Looking at a '09 LGT

Saw a 2009 LGT AT at a dealer with 31k on it, looks clean inside and out save for a few stone chips on the front. Got the dealer down to 22k out the door, is that still to much? Seems a bit high for an 09 but i'm not too sure. Anything else I should watch out for in an '09? Do the 09s still have the oil turbo line clogging problem?

Thanks for the info. I called and the dealer jacked the price up, they now want 24k .

I only paid $26,4xx for mine out the door in March of 2009 and it had 3 miles on it. They're very high.

I just bought an 09 CPO LGT with 37k for 20k, only bought it for that much because it was CPO.

I bought my 09 brand new for 21.6K plus tax three years ago. It's crazy how these cars are holding their value.

I bought my 09 lgt obp 5sp for 19,5 with 35k from a lexus dealer in march. now it has 46k >.< car still smells new inside!

This has nothing to do with the car. You bought at the depth of the recession. Most cars bought then "hold their value well".

 

To OP: I'd get a new(er) car for that dough. Somebody already got the kick out of the slow depreciation of that '09, and it wasn't you, from now on depreciation will be regular-paced.

Thanks for the input all. I am going to pass on this one, I hate to due to the low mileage but they just want too much for it. The search continues.

I searched for a Legacy for 6 months before finding mine. Used ones were still going higher than what I paid for it. I think I was just lucky!

I have been watching this year and prices all over the country fluctuate (cars.com) Most are 50k miles or less and having asking prices around $20k plus I'm sure you could talk em down. I have my eye on the 09 once tax time rolls around.

I have been looking at this one recently, does this seem like a good deal? I have seen private sale 07 and 08s asking for more with more miles. Dealer said it was non negotiable but after looking at these for a few months this is the cheapest one I have seen with lower miles.

 

Also I have never heard of steel silver metallic?

Their asking price is actually under blue book and with those low miles, seems like a good deal. That car over here where I'm at in idaho would have a going price of 20-21k. I would go for a car like that but I live so far away and wouldn't buy without seeing it and then I gotta pay for it to be shipped out here too. But I feel that's a good buy

anyone in Ohio interested in an 09 Leggy Spec B? It's a little high in miles 72k ~ but it's all high way... black.

I feel like I got robbed! I bought my 08 spec B with 60k on it last June for ~$21k.

Op, no more than 17k out the door including tax, title, fees etc

 

I bought mine when it was 4 years old with only 10k more miles for $14,999, 15.9k after tax etc

I'm starting to give up on trying to find an 09 GT myself i just cant find any close by me. But who knows one might pop up soon. I've been waiting for almost a year to find one in a manual and under 60k miles. Hard as hell to find one in mint condition.

I hear ya man. I'm in the same boat But I'm only going on 4 months. Hopefully I can get my hands on something this year

I bought my '09 about a year ago. I think it was $23k OTD w/28k miles.

Regarding the oil turbo line problem, Subaru supposedly fixed it 07 when they changed the turbo number from VF-40 to VF-46 but really its just the same. Subaru recommends changing the filter every 60K miles; its a Subaru created problem and easily fixed. All you have to do is remove the oil filter in the oil feed line to the turbo as it is not needed. The oil filter is located in one of the banjo bolts in the oil feed lines. The 05-06 does not have electronic stability control which was added in 07. The Subaru service/technical bulletin number for the turbo problem is 02-106-08R just Google it.

The 09 still has the oil turbo line clogging problem but its an easy fix. You just remove the filter that is in the oil feed line to the turbo. Subaru issued a service/tech bulletin #02-106-08R that you can Google. Subaru recommends replacing the filter but you don't need it so just remove it. Its in a banjo bolt. You can just buy the same bolt without the filter for about $5 and you're done.

^ I didn't think that was true.

Son of a! lucky.

I found a 09 2.5gt limited with 12k and a dealer installed cold air intake from an estate liquidation sale. I have no clue what a great price (for me not them) to offer would be on this, any help? I was currently in the market for a new (and my 1st) subaru either an outback or imprezza hatch for the 30+ gas mileage..... Not thrilled with the stated MPG of 18-24 for the GT.....is that pretty much what people have been getting? Does the cold air mod help?

You can go to fuelly.com to see the actual mileage people get on their cars. It really all depends on how you drive too; the turbo will eat gas quickly if you use it a lot.
