  1. Thanks! Yeah, once I put it on the bigger sites, my phone wouldn't stop ringing...I ended up getting pretty close to what I was asking, and the guy was stoked!
  2. So, when the guy who purchased mine first called me, he was trying to compare pricing with this one: http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/651288169/overview/ Looks pretty clean, nice low miles too!
  3. Another one popped up in the area! http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?zip=80112&endYear=2016&modelCode1=LEGACY&showcaseOwnerId=67080&startYear=2010&makeCode1=SUB&listingType=used&listingTypes=used&searchRadius=75&showcaseListingId=406559201&trim1=LEGACY%7C2.5GT+Limited&mmt=%5BSUB%5BLEGACY%5BLEGACY%257C2.5GT%2BLimited%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D&listingId=413241386&Log=0 Looks pretty nice, 1 owner, local Colorado car. No navi but it looks super clean
  4. In addition to that Autocheck they list..I ran a quick Carfax, looks like pretty solid history from the second owner. Serviced at the dealer (13 oil changes), shows a 30k service but no 60k.
  5. Saw that one, and he has a stock photo in there from an STI...kind of weird!
  6. For sure! I'll keep you posted if anything gets left behind! What part of town are you in? And if you haven't already, you should check out the Legacy Club of Colorado page on FB...again, not very many 5th gen owners, but more local legacy peeps for sure.
  7. HA! No, although that was a SWEET Audi I ordered my new 3.6r Outback last month, it'll be here middle of November. Sad days!
  8. No problemo! I'm a big believer in education...car buying shouldn't be shrouded in a bunch of mystery! That's a great attitude to have, and it's one of the reasons I love what I do so much. I don't HAVE to sell my clients a vehicle. I work off of referrals, not walk ins, so there isn't any pressure, and it (almost every single time) ends up with a customer that gets to take as much time as they need. Good on ya for being able to walk away! If you ever have questions, feel free to hit me up in a PM
  9. Ammcinnis covered it pretty well! Your understanding is correct, there are many variables that go into the actual cost. Dealerships that are just giving away cars - high volume - are typically going to have bigger kickbacks/bonuses to pass along to you. I can't speak to other industries (clothing, restaurants, etc), but I don't think I've ever known the "actual" cost of an electronic item, clothing item, or restaurant dish that I've purchased! In terms of the loss, it's a dealer loss. This isn't unique to a specific dealer either. The vehicles you see on a lot have been bought and paid for by that particular dealer at a set price (which, again, has many factors including kickbacks from volume sales, incentives by region for that month, etc etc), and from the moment they are unloaded off of a truck, it's a ticking time bomb of money loss. If the floor costs (what it costs per vehicle/per day to take up space there) are high enough, and the car sits for long enough, then you reach a point where the dealer has LOST money. Even if they sell it for a value above their initial cost, they've taken a "loss" because it's cost them more to store it there than they had in it for profit to begin with. At that point, they know they have a loser, and will do whatever it takes (typically) to stop the bleeding. I.E., DEEP discounts, free accessories, etc etc. Something to keep in mind though, even those "losers" are going to help them recoup bonus money at the end of the month if their volume metric has been reached. Lastly, keep in mind, everyone LOVES to fixate on the price of a car when determining value (or "how good of a deal they received"). There are multiple parts to a deal, including financing rates, your trade, accessories, warranties, gap insurance...plenty of places for us to make money. That's why the high pressure model works so well for a lot of these dealerships. Get you down there for the price, end up making more on the back end of the deal because you've reached a point where you just want to get the hell out of there and are ready to sign just about anything. The GOOD news, is that there a lot of Dealerships out there who are moving away from this model. It's become much more consumer friendly. Anywho, sorry for the bouncing around here, I'm actually trying to sell some cars myself today Hopefully that helps a bit! OH, one more quick thing... the reason the Subaru VIP pricing is, in my opinion, a great deal for people...if you read the fine print, it's a set price (very fair, good savings), set financing (the dealer can't mark it up), and the dealer still gets to make money (they get a set dollar amount back FROM Subaru on the vip deals, because of the fixed pricing).
  10. That isn't true at all. The invoice is a vin-specific representation of the car as it's built and shipped. It doesn't change, and it isn't an arbitrary value. And yes, they WILL sell a car at no profit, and sometimes sell cars at a loss to move product. It's obviously not the norm, but it happens more than you'd think.
  11. http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/638596400/overview/ ours is still here...blows my mind!
  12. Hope all is well Dave! Still absolutely LOVING my tune, big shoutout to you my friend. Question for you, is it a good idea to log anything, and send the info to you? It's been almost a year, and it still runs like the day you tuned it, but I didn't know if it would be something that needs "maintenance". Let me know what you think!
  13. I'll make sure to let them know, good catch!
  14. Exactly right! There's also a very small amount of light hail on the rear deck lid, and a bit of a scrape on the rear bumper passenger side. The lid/ light/ bumper are being repaired, front bumper is not. Also, new tires going on!
