#506 of 2119 Looking to buy Used OB: Is Older w/ Less Mileage better than Newer w/ More? by jensreid Apr 28, 2005 (11:13 am)
I am looking to buy a Subaru OB wagon. The two options I'm looking at are:    1. 98 OB 53K for $10,900 2. 03 OB 79K for $12,500    The 03 was a sales car w/ all highway miles and regular check ups 30 & 60, as well as oil change every 3.    Not much history on the 98- its being sold by a dealer so has had a through inspection.    The question is: Is it better to get an older car w/ lower mileage or a newer car w/ higher?   (Currently I drive a 93 Legacy Sedan w/ 140K...so high miles doesn't scare me as much.)    Your thoughts would be appreciated.    Thanks.

Replying to: jensreid (Apr 28, 2005 11:13 am) Prices look way too high.   my OB H4 2001 with only 34k miles, good condition, i have it on sale for only $13,000. Compared to this, the prices you were quoted are very high ! Replies to this message: sadlo (May 18, 2005 4:12 pm) sweet_subie (May 20, 2005 4:55 pm)

Buy hers. LOL   Between those two I'd go for the 2003, because that's after the head gasket issues were resolved.   -juice

Replying to: jensreid (Apr 28, 2005 11:13 am) My friend bought a 98 Outback last summer for $7000. It was a private party sale. But the guy she bought it from bought it from Anchor Subaru in RI. He said he sometimes will buy the car down there and drive it up to VT and resell it up here. Anyways, the price was cheap and the car was in excellent condition. So $10,900 for a 98 seems really high to me.

Replying to: cuchulain (Apr 19, 2005 6:21 am) Cuchulain,   I'm in CT as well and am shopping around for an Outback. The price of $22,695 seems pretty good. Is this for a manual or an automatic? Which dealer have you been working with?   Thanks!
#512 of 2119 Good deal or not? by sonnyt May 18, 2005 (10:32 am)
I got a quote of 18000 including tax/title/license for a Base automatic model Outback with compass/extender/all-weather floor mats and air filtration system. They will take my 99 Camry CE with 92000 miles. Does that sound like a good deal?
#513 of 2119 $18k by ateixeira May 18, 2005 (12:31 pm)
That's with the trade? What's the blue book wholesale for your trade?   I would look at these as two seperate transactions, to keep things simple.   -juice

Replying to: jensreid (Apr 28, 2005 11:13 am) I paid $14.2K for a 2002 OBW with 46K miles, no trade.

Replying to: sweet_subie (Apr 29, 2005 5:16 am) I just found an '01 VDC with 45,000 mi at a local Chevy dealer. Its a dealer I don't necessarily trust.   Anyway..its pretty clean and they are asking $20.9K. Kelly Blue Book lists the retail of this model at 20.9 too. I like the idea of a 3.0 but I hate the idea of buying a car with 45K. I certainly can't afford a new one so I'm wondering about the value of buying used compared to a new 2.5 for 23K?   What would be a good offer on the VDC? $17K?
