#312 of 771 Factory-used cars by yoga May 11, 2006 (8:09 pm)
A dealer in New York has a large inventory of two types of vehicles that I might be interested in: 1) 2005 Legacys and Outbacks that were slightly used by the factory as demos. They have around 3k miles. Not sure of the warranty. 2) 2006 Legacys and Outbacks that were scratched or otherwise slightly physically damaged due to wind. These all have less than 10 miles and come with full factory warranty.   I am interested in one of these and wondering if anybody has any experience with a vehicle like these. I will be seeing them over the weekend and hoping to get somebody else's opinions (both optimists and pessimists welcome). Thanks in advance.

Replying to: yoga (May 11, 2006 8:09 pm) I'm familiar with both. The demos are usually executive cars with 3-5K on the odometer. You lose warranty time and miles but may be able to make it up with a discounted extended warranty. Dealer cost is generally $1,000 less than new, about 20 cents per mile.   The wind-damaged cars are just that, wind damage on the paint voids that part of the warranty only, otherwise they're new. You'll want to have a close look at whatever you buy. These cars were purchased at auction so the dealer may have saved as much as $3,000+ on the vehicle. I've seen cars from these auctions that had little or no noticeable damage.

Replying to: yoga (May 11, 2006 8:09 pm) If I could get a $3000 discount I'd be all over those. That would be sweet. Who cares about a paint warranty? Give my kids 2 days and the paint is already imperfect.   -juice

Replying to: yoga (May 11, 2006 8:09 pm) Thanks for the replies. The savings is absolutely immense and potentially irresistable to pass up.

Replying to: yoga (May 11, 2006 8:09 pm) I am interested in one of these deals. Can you furnish the dealership name and city of the dealer in New York? Replies to this message: raybear (May 19, 2006 2:49 am) jchagtdi (May 19, 2006 3:50 am) yoga (May 19, 2006 7:18 pm) raybear (May 22, 2006 3:38 am)

Replying to: obscurant (May 18, 2006 2:45 pm) There's more than one dealer with these cars. Do a search on Autotrader and you'll find a few of them. Another round of 2005 Outbacks were just auctioned off. Replies to this message: jchagtdi (May 19, 2006 3:50 am)

Replying to: raybear (May 19, 2006 2:49 am) Try Becker Subaru in Allentown, PA. I don't know how they can sell their vehicles so cheaply. I recently purchased a 2006 Legacy 2.5SE SDN 5 speed manual for $19,100. They advertise in the Allentown Morning Call paper with prices changing weekly. Last week prices were:   Forester X manual $17,999 Legacy 2.5SE SDN manual $19,600 Outback 2.5 manual $21,500   The first dealer I visited (closests to my home)wanted to sell me an '06 Legacy with 5000 miles for $500 off sticker. What a joke! I drove down to Becker and took delivery the same day.   Excellent dealer to do business with. If calling or emailing, reference the Ad in the Morning Call.   PS: If going with the 5 speed, I STRONGLY suggest the Momo short throw shifter availble through the dealer. It gives the car a much better, more sporty driving feel. It make shifting fun, rhather than a chore with the OEM gear shift.

Replying to: obscurant (May 18, 2006 2:45 pm) Curry Subaru in New York (Yorktown Heights) has been advertising on the radio lately about the 2006 wind-damage deals.   About those 2005 Outbacks, it is true that there are a bunch of 2005 Outbacks out there that were previously Hertz Rentals (& possibly other rental agencies.) I found this out by telephone calls. Replies to this message: raybear (May 22, 2006 3:38 am)

Replying to: yoga (May 19, 2006 7:18 pm) I'm pretty sure that most of the 2005's are Hertz cars. They seem to be in very good shape mechanically with a few dings, bumper scratches and the interiors need cleaning.
