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.

Locally, I've found a new XT OB as much as $4500 below MSRP, but most I've seen are going for  $3250 below (all have ATs, though). What part of the country are you in?

Replying to: gwnorth (Jan 22, 2008 6:09 am) The '09s will be on dealers lots soon. I suspect that if you bought an '08 XT Ltd 5MT from Carter Subaru in Seattle (they have four per their website - blue, black, white, & red) and had it shipped, you'd still do better than the current offer (& would get it sooner). Also, I can't imagine that the price on the '09s will be THAT much higher to justify this price. But you can do better in New England, too. Just browsing around, I see that Maine Mall Subaru's website shows an '08 XT Ltd 5MT in Newport Blue Pearl with a $28,700 MSRP. So does Manchester Subaru in NH (MSRP $28,540). Heck, I see that Keene Subaru in Keene, NH has an '08 XT Ltd. AT for $26,687 (sales price) - and an AT adds $1000 to the price of a Forester. The website of TriCity Subaru in Somersworth, NH, shows an Obsidian Black Pearl '08 XT Ltd. 5MT with MSRP of $28,767) in inventory. Ditto Village Subaru in Acton, MA - Aspen White '08 XT Ltd. 5MT - MSRP $28,540. Ditto Planet Subaru in Hanover, MA (Obsidian Black) - site shows '08 XT Ltd. 5MT MSRP $28,582 and invoice of $26,994. Ditto Bertera Subaru in W. Springfield, MA (Steel Silver) - site shows MSRP '08 XT Ltd. 5MT $29,517 and invoice of $27,586 (includes tinted windows). I found still more '08 XT Ltd. 5MTs at various Subaru dealers in NY state - all with MSRPs under $29K. My point - if you don't want to wait for an '09, buy (for less) from a dealer in New England that has one in stock! Fax all the dealers that have what you want and ask for their best DELIVERED price (excluding tax, title & license, but including any dealership fees). They compete, you win. |
