#20 of 126 Subaru Legacy Buying Advice needed! by matthew12
Sep 08, 2006 (6:21 am)
I'm looking at a brand new 2005 legacy GT that never sold off the lot. The dealer will make me a deal at $27k. When I run a KBB report the suggested retail is ~21k. I have to run the car as used of course so I'm not getting a clear picture. What do the fine people of this form think?KBB Search ======================

$27k is crazy high, was that a typo? New they went for about $24-25k with auto. I saw some MT5s for $23k. Thing is, the incentives may have expired, so the deal got worse, not better.
Run, don't walk. Buy an '06 for less.

#22 of 126 05 Legacy is not collector item by krzyss

maybe except Legacy Wagon with 5MT.Dealer should not charge more for 05 than for 06. The price should be much closer to used 05 than MSRP.
Follow juice suggestion.

Tell the dealer he can keep that pristine car on his lot for some more years..but seriously, that is a ridiculous price!! 
I would pay close to used...like krzys suggested...good luck!!
#24 of 126 I was offered one for 21,000 by nickel

In Minnesota. I didn't buy it because for my lifestyle I needed an OB. That dealer is White Bear Subaru, north of St. Paul. Call 'em to see if they still have it.#25 of 126 Re: Subaru Legacy Buying Advice needed! [matthew12] by matthew12

Thanks for all of your replies. The consensus seems to be that the guy trying to sell me this car is crazy (or thinks I'm a sucker). Either way, after thinking about my need for a "new" car I've decided that I'm more interested in a used car then a new car. I've found a 2002 WRX in excellent condition for about $17,000.00
Anyone have any advice as to what I should look out for when considering this purchase?

Anyone have any advice as to what I should look out for when considering this purchase? Anything that suggests that it has lived a hard life. WRX owners, on average, are pretty hard on their cars.

#27 of 126 subaru gt spec b - what colour by maxy
Sep 30, 2006 (4:42 pm)
anyone have any suggestions re best colours for a new gt wagon. am in australia and cars are made in japan so we are not stuck with one colour as US cars seem to be. cars are a bit different too, the interior has no blue, it is all black. actually am leaning towards the diamond gray or urban grey (cant remember what it is over there but it is a slightly darker brillian silver). also having the metal grill fitted. i figure you wont see the bonnet scoop or grill as clearly if i got the diamond gray as they would stand out on the urgan gray. also my current car a forestor xs2.5 only came in silver so need a bit of a change.any input re colours would be appreciated.
Cheers
Maxy

Go for the darker gray and then get the windows tinted. That would look pretty sinister.
