Just purchased a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon. I LOVE IT!!! I paid $23,170.00. I feel it was a fair deal seeing I was ready to throw 24+ on a 06 WRX. Totally psyched I went with the larger Legacy. I am 6'6" and the WRX was a bit small. I had this car shipped from CT to MA because no one had GT wagon with a 5 speed. I bought the second to last GT wagon 5 speed there was. Mine is black and the last one was red. This car is really hot. THE BEST CAR I HAVE OWNED HANDS DOWN!!!

Lucky duck, you must've got one of the last ones. Is that price correct? Not a typo? Dang...

Raybear your sharp! Your a few steps ahead of me. Dealer says the damage occurred at the plant lot in Lafayette, IN. You know what though, I'm going to be bringing a few tools with me to look for any signs of damage other than wind tomorrow when we pre-inspect the car before signing the paperwork. You bet I'll be looking for any watermarks especially the under door sill plates, I'll take them off and look underneath for any signs of debris. And closely look at the interior for any tell tale signs. And I will sign the purchase contract stating that I have been advised that this is not a katrina special!! Thanks for thinking ahead! We really appreciate the warning we overlooked totally!!!

No typo my friend. Even after trade in (old 92 pathfinder that was falling apart) plus tax and fees I was well under 24k. It was a deal I could not pass. I tried having them trow in a sub or momo shift knob, but they would not budge. Basically they were not making a profit, just moving the last of the 05 models. Honestly though, I am really psyched. This car flies!!!

Probably that's all it was, some minor damage in Lafayette...if the paint warranty is all that's affected then that'll be the case. If they have to slap some funky aftermarket warranty on it you have a problem.

I assume by now you purchased the 06 Leacy Wagon.
The deal sounds excellent (providing it isn't a flood car).
Your paying about the same as I paid for my 05 Legacy Sedan with manual trans. So, your price is $2000 better than mine. Even without the rebate, I figure you're buying at $500 below invoice.
Jump on it!

Hey Jim! Drove this one home on Sunday. The dealer told us that Subaru sold a bunch of these at auction that had the wind damage. They used a special light to look for the paint damaged vehicles that wasn't visible to the naked eye. The paint didn't match their quality control standards so no paint warrenty could be issued. So the title says used vehicle because of the damage. But were happy, we got a new vehicle for a 05 price! Same bumper to bumper warrenty. Thanks for the advice!!
