2008 i Ltd w/ VDC w/ some extras by senthilk

I got a 2008 2.5 i Ltd w/ VDC (27695.00) + Equip Group 1D (381.00) + Center Armrest Extension (163) + Floor Mats (55)
 
for 26172.20 all included out of the door (tax in CO is 7.4 %)
 
I thought it was a reasonably good deal. The dealer was Heuberger Motors in Colorado Springs and the salesguy was Josh Slead who is pretty good.
 
I did the deal in person.

We had to go automatic because of potential babysitters driving.
 
Haha, if babysitters will be driving it, you definitely do not want a turbo!

I bought at Heuberger Motors in CO springs too. You got a little better
deal than mine. I am from Boulder area. I tried with one local dealer
and called up Heuberger Motors. Their first quote itself is better
than my local dealer. I didn't even negotiate as I knew the quote is
a good one. I am curious. Did you negotitate ? Based on your tax rate,
you must be from CO Springs area. My car is 3.0R LL Bean.

They did quote me earlier on a different car. That quote was quite good too.
 
When I actually purchased the car I did not even ask for a quote and simply offered 4.4k below MSRP (ignoring the destination charge). I finally got about 4.3k below.
 
I did not really negotiate. I love to negotiate and the salesman must have seen the look of determination on my face and pretty much gave me what I wanted.
 
Yes, I am in the COS area. Loving my car ! Quite a joy to drive it around.

2003 Subaru Outback Purchase by ecycled

Ok. I'm new to Subaru but am looking at purchasing a used 2003 Subaru Outback from a local dealership in Salt Lake City, UT. Car has had two owners and according to a VIN number check (Carfax) it looks OK. Mileage is just under 79k. Asking mid $12k range. Any thoughts on this car? Anything to look for when I test drive in next few days? Thanks.

By 03 the head gasket issue was resolved, for the most part, but check these items anyway:
 
* inspect both head gaskets for oil stains
* inspect both valve cover gaskets
* inspect the front and rear main seals
 
Drive it, and listen for any drivetrain noises, turn off the radio and open the windows. Listen for noises from the differentials or the wheel bearings, common problem areas in past Subies.
 
If it's smooth, and the engine block is free of any signs of oil leaks, I'd buy it.

Listen for piston slap as well. Apparently it is not a longevity issue (though I have my doubts about that), but it sure is noisy and embarrassing. If it is present, you will not be able to miss it on start up, especially if the engine is cold.

I live in MA and work in NH. I will pay the MA sales tax at the RMV when I register the vehicle.

08 XT w/MT by gwnorth

Hi,
I have been lurking a while here and had a quick question on pricing on an 08XT. I am interested in one with a manual transmission and have found one that is considered "pre-owned" on a dealer lot, even though an 08, and I am trying to get an idea on how close they are with pricing. On the website is lists 12 miles and for options it looks like it has the following:
  6 Disc CD Changer
  Air Conditioning
  Alloy Wheels
  AM/FM Stereo Radio
  Anti-Lock Braking System
  Center Arm Rest
  Center Storage Console
  Child Seat System
  Climate Control
  Clock
  Compact Disc Player
  Cruise Control
  Cup Holders
  Driver Side Air Bag
  Driver Side Remote Mirror
  Dual Climate Control
  Fog Lights
  Fold Down Rear Seat
  Front Bucket Seats
  Glass Moonroof
  Heated Outside Mirror (s)
  Heated Seat
  Keyless Entry
  Luggage Rack
  Maintenance Free Battery
  Map Lights
  Panic Alarm Feature
  Passenger Side Air Bag
  Power Brakes
  Power Door Locks
  Power Driver's Seat
  Power Passenger Seat
  Power Socket
  Power Windows
  Premium Sound System
  Protective Fender Trim
  Protective Side Moldings
  Rear Arm Rest
  Rear Defroster
  Rear Power Window
  Rear Window Wiper
  Rich Leather Upholstery
  Security System
  Side Air Bag System
  Steering Wheel Controls
  Tachometer
  Tilt Steering Wheel
  Trip Odometer
  Vanity Mirror
  XM Satellite Radio
They are listing it for $31,245 and I was trying to get a feel on what the true value of this car might be. This appears to be a great site and any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks, Mark
