#579 of 2758 L.L. Bean to good to pass up? by dognut Mar 07, 2005 (8:27 am)
Planning on waiting for the updated 06 this summer. Stopped by a dealer Sun. and saw a 05 LLBean on the lot. Decided to give it a ride. MSRP is $27,000. No extras added. Manager wants to unload and will sell it to me for $22,450. What to do, what to do?????????? Isn't this deal to good to pass up? Or should I wait for what I would really love--a new 06? How much more do you think this would end up costing me? When do you think they will appear on the lots? Thanks for your opinions.

Usually a new model year will cost about $1500 extra for a while, definitely past the time the current year models are gone.   Go for the bargain, the changes seem minor.   -juice

The Subaru web site shows that LL Bean vehicles have a Starting Price more than $32K. How is this one $27K and seling for $22.5K?   I would love to buy one for under $25K.   Jim

$32k must be an Outback LL Bean, that's an H6 engine and a different vehicle entirely. They sell for close to $30k.   $27k is probably the MSRP for the Forester LL Bean, loaded up. Subtract rebates and go to invoice-level prices and you might get to $22.5k I guess.   -juice

Dewey Griffin Subaru in Bellingham, WA gave me this quote:   $20,231.15 (including rebate) for a manual tranny 2005 Forester X pretty much loaded: premium speakers, tweeters, subwoofer/amplifier, cd changer, differential protector, armrest extension, crossbars, side cargo nets, tow hitch, all-weather mats, and cargo tray.   I feel like this is a good quote, provided they treat me right on my trade. Am I correct? Replies to this message: forestercurt (Mar 11, 2005 12:33 pm)

My bad. Should read the title of the thread.
#585 of 2758 Another quote--LLBEAN at $22,450 by dognut Mar 09, 2005 (7:52 am)
Went to another dealer and got the exact same quote. Now I think I'll wait a month or two and see how far they come down just before the 06 appears! Any guesses if they drop the price another thousand? Replies to this message: p0926 (Mar 09, 2005 8:21 pm) dognut (Mar 15, 2005 8:27 am) once_for_all (Mar 15, 2005 8:59 am)

Replying to: dognut (Mar 09, 2005 7:52 am) A lot depends on how many are left on the lot. If there's only a couple then I wouldn't count on it. Also, once they sell that's it, so if you've got your eye on I'd go ahead and get it.   -Frank Replies to this message: dognut (Mar 15, 2005 8:27 am) once_for_all (Mar 15, 2005 8:59 am)
#587 of 2758 LL Bean by ateixeira Mar 10, 2005 (10:17 am)
Checked the local dealer and that's right on target, I doubt you'll do significatly better than that.   -juice

Replying to: kesserendrel (Mar 08, 2005 12:40 pm) Yes that is a good deal. I get any Sub at Invoice due to VIP Pricing. The X model is the loss leader model for dealers which means they can sell them below invoice sometimes. I got an 05 X with Auto and 500-600 worth of extra options that they usually comes with the armrest/muffler ect for 19.2K. The X has rear drums and no posi in the back as the XS has, the auto climate control on the XS/XT seems to be problematic so I don't miss that. I like the lower body sections NOT being painted, easy cleanup and no damage worries. The X is also lighter than the other models and gets better gas mileage. I would have liked 4 wheel disc brakes but for commuter car the X rocks. The turbo is way underrated on HP it has about the same as the Legacy GT=250HP not 210 but the mileage is way low but performance is unbelievable at 5.3 to 60, that spanks most sports cars, if you can live with the crappy gas mileage get an XT.
