That Carsdirect price does sound cheap. I bought a '03 LE wagon, 5spd (which I really wanted), with a couple of goodies. It stickered for around 22.4 and I got it for about 19.5. I live in Indy, but made the purchase outside Cincy. This was back in June.   On Subaru's web site, I searched out the SEs that had the color my wife wanted (Sea Mist Green) and reasonable option packages. I then submitted a requested quotes. Some dealers are more motivated than others.   I was happy to drive a couple of hours to save a grand. Plus, the dealer was a straight shooter, not a BSer like the local ones I dealt with.   We absolutely love the car!!
#8 of 777 I thought carsdirect.com was cheap... by cracovian Aug 04, 2003 (9:20 am)
...until I saw Subaru dealer ads in Atlanta Journal Constitution this past weekend. For example, the slow-selling SE sedan with manual tranny: $16377 - talk about a deal!   It's a shame they include no incentives for these cars in Indiana, the place where they're all made!!! Kinda sad...   As a sidenote, I was passing through Indiana a couple of months ago and I have to admit there are tons of Subarus on the road there...

cracovian, what is really strange is the Lafayette dealer, he claims to be the biggest Subaru dealer in the state of Indiana. Lafayette is the city where the Subarus are built. Anyway, those folks did not want to deal much at all. When I responded to their intense pressure, by telling them what other dealers were doing, they acted like I was nuts.   As far as Atlanta, I wouldn't think there to be much demand for an AWD vehicle.
#10 of 777 wow... by cracovian Aug 04, 2003 (8:11 pm)
andrewk, there's no reason to overpay for any car in this economy, and especially Subarus that don't sell well at all... even Lexus and MB C-class sell below invoice these days. Why don't you give a couple of our dealers a call (Royal in Decatur and some other one in Gwinnett are big and will deal with no problems) and pick it up down here? Like I said, they only have SEs in stock but they sell really cheap, so why not? You could break it in on the slopes of Tennessee
#11 of 777 00 GT Wagon by radian Aug 07, 2003 (2:44 pm)
Just bought a used 2000 Legacy GT wagon (28K miles, black, auto, loaded) on ebay from a reputable dealer. I wasn't even really looking for one (just some sort of newer Subaru wagon), but it was too good to pass up. Could have had a red 2002 Outback (with less than 20K miles, auto but nothing else) instead for about the same price ($15100), but decided that Legacy GT would be more exciting and enjoyable to drive (6-disc changer doesn't hurt).   I used to own a black 2002 OBS until it was totalled last week (smashed from behind by a large moving truck). I would still recommend one of those as well, but I also wanted to try something a little different. I looked at 2002 OBS's and WRX's, 2000-2002 Outbacks, and 2000-2002 Legacy GTs. Very hard to find a GT wagon around Michigan for some reason, which is why mine is from NY.   So far the dealership experience has been very positive (with the dealer I found the GT from). I've gotten quite used to talking to dealers on the phone over the past week. Been looking at a ton of online ads and making lots of calls. I have found dealers are not very open to talking price over the phone, though I didn't really try playing them against each other at all. It's also fun knowing more about the cars than most of the dealers.

A 2000 with only 28k miles? That's great! I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Congrats!

Yeah, congratulations. Sorry about the OBS getting hit. Welcome back, I guess.   -juice
#14 of 777 2003 Legacy L Special Edition in Bourne, Ma. by cinemod Aug 16, 2003 (8:48 pm)
Just purchased today for 19,200 (750 rebate included). It was difficult to get the proper TMV as the Special edition options weren't all included. (Maybe I was just tired :^) ) 4-Speed Automatic: $800   Special Edition Package: $900   Dual Power Moonroofs 16-Inch Alloy Wheels Projector Beam Halogen Fog Lights Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel / Shift Knob   Popular Equipment Group 1: $336   Carpeted Floor Covers - Gray Cross Bar Kit Splash Guards   MSRP was $23,239.00   Did I do okay? (this is replacing a '92 Legacy LE with ~250K miles. Purchased for $15K)   best regards, cinemod

Quarter million miles is sweet. Let's hope the new one lasts as long.   Yes, I think your price was good. Is that a sedan or wagon? Still, you couln't get a FWD Accord or Camry with the same content for that much. Think of it as getting AWD for free.   -juice
#16 of 777 Legacy price by groverc Aug 18, 2003 (8:30 am)
I think your price is awesome! That's way better than I did on my sedan. How did you manage to get more than $4,000 off? I think that is like $2,000 less than invoce. Is there a factory to dealer incentive in your area?   Good job!
