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?

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 20, 2006 9:17 am) 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 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

Hey all, After a long hiatus from Subaru-land, I am back, after trading in an 04 Mazda3s with the automatic. Juice, I've seen your opinions on the 2.3/w/auto, that was apparently binned out from Ford: what a horrible experience. We got stranded (nearly bucked of I-25) in Castle Rock, between Denver and C. Springs a few weeks back. That in a car with less than 13000 miles on it! Egads. So it's back to a good, trusty Subaru - a 2006 Red Legacy GT with about $1k in options, out the door for $26,700.00 - not bad, considering the performance. And yes, it's a slushbox, but given my urban commute, worth it. Cheers and howdy to all. - Perrito

I bought Silver Legacy Sedan 2006 2.5i Special Edition for 20270 + 125 paperwork fee on Dec 31. Great car, the only problem that got me in trouble is the VIN number. The first 7 chars - 4S3BL62 are the same for both Special Edition and Limited (both dealership and SOA confirmed that). Limited is fully loaded and costs $3300 more. Both my insurance company and DMV registered my car as Limited and happily charged me more in premiums. Paperwork from the dealership stating the model as SE is not taken into account. I actually tried to argue my case at DMV, and got an official letter from them stating that I own a Limited. Backed up with paperwork they got from one of the VIN lookup shops. According to which Subaru only makes 2.5i (4S3BL61) and Limited (4S3BL62). SE does not exist. Checked all online VIN lookups like Carfax, etc - my car comes up as Limited everywhere, so I guess it's across board. Does anyone else get into the same kind of trouble?
