Just bought my first Subaru ever. I've been a Honda/Toyota guy for years but wanted an AWD car w/ great safety features and some toys too. It came w/ spoiler and compass/mirror and some add ons. I added splash guards and armrest extension. MSRP was $26,808. In South Jersey, dealers are giving $2,000 rebate and 0% financing for 24 months during June- never got a deal with both before! With 6% Jersey sales tax, tags, $1,500 trade in for a car w/ 140,000 miles, my bottom line price for the Legacy was $22,888. Most painless deal ever. Only had it a little more than a week- it handles like a toy. No observable defects  Hope the service dept. equals the buying experience. I just may now be a Subaru only guy.

If it was written off as a total loss, I'm skeptical about the claim of light damage. A lot can be hidden by a thorough detail job. With a funky title, even without the funky smell, it could be trouble. I would make sure you can get it financed and that you can get full coverage insurance for it. TMV on a certified, no stories '05 is 21K. TMV in "rough" condition, which means problems but clean title is 16,700. If you decide to take this on, I would want a much steeper discount for your hassle. You might see if your insurance agent could help you estimate what its worth. An insurance company probably has more experience dealing with cars of this kind than anyone else. |

All, I've been reading your messages for a few months now - and have found them a huge help. Here are my figures now: Cash Price of Car: 24495 Trade In: 3500 Tax: 1417.17 Title & Fees: 15 Total Due: 22427.17 Rebate: 2000 Final Amount: 20427.17 This car is the Legacy 2.5i Limited Sedan + the all-weather floor mats and auto-dimming rear-view mirror with homelink. I also got the 0.0% for 24 months, but instead opted for the 4.9% for up to 72 months (I took it at 60 months though). Hope this helps you all. I love this car. |

Are there any Canadian members here with buying experience to share? A friend is considering a 2.5i auto sedan in Vancouver, BC. Too bad invoice info is hard to come by in Canada. Thanks! |

Replying to: yogiowner (Jun 18, 2006 12:54 pm) If you're shooting for $20k, I'd say go for the Special Edition instead. No leather, but it comes with plenty of goodies and a bigger $2000 rebate. We just purchased an Atlantic Blue Pearl Legacy SE sedan for $18,900 (about $3500 below invoice) from Carter Subaru in Seattle. Comes with AC, power everything, CD, moonroof, power driver's seat, etc. We added subwoofer/amp and all-weather mats. Happy hunting and good luck! |

Replying to: jeffmc (Jun 24, 2006 11:49 pm) Warranty is a big concern though. From the website, it indicates that all warranty services must be done by dealer in the US... I still remember the exchange rate was ~0.6 only 4 years ago... and now it is >0.9. People were importing cars from Canada back then. The tide has changed.

Replying to: jskho (Jun 26, 2006 6:49 am) My wife and I used to vacation in B.C. because it was a good deal. Now it's slightly more expensive than travelling in the States, I think, but we like it so much we still travel there regularly. |

Replying to: jskho (Jun 22, 2006 8:07 am) MSRP C$30394 Wholesale C$27757 Negotiated price C$29357 All these numbers include C$1495 freight and PDI as well as C$100 A/C excise tax. Can probably get another C$200 lower but it is hard to negotiate price in Canada. I know, you can easily get this car for $20k in the US but warranty and trade in makes this option unfavorable. Also the SE package costs C$699 in Canada but only $300 in the US. Got very good price on the trade-in though.
