Replying to: ddburns (Feb 24, 2008 7:09 pm) Can you post the price you paid? Agree with your post...I thought the Altima was more comfortable but the Legacy drove better and gives you a lot for your money. I was in Utah this week and it is amazing how many people have Subaru's compared to Long Island.

Replying to: jmpage2 (Feb 25, 2008 8:54 am) I believe the Legacy will get a major redesign for the 2010 model year. My salesman confirmed that when he said they change every 5 years. I'm guessing they'll be introduced about a year from now. That was the pattern for the revised '09 Forester, which, I believe, is just being introduced about now. If there are any facelifts to the '09 Legacy, they'll probably be minor. You can also go to cars101.com and ask the site's host, Joe Spitz, what he's heard.

Replying to: longislander1 (Feb 25, 2008 10:27 am) Thanks for the info. My wife's current car is leased so unfortunately the choices are buy hers out at the end of the lease (and she doesn't want to do that) or lease/buy something new for her by May.   My primary concern was that the '09 MY would come out around the May timeframe and it would become difficult to still get an '08 in the color/options that she wanted. My experience with other manufacturers is that they will let inventory get very lean right up until the new ones come out, so that they don't have to offer as many incentives.

Replying to: hackd (Feb 19, 2008 11:44 am) You will be happy to know we got the same price as I purchased the below today for $22,900. I basically contacted all the Long Island dealers for about a week and going lower then this price was not happening. Your info helped to at least get a target point for what I knew was a good price. Like you it was actually nice to buy from a dealership that didn't have rock music blasting and a sales manager coming over trying to close the deal. I chose over the Altima SL basically due to the safety of AWD and the handling...car has some attitude when pushed which is rare for this kind of segment.   Subaru Legacy Limited w/VDC Diamond Grey Arm Rest Extension Auto Dimming Mirror/Compass Splash Guards All Weather Floor Mats Replies to this message: ateixeira (Feb 28, 2008 8:42 am) longislander1 (Feb 28, 2008 9:16 am) hackd (Feb 28, 2008 10:59 am) ldxk (Jul 07, 2008 4:01 pm)

Replying to: hackd (Feb 27, 2008 5:51 pm) Congrats. Great price for all that equipment.   Some friends of mine bought an Altima and let me drive it. I liked it, but the seats seemed very low to the ground. Visibility wasn't as good as I'm used to.

Replying to: hackd (Feb 27, 2008 5:51 pm) You actually did a bit better because you also got the splash guards and mats. That's about $130 if you buy them aftermarket.   I agree with you about the power. At first, I thought the car was a little underpowered and that I'd just have to deal with it to get the gas mileage. Now that I'm a little more used to the gearing (and have adapted my driving style to it), I'm really fine with the 170hp and rarely need to use the sport mode. The only issue I have is wind buffeting and a little loss of stability at higher speeds. On other forums, some have suggested upgrading the front end bushings. I'm going to talk to the service manager about that, since they also do suspension mods.   Best of luck with yours. Did you end up at North Coast?

Replying to: longislander1 (Feb 28, 2008 9:16 am) I stayed local...Huntington. I am coming from a 2001 Protege ES so this car won't require any modifications for me. I will let this car spoil me so I can find faults in my next one down the line.   Question...I want to add the Sirius radio but even though the car is pre-wired they still want to charge $450 to put it in. I called a local car audio place who confirmed Subaru must install if pre-wired. Were you given a quote or know if other dealers may charge less?

Replying to: hackd (Feb 27, 2008 5:51 pm) hackd, is the $22900 before or after ttl price of your legacy limited?

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 02, 2003 7:01 am) Using the automatic sportshift will result in increased wear and tear? Or are you just saying that because you'll be using engine compression and higher tachs since you're in control of the transmission?   Also, anyone heard anything good/bad/otherwise about Lynnes' Nissan Subaru of Bloomfield, NJ? Their sales agent I spoke to was kind of stumbling (told me the 2009 Legacy wouldn't be out till October, wrong!), but their prices seemed to be on the better side as I left the dealership (manager offered to get the 08 Legacy 2.5i SE down into the 19's before tax/title/delivery/etc) Replies to this message: just_phil (Jul 11, 2008 1:40 pm)

Replying to: pilot1226 (Jul 11, 2008 9:24 am) I had a rather negative experience at Lynnes. I made an appointment to test drive the car, but when I showed up, the saleswoman wasn't there. Another one offered her help, but the car was on the showroom floor, with the dead battery. Anyway, since I was serious about buying it, I insisted on driving it. Then she came with a '.. sorry, we only have 3 sets of tags, and all 3 are out right now, so we can't test drive it...' nonsense. Also, their invoice price included destination charge twice, to which they wouldn't admit. Two days later I got the same car (except black interior rather than white) from Lucas Subaru in Avenel (not that that was a perfect transaction, but you didn't ask about Lucas ).
