetracked in are the things that are unimportant. If something didn't go your way, you can't allow that to impact the next play. You have to be mentally tough.''
Next man up
Thibs readily embraced the ''Next Man Up'' placards that were distributed to the United Center crowd for Game 4.
''We're short-handed,'' Thibodeau said ''We understand that we have to do it collectively and do it with great intensity. That's our only chance. We've done that throughout the course of the year. It's playoff basketball. That's the way it is.''
The Bulls again were without Luol Deng (aftereffects of spinal tap) and Kirk Hinrich (bruised left calf).

He was a lifelong resident of Cleveland and was of the Baptist faith. He was a member of Georgetown Baptist Church, where he also served as a deacon. In addition to being heavily involved in his church, he was also a volunteer with Ocoee Outreach.
He also enjoyed gospel singing and was an avid basketball and football fan. He graduated from Polk County High School, where he played basketball and baseball, and, in his later years, played church league softball. Above all of these things, however, he was a family man.

In addition to his mother and father, he was preceded in death by one brother, Marvin Stinnett.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory his wife of 47 years, Clara Collins Stinnett; son, Jeff Stinnett; daughter and son-in-law, Pam and Kirk Allen; sisters: Leota Rice (Billy) and Lucille Shipman (the Rev. W.L); brothers: Paul Stinnett, Billy Stinnett (Drucilla), and A.J. Stinnett (Shirlyn); two grandchildren: Jake and Jared Allen; and several nieces, nephews, and extended family members and friends.
The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014, at Georgetown Baptist Church, Highway 60 in Georgetown, with the Revs. Jerry Campbell, W.L. Shipman, Dan Dockery, and Earl Farris officiating.
The family will receive friends today from 4 to 8 p.m. at the church.
Interment will follow the service on Thursday at McClanahan Cemetery. Kirk Allen, Tim Ledford, Danny Stinnett, Chris Stinnett, Mike Stinnett, and Nathan Shipman will serve as pallbearers. The men of Georgetown Baptist Church will serve as honorary pallbearers.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made to the Bradley Baptist Association Disaster Relief Fund, 2707 North Ocoee St., Cleveland TN 37312.
You are invited to share a personal memory of Jerry or your condolences with his family at his online guestbook located at www.companionfunerals.com.

Chris O'Dowd Gossip
Chris O'Dowd gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
James Franco is really good at taking criticism
James Franco's been performing on Broadway in Of Mice And Men with Chris O'Dowd. Remember when James Franco creeped on a 17 year old girl and then blamed her for putting him on blast on social media? Remember when there was NO outrage about his predatory behaviour? Click here Full Story
One of our favourite couples...and Brad Pitt
I'm sorry. I should post more photos of Dawn O'Porter and Chris O'Dowd. Because we love them. Don't we love them? Here they are today in London at the launch of her book Paper Aeroplanes. I'm attaching the synopsis, mostly for Duana, because I guarantee you as soon as she reads it, she'll be ordering it: I just can't imagine me without you. Full Story
Newlyweds and lingerie
Chris O'Dowd and his wife Dawn Porter were in London last night at a lingerie fashion show. Chris and Dawn did not get married in Italy. For them it was a backyard. Or at least that's what it looked like. They did not sell their wedding photos. This Full Story
Imagine if this was Brange?
We would all rather a Brange/Aniston-Theroux wedding off over an anti-climactic Labour Day weekend situation, right? Please Gossip Genie. Let it play out that way instead. No matter when it actually happens though, there's no way either couple will release a wedding portrait as awesome as this one. Full Story

text: I'm a bit disappointed because of the color: the ones I received are light brown rough leather, not dark brown and soft leather like in the picture. The difference is very noticeable and I prefer the look of the picture. That's the reason why I gave them 3 stars. In Amazon they were cheaper and the color of the pics there is more accurate to the real product. Besides that, shoes are very comfortable, fresh, light and sturdy. Size OK. Normally I'm 43.5 but I asked 45 because I read from other users that you should take 1.5 larger size. 45 fits perfect to me.

- Larkspur Ferry at 'crossroads:' Ridership outgrowing parking
GOLDEN GATE Bridge District leaders are trying to tackle problems created by the growing popularity of the Larkspur ferry.
The ferries are such a popular way to commute to and from San Francisco that the district's boats are jammed and the terminal's vast parking lot is too small.
There also are not enough ferry seats to provide rides for all the commuters who show up in the morning.
These aren't new problems, but bridge officials appear to be ready to renew their search for solutions.
Larkspur ferry ridership has grown to an average of 5,300 per day. That's up 22 percent since 2003.
Commuters have to show up early to be assured a seat and even those who show up on time don't always get a seat on the boat and they have to take a bus assigned to handle the overflow.
Between 30 and 80 people end up on the overflow bus every workday.
Even if the district was to add another boat to the commute fleet, there's no place for commuters to park.
Parking has become a big problem. The ferries carry 5,300 passengers every weekday, but there are only 1,800 spaces in the lot.
That's an equation for a daily parking mess.
That's why the district is, once again, talking about building a new parking lot nearby and, possibly, a parking deck over the existing lot.
That's going to take money — $25 million, according to one estimate. The district doesn't have that cash readily available. In recent years, it has been cutting its way out of a long-term budget problem.
Bridge leaders say building parking may require the district to start charging motorists to park in the lots.
A reasonable charge to cover the cost of construction makes sense, but the district needs to be cognizant that the charge doesn't become a disincentive to take the ferries.
"We are at a crossroads," said Ron Downing, the district's director of planning.
Old-timers around the county can remember when Larkspur ferries started serving commuters in the 1970s. There were more empty seats than passengers and plenty of parking.
Ridership grew slowly and took a big jump when when the district put faster boats to work, raised the bridge toll and lowered commuter fares.
Commuters flocked to the Larkspur ferries. Since then, the boats have been packed during commute runs with riders who have turned to the district's boats as the way to escape the bumper-to-bumper grind of driving.
There is a growing demand for more service. It is likely having more boats will increase ridership.
That, however, doesn't solve the parking problem, but it is promising district leaders have put both issues back on the agenda, where they belong.
These are big problems that are going to take time — and continued outreach to ferry riders.
But the Larkspur ferries continue to be a public transit success story and it's time that the district builds on that growing demand.

2013 and earlier-Subaru Forester Prices Paid and Buying Experience
tijuana19 Posts: 40Last night purchased a 2014 Forester XT Premium in SoCal for 100 over factory invoice, which is a fair deal I guess, considering FXT Premiums are in short supply right now. No trade, no money down. zero dealer mark ups, no warranties purchased, third party financing. only 80 doc fee and TTL
In socal its easy to get 400 over invoice if you can find the right FXT.
BTW, truecar has incorrect invoice pricing on some accessories, so get your numbers right before hand. -
buyer157 Posts: 40Great thread folks. Many of you sound like you are pros at this.
Went for a test drive today of both the Forester and Outback. I've also driven the CX5 and the RAV. I was incredibly impressed by the Forester.
Ideally, I would like a Premium Auto.Don't need the all-weather package or other options.
I wasn't ready to do final negotiations with the salesperson today, but asked for ball park pricing.
First issue - he started telling me that as this is the north east, all the cars come with the weather package..."everybody wants it." He also told me that things like the auto lighting approach mirrors and auto dimming mirrors are also on every car..(another extra 500 on top of the 500 for the all weather package).Add in the cargo cover, mud flaps etc...and we have 1300$ in options that he insisted were basically ordered up by everyone.
So, my question for this experienced group - how true are these statements?Was this similar to your own experience or did your dealer customize your car as you saw fit?
Second, assuming that the dealer is exaggerating and I can pushback hard, I'd love to hear what I should be insisting to pay for a premium CVT without any additional options. I saw someone on this thread paid 26500 OTD with the WinterOption, which sounds fair to me...
Any feedback on these two questions would be GREATLY appreciated. Any experiences in the NY/NJ, CT area are especially helpful. I will of course update the group and help any future buyers that I can. -
jamesm7 Posts: 2Every Premium auto we saw in Seattle had exactly the same package (side mirror lights, heated seats, auto dimming mirrors, homelink on the mirror, cargo cover). Our sales guy said that Subaru just builds the first batch all the same, and then starts adjusting the option mix later on. Made sense to me - but a) I have no idea if it's true or not, and b) it might as well be true, since you can go online and look at dealer inventory of many, many cars at all the dealers around here, all with exactly the same options package.
We paid (Eastside Subaru, Kirkland WA):
188.25 excise tax, license, title, registration
2449.51 sales tax (9.8%, but WA state sales tax is [mostly] deductable from federal income tax - we're special.)
150 documentary services fee (which really should just be rolled into the sales prices, sigh) -

buyer157 Posts: 40Hi all - Just took a test drive of a 2014 Forester Premium. Was incredibly impressed by the solid, yet agile road feel, interior volume and visibility. I've also driven the CX5, supposedly the class leader in small/mid-sized SUV driving dynamics, and felt the Forester was better.
Would have probably bought it then and there if the salesman didn't start to try to upsell me every single conceivable option.
My question- what should I expect to pay OTD for a Premium Forester CVT? I think the standard feature set will suit me just fine. I'd love to hear how buyers on this thread did...please specify any options above the standard Premium trim package you included. I'd be so appreciative of this groups feedback.....and will provide an update for all future readers. -
badintentions Posts: 4See my post above yours. I got mine for $23,900 OTD. Premium CVT with All Weather Package. Also came with wheel locks, splash guard, aero cross bars, and rear rubber cargo liner.
But I think the dealer mixed up some numbers, probably should have been closer to $25K OTD but I'm not complaining. -
badintentions Posts: 4
badintentions Posts: 4Well we did have a trade-in but they over valued it. They initially offered 2K under we owed. After a mix up with the loan we had to rewrite it so we re-negoiated the price and they ended up giving us $2.5K over what we owed for our trade-in. So went from negative $2000 to a positive $2,500 ($4,500 swing) in our favor. On top of that they dropped the price down.
So yes, it wasn't a straight $23.9K OTD but with the over valued trade, it essentially was.
And yes, their initially valuation of our trade was more accurate. No way we should have received $2.5K over what we owed on our own car. We went to multiple dealerships and they offered below or at the initial trade value of $2K under. -

joeinco Posts: 3I'm picking mine up today and for the first time I am going to lease. Getting a Forester premium with All/Weather package and a couple of small options. Only thing down is first payment. Best advice I can give is work a couple of guys against each other and do your shopping over the internet. I still haven't actually picked mine up but I think it should go smooth. I do have a back up and they are within a few bucs of the best deal. I'm not a pro but it seemed like a good deal to me.
12k 42 mo.
Lease payment $273.00 includes tax
Car Price $23167.00 -
buyer157 Posts: 40Hi all -
Quick update. I've received a couple of dealer quotes on a new 2014 forester and have found some variation. Best I've found is in the 27500 range OTD (tax, dmv, etc). This is for a Premium with the all weather package. I'm not trading anything in.
What do you think? Pull the trigger or is 27000 OTD closer to what I should expect to pay?
Should mention for those out of state - NY sales tax is 8.625% -
dlhanson Posts: 6The invoice price less 2% of a 2014 Forester Premium PZEV Automatic CVT with all weather package added is $24,300 (per edmunds.com). Subtract the tax and dmv and your price shouldn't be higher than $24,300.
This is how much you would pay if you used the Subaru VIP program (available if you join several groups -- IMBA is the least expensive at $30 per year --- must be a member for a minimum of 6 months before purchase).
http://www.imba.com/membership/individual/benefits/subaru-vip-program -
carbuyerperson Posts: 1Thanks in advance for the replies/answers to my questions...
There is currently an offer of 1.9% financing for all new 2014 Foresters. I'd much prefer a cash back offer. Does Subaru ever offer cash back incentives in place of low interest rate financing incentives? If so, how often does Subaru switch their promotions? i.e., when/how often should I check back with my local dealers to see if a cash back offer has emerged? -
buyer157 Posts: 40thanks so much for the reply. Really appreciate it. Wish I knew about this option 6 months ago...that would have to count among the best 30$ anyone has ever spent. I'll have to see if any of the dealerships will honor it, but I'm already guessing I know the answer...."gee...we'd like to, but subaru gives us $$$ back to support members of this program. Since you aren't actually a member, we won't get support from Subaru, and so we will actually lose money selling you this car....."
How much truth there is in this statement is unknown, but I'll see what I can do.
Wonder if anyone else had luck with this approach?? -
travvellr Posts: 1I recently got a quote for a 2014 Forester 2.5i Limited using Costco. The car in question also includes (supposedly no charge)
- Dark Gray Metallic Body Side Molding Kit
- Rear Bumper Cover
- Front Side Sill Plate
- Splash Guard Kit
The price quoted is $27392 OTD price is $28581 ($299 doc fee, $822 taxes, $68 tag fee)
I have never had to haggle before and want to know if I can push this any further. -

City takes steps to prevent demolition of Waldorf Hotel
Vision Vancouver councillor Heather Deal has given the strongest indication yet that the historic Waldorf Hotel on East Hastings Street will not be torn down.
"There are quite a few buildings in the city that people have expressed concern about," Deal told the Straight by phone. "But what makes this truly unique is that not only does it have this great history with the longshoremen—and more recently with that 'hipster' crowd—but it also has been renovated beautifully and restored in the interior. And it is fulfilling a need for the future of the area. It's heritage past, but it's also going to be heritage future."
She then added: "It's current. It's restored. It's being operated. It's loved in its current incarnation, and that's not always the case. Like I say, this is not just a piece of our history. It's a piece of our future."
Vancouver city manager Penny Ballem will present a report at the next council meeting on "protecting the Waldorf Hotel", according to a news release issued earlier today by Mayor Gregor Robertson's office.
The mayor "directed" Ballem to do this without a motion from council.
He will also introduce a motion asking staff to meet with Waldorf Productions Inc. to discuss options for continuing an arts and culture venue in Vancouver—including options for continuing at the Waldorf location.
"The Waldorf is both a significant cultural amenity and a major neighbourhood asset, one that resonates with people of all ages throughout Vancouver," Robertson said in the statement. "To lose such a historic building would be a big blow, which is why we need to do what we can to protect it—we need to be building up Vancouver's arts and culture. I want to ensure the Waldorf Hotel is protected and that we don't lose a valuable live performance venue."
According to the news release, the mayor's motion will ask city staff to meet with Waldorf Productions "to discuss their business plan and identify possibilities for continuing an arts and culture venue in Vancouver, including partnerships with other organizations".
The Straight asked Deal if there is any chance that Waldorf Productions might even be granted an opportunity to operate the W2 space in the Woodward's complex.
"Absolutely," she replied, before adding "I can't say we've discussed that. But everything is on the table. We're currently working with all kinds of different groups that are interested in W2, so if they expressed that interest, I'm sure we would work with them."
The W2 Media Arts Society board laid off the executive director, Irwin Oostindie. The city has restricted access to the arts hub after the society fell into financial arrears.
In addition, Robertson's motion will "ask staff to consult with the current and new landowners to see if any accommodations can be made to keep Waldorf Productions on site".
The Solterra Group of Companies issued a news release yesterday stating that the Puharich family continues to be responsible for the hotel, which is owned by Waldorf Hotel Ltd. The Puharich family has four liquor licences on-site.
Solterra, a condo developer, acknowledged that it will eventually take possession of the property.
"We have an open mind about the future of this site and we are studying all the options," Solterra CEO Gerry Nichele said in the statement. "I can say that at this point we certainly have no intention of demolishing the Waldorf Hotel. We want to work with the City to explore possible ways to retain and improve the hotel."
The Straight asked Deal if the city will take steps to require the liquor licences to remain at the Hastings Street location. "That hasn't come up at all," she replied. "I don't think there's any intent to change that at this point."
Meanwhile, Ballem's report will focus on how to stop a demolition permit from being issued—even if a current or future owner files an application. In addition, Ballem will include a "statement of significance" on the 63-year-old hotel's heritage value, according to the mayor's news release.
Waldorf Productions issued a statement expressing gratitude over the "tremendous outpouring of support" from the public, noting that #Waldorf has been trending across Canada on Twitter.
"At present time we are working with Mayor Robertson and the City of Vancouver to protect the Waldorf Hotel," company co-owner Ernesto Gomez said in a news release.
Later in the statement, he added: "The heritage preservation of the hotel is important to us but this massive public reaction is about the destruction of a beloved cultural institution. The creative community of Vancouver is galvanized in its overwhelming support for Waldorf Productions and its creative team. We're in it for the long haul."
He claimed that 60 jobs are at stake and "countless artists, musicians, and independent entrepreneurs are being displaced" if Waldorf Productions ceases operations at the hotel.
Robertson and Waldorf Productions declined the Straight's request for interviews, preferring to make their comments through news releases. Solterra has not responded to the Straight's request for an interview.
The long-time owner of the property, Waldorf Hotel Ltd., also declined the Straight's request for a comment on today's developments.
Earlier this week, Waldorf Hotel Ltd. lawyer Gavin Crickmore told the Straight that it would be "business as usual" at the hotel if the operator vacates the building, as expected, on January 20.
Can you play "count the votes"?
However, W2 is not vacant. The founders, directors, and staff are locked out. The non-payment of strata fees was due to the property management failing to provide services and acting to impede W2's operation in a bid to keep out members of the community they deemed undesirable.
The city is aware of this dispute and that it is as yet unresolved.
I do not speak on behalf of the organization, but for someone with an active interest, the far more nuanced and interesting story is out there. I'd appreciate the Straight not continuing to perpetuate this misleading narrative.
That part is correct, however the city was made aware of the reasons w2 had not the paid the fees prior to staff being locked out. I was just contesting the impression it was solely a monetary issue.
I'm curious where the suggestion came from for the Waldorf production company to occupy that space? They have no mandate there. The organization now locked out had their proposal approved through community consultation and its inclusion was contingent for special considerations granted the developers.
As fantastic as the Waldorf is, their missions are not at all interchangeable. That there was not nearly the uproar over W2's lockout suggests that the clientele it served are quite a bit lower on the totem pole in the vision the city has for going forward.
I see your point that the W2 space would make a beautiful arts and entertainment venue in a prime location, and that Waldorf Productions could do something cool with it that would be more pleasing to the market rate tenants (& Vision).
That space, however, is designated as a community amenity, and the programs run there were / are of a type the Waldorf operators have no experience with.
It can be argued Irwin, Sid, and all weren't fulfilling all of their mandate, but they did a lot with limited resources and support. The property management didn't even allow outside signage! What about the greater part of a million W2 was required to raise independently to complete the space after those monies were redirected to cover overage costs on the social housing?
Anslemi & the rest have played a smart political game. I don't doubt their sincerity but there's a surely strategic element to the way the information came out. It's not the type of move you get from the type of strong-willed activists who operated out of W2. Of course Vision would prefer to have pragmatic center-lefters willing to make deals and play the game down at W2. Waldorf Productions would fit the bill, but there'd be a large portion of the community they do not speak for losing even the future possibility of hearing their voice in that space.
