2005 legacy gt limited wagon - manual trans - OTD price? by thatmaker

On the bubble btwn a 2005 gt lmtd wagon w/5 speed (11K miles) and a 2006 gt limited sedan. I'd prefer the wagon, but the price is too close to a new 06 sedan to make the mileage hit worth it:
05 wagon: 25895
06 sedan: 26517 (carsdirect)
 
I'm in Redmond, WA, and am wondering what I should expect for an OTD price on the 05 after negotiations...or if the 06 price is the better choice (the extra space in the wagon is nice to have, but not a necessity).

I've seen a new 2005 GT Limited Automatic advertised for $24,209 so that one may be a bit overpriced.

Figure the wagon is worth a grand extra. I doubt you'll ever regret having the extra space.

Dont know if I really got a good price.
Car: 2006 Subaru Legacy Sedan, Limited.
Extras: spoiler, dimming mirror & splash guards. none of them
I wanted. So am not going to count them into the invoice
price.
 
Edmunds invoice (including destination charge) 23,947.
Subaru incentive 1000$. Actual price paid: 23,200.
Works out to 253$ over invoice.
(If you include these extras, it works out to $257 below invoice).
 
What kind of deal I got?
Good, Bad or Ugly?

Extras count, absolutely. You paid $257 under, which means the dealer basically gave you most of the holdback.
 
You robbed the bank, and should even feel a little bit of guilt!

I am glad I did not over pay.
I really dont mind the dealer making profits, even tons
of profit. My peer group is other internet savvy consumers.
If I end up paying a lot more compared to them then I
look like an idiot. That was my worry
Looks like I got a good deal for that day.
 
[Just a week after my purchase, Subaru is advertising
"upto" 2000$ cash back . Dont know if it is for 2005 or
2006, for all s or for selected s.]
 
Will post a comment on buying experience soon.

I'm not certain but I *think* that's $1000 off plus $1000 in savings on the SE package.

There's still the $2000 rebate on 2005's.

I am considering two wagons. 2.5 limited and 2.5 special edition. I want to have fog lights and heated seats. They are available as an option and as an after market item at a total cost of $900-950 on the special edition This makes the cost difference between the two wagons a little over $900. I have heard so many bad things about the automatic AC do I really want to spend the extra money and get leather seats and AC that has problems? Any suggestions. Thanks. allan

I rely a lot on the aftermarket, personally. I installed a lot of things after the purchase - cruise, 6CD changer, moonroof, trailer hitch, etc. No problems here, and the cost is often less.
 
Be aware that you might not get it all back at resale, but if you keep it a long time that should not matter much.
