I'm looking for a sedan with great crash test scores, good fuel economy, a roomy interior (have 2 kids age 3 and 9), and at a reasonable price (around 20k, under if possible). IIHS.org gave it a GOLD rating. EPA rates city 23 and highway 30. EPA passenger vol. 93 cu ft. Are most Legacy's selling around invoice? Has anyone seen an SE with no options? Even at invoice I would be pushing my budget. Was thinking of considering the VW Jetta Value Edition or Honda Civic EX. Should I consider anything else? |

Replying to: luvmbooty (Aug 02, 2006 6:59 am) Civic is a solid choice, but demand is so high some people are paying MSRP. $19,810 at Browns Honda, locally. That's actually more than a Legacy SE locally from fitzmall.com, which runs $19,557 (both automatics). That's crazy. The Civic is a better value below $18k. The Legacy gives you AWD and 17" alloys, plus a moonroof. This is what I call a no-brainer.  -juice

Replying to: luvmbooty (Aug 02, 2006 6:59 am) There should be plenty of SEs with minimal options. I think most will have at least one or two options, but there will be some that have very inexpensive options. I think both the Jetta and Civic are overpriced, and wouldn't look at the Jetta because of reliability history. Civic is a good car, but won't be nearly as upscale or fun to drive as Legacy, and it's hard to get a good deal on one. |

and there are some in Long Island, Bayside, and Bronx (all NY area). It was posted to have one on Staten Island where I live but it must have been sold. I went there today. Seems there are plenty in Jersey, though. White and Atlantic Blue exterior aren't too popular. More of those. Just a few Black and a little more Silver. I already own a 2006 Toyota RAV4 with Silver exterior so I think I'd rather have the Black. Many of the MSRPs are listed as $23,840. Anyone know what the options might be? I could get this one under $20k, right?

Replying to: luvmbooty (Aug 02, 2006 9:27 pm) $23,840 MSRP is about $500 over base SE MSRP, so I'll guess security system upgrade, autodimming mirror w/compass, splashguards and all-weather rubber floormats (which are in addition to the standard carpeted mats), which add up to $512 retail price and are all commonly installed options. Invoice for those options is about $330, FYI. You can find '06 Legacy options and their MSRP and invoice here: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/legacy/legacy2006.html#options |
