Subaru Legacy 2.5gt, and Subaru questions???

[Hollywood]

How much mark up is there on subaru's?

Can you get deals at dealerships? Or is it like inifinity where the price is the price?

Is there any complaints about the 2.5gt?

Are there any changes happening soon to it that would make this years less desireable than the newer model? Ie: better engine, or fixed transmision from a flaky first year one?

PM'd, y0!

shitty gas mileage, especially if you have a heavy foot.

Other than that it is cool. I am sure there is room to negotiate... there was room when I bought my car.

[Hollywood]

Well I heard the STI's are getting different engines?? for 05?

[benyl]

You mean '06. I have an '05.

People are talking about the H6. ~350hp

who knows... it is all rumour.

[CRXguy]

If the new STi looks anything like the concept photos.....

[Fuji]

I am pretty sure the STi will get the new H6, because they may be intorducing the new legacy next year with the twin turbo H6. 400+hp yo!

Thing about subies is you still can't really beat the shit outta them like you could to your old RWD 240. AWD drivetrains are typically still plauged with problems if you like to bag on them and do launches etc.

I'm sure they're getting a new engine, especially to go against the new Mistu's which will have 400HP.

I doubt that we will see that mitsu here... It would cost nearly $100,000 CDN

hmmm, which dealership?

For the record, I care nothing for gas mileage, never have. You have to pay to play. I used to drive a hot rod in the past, so it would be nothing compaired to that.

buddy of mine got his lgt 2.5 at rally subaru in edmonton below invoice. but those guys up there are super nice compared to the lil bitches down here. my dads 05 outback, we got for invoice. and my subie we got for $100 below invoice. i guess it depends on which salesman you deal with. my car i got at centaur, my dads at SoC. same salesman tho.

[benyl]

When I got my subby, I asked both dealers in edmonton if they could beat the offer.

They said I should take it and run. I guess it is all in the negotiation.

[Fuji]

lol you wont get a deal on that. If you are spending 40K to get a legacy I would say spend a bit more and check out the Audi A4... Its nice!!! or wait until the new IS300 comes out which is due out in the near future. It's suppose dto be AWD and gotten new style and more ponies!

[CRXguy]

Honestly, for 40k, I'd buy the TL w/Dynamic package. I would, but I can't afford it. haha

[Hollywood]

I'm exploring my options and have npot decided on what to get.

[Fuji]

OHHHHHH I agree with CRXguy there the TL is sooooo nice. The boss at wokr has one an it is very nice. Its got bluetooth and voice recognition etc...

[benyl]

The one big problem with the TL... FWD.

Also, at least with the Autotragic, it definetly doesn't feel like it has 30hp less than my car... more like 100 less hp.

I would save some cash and buy an Accord V6 6-speed coupe.

For 40K, I would be looking at a 300C. Hemi powa.

I have also heard that Rx-8 are going for $33K...

[Hash_man]

I think those new legacy's are very nice cars, but for the money, I wouldn't buy a subaru.

My mom has an '01 Outback H6 3.0 and has had tons of problems. The thing barely ever starts up properly if the weather is anywhere between -10 and +10, and SoC even told her this was the case when she took it in for service. Finally after contacting Subaru of Canada the problem will apparently be fixed, so we'll see.

Also, it's a super pig on gas, I would way rather buy an A4 for the price.
