My brother wants a Subaru Legacy Wagon, leather interior, 2005-2007 with 30K mile or less. He is willing to pay for it and apparently he will have to b/c there just ain't many on the market that meet his criteria. He is in Wisconsin and the car mentioned above is at Carmax South of Baltimore. I test drive it today and it is in good condition, some minor scratches, scrapes on leather in 1-2 places etc. Drives well, tires are ok but are good for 1-2 years depending on he he drives it. Well, the stats: 28,000 Miles. Manual transmission. Leather interior on the LTD. Heated seats. That ugly Suby light green exterior and tan interior. AWD (I guess it goes without saying). Massive sunroof, skylight which opens is more like it. Carmax wants $18,000 for it and he would have to get it shipped to Wisconsin for another $450. I paid for the consumer reports pricing (They said $14,000 from dealer) and checked Edmunds (up to $15,000 from dealer). I told him I thought it was a buy before I checked the pricing and it seems like Carmax is really gouging on this one but maybe they are just hard to find used with low miles. Thoughts? |

A reporter from a large national newspaper would like to talk to consumers whose reasons for purchasing cars have changed. In the past, their car might have been the primary reflection of their personality, but now they are basing their purchases on other factors -- cost, features, the environment, etc. If you are interested in speaking to the reporter, please contact ctalati edmunds.com no later than January 12, 2009.
