Replying to: yotr (Feb 21, 2009 10:24 pm) Congrats on your new ride. It sounds like you got a great deal. Paying $23K would have been crazy. You can get a Limited for less than that. I think you'll find that these cars are pretty durable. One thing that sold me (we own two '08s) was the large number of older Subarus on the streets in my area. I'm not sure I agree with you about interior fit and finish (Honda still does a really fine job, although Subaru is very good), but on the outside, the Subaru's paintwork rivals cars that cost thousands more. Now that you're part of the club, you should check in regularly on the Subaru forums here and at legacygt.com. Lots of great advice available from other owners.

My salesperson basically told the finance guy ahead of time that I was on a budget and to just get me out of there as quickly as possible. I was shocked as I have never had a salesperson let alone a finance guy do this. It's usually a battle to see if you will cave and buy the extended warranty.

Replying to: longislander1 (Feb 22, 2009 8:24 am) Honestly I would have agreed with you on the Honda interior being better than the Subaru if I was going by the previous honda's I have owned. Honda missed a step with the newly redesigned Accord. It's way to big and is a shell of it's former self (I had the last gen version also which was a fantastic car). It was also the only Honda I have ever owned that had nearly a dozen rattles/creaks within a couple of weeks. My friend also has an 08 Accord (coupe) and has the same issue with his interior. Couple that with seats that are very uncomfortable and a loud engine and you have a car that barely resembles the Accord I held in such high regard. It's not a bad car but I can honestly say it is the first honda I was genuinely disappointed in. By reading other posts in the Honda forums, I am not the only one that thought that. Also, I don't know if Honda changed their paint recently but I have never had so many issues keeping a car swirl mark free. It was a magnet for them. If the Subaru holds up, my wife and I will be looking toward a Forester in a couple of years as a replacement to our ever aging GMC Envoy.

you guys sound like you know what you're talking about. could you guys give me your opinion on this dealer's offer? is he being straight up?   2008 Subaru legacy 2.5 GTLimited. current options it has installed are: * All Weather Floor Mats * Auto-Dimming Mirror w/Compass * Off Black Center Armrest Extension   Out the door would be $30,300. 0% for 2 years.   It's a test drive car with about 40 miles on it.   Given the economic climate, you think he could do better?   Thanx for any info!

Replying to: yotr (Feb 22, 2009 3:07 pm) Our 09 Legacy Ltd is also Satin Pearl...We just love the color, too!   As to the non-pressure, methinks they just wanted to sell you a car, and saw this as the way to do it.   Congrats.

Replying to: crapshoot (Feb 22, 2009 3:56 pm) Sounds high to me...when we were shopping, they had several 08 GTs at $27-28k OTD....but it does all depend on your local market. Replies to this message: crapshoot (Feb 22, 2009 5:32 pm) robsis (Feb 22, 2009 8:03 pm) crapshoot (Feb 23, 2009 8:14 am)

Replying to: crapshoot (Feb 22, 2009 5:32 pm) Well, I'm in Flagstaff, AZ and Subies are at a premium here due to the AWD; however, the GTs with their requirement of premium fuel are a little down as our fuel prices here are pretty high.....and that price you were quoted just seemed waaaay out of line, expecially considering that there are still 08's around at all...   Good luck in your quest.....(BTW, the HK stereo and the dark carpet are great reasons to get an 09!)

#710 of 777 First Time Subaru Buyer by dascud Mar 07, 2009 (10:49 am)
Hi,   We are thinking of starting a family soon and wanted to get a 4 door sedan to replace my old & trustworthy Mazda Protege. My other car is a 325ci so we definitely need a 4 door. I have been looking around at 328i/330i CPOs, c300s and volvo S80s which are very attractively priced now given the state of the economy.   A subaru legacy was not even in my radar until I saw one at a local dealer. This is a 2008 3.0R with Navigation and has 6300 Miles on it. The dealer was asking for $23999 and with just basic negotiation I have the price down to $22000 + TTL.   This seems like a good deal on a well optioned car but the styling and looks hasnt blown me over and my wife seems quite prejudiced over the exterior. I have asked her to go on a test drive before she makes up her mind.   I know the other cars on my list do not really compete with the legacy esp given the AWD but I am in Norcal and the AWD is not that useful to us. I am going to go and TD the car again but is there anything I need to know that may tilt the balance one way or the other and also help convince my wife.   DaScud Replies to this message: longislander1 (Mar 07, 2009 11:21 am) dascud (Mar 08, 2009 8:17 am) longislander1 (Mar 08, 2009 8:53 am)
