Replying to: mangud (Jan 02, 2008 8:23 pm) 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. |

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. Edward

Replying to: ecycled (Jan 03, 2008 4:21 pm) * 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.

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 |

I've had mine (1996 Outback) for about 2 months. When I bought it, it needed an axle, four tires, an air filter, and that was it. It's a bit rough over bumps, indeed, but it doesn't complain too much around corners, or about going faster. Save that, wonderful car, worth the $1700 I paid for it.

Has anyone heard any prices paid for an '07 2.5i with 10k miles or less? Dealers quote about 20k but I'm thinking more like 18k. Any thoughts appreciated.
