SlingXShot Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I live in Long Island (51st state ) and typically in autotrader, there are like around 3 2006 LGTs, very little. Guys know any other sites to find good deals on used LGTs? ---- Well the reason, I'm looking to buy a car and finance some of it by year's end, since my lease is ending. Thanks!

Jerboa113 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 +1. I have been complaining on many of the for sale threads here lately because they're GIVING them away. check it out, you should have a good selection to choose from. Finding one in your area will probably be the hard part.

zmarko Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I had to go 1500 miles to get mine. They're not all that common down here in the south. But I had an awesome road trip home with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlingXShot Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 I'm suprised to see so little of LGTs. People just don't get that the subbies are superior to most FWD cars... FWD you are just limited and plus this car has a turbo in it, handling and etc. You know plus there aren't that many subaru dealers and those dealers, when i went there, the sales people there were dead, its like they didn';t care to sell/lease me the car. The cars awesome, buit the way subaru sells is not as competitive as others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idontknow Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 It took me a year to find mine. Then it showed up on cars.com 3 miles from my house! Got a great deal on it too. Just keep looking and "be patient grass-hopper". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouAreABus Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I'm going 500 miles to pick up my '05 LGT limited wagon. I'll be flying out on Friday, and driving back the same day. Priceline.com $280 with taxes and fees and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep looking and "be patient grass-hopper". Took me a good while as well. I signed up on this forum in Aug of '04 I think, and was ready to buy in Mid '05. I didn't end up finding the right one until August of '06. Got a great deal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlingXShot Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 What about financing, if its a private seller, how would I do it? What about a dealer with used cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmarko Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hmm.. was it worth it, how much did you save? Cost me $140 for the flight, and $40 for a hotel room for the night. Went for a drive an hour after I got there, inspected the car, everything was good to go. Just needed to hit his bank the next morning to pay off his balance, and photocopy everything, then I hit the road. Total cost for the complete round trip was about $275, including gas/food. I saved anywhere from $2-4K on the car (depending on where you shop). It was a 2005 bought in Nov '04 and had 10k miles on it. Near mint condition (a few very tiny dings). Got it for $19K.

Jerboa113 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 come to think of it.. I had to drive from Augusta to Savannah to get mine. But there is a subaru dealer in augusta, they were just too high. I drive an hour 1 way when I need to get subaru service for my car.

zmarko Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 BUt what if you don't like it, its doesn't drive good, makes weird noises? Then what? Jump online and try and find a good deal on a flight home. However, it's probably in your best interest to talk to the private owner and ask him to take it to his local suby dealer (or some other certified mechanic) to have it checked over (at your cost ~$100), and have the results sent to you.

kevinh Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 My car s a bit modified and I don't want to sell it. So, I wouldn't get rid of it cheap. But, the wife and I are talking about starting a family and she never learned to drive stick...which was a good thing. And, we may look at something in an automatic. Check out my webpage, and email me. We could meet up. KevinH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out my webpage, and email me. We could meet up. I noticed it was a stick from the pics. And I wanted to get a stick once. My friend got this cool toyota celica 1991 manual, I practiced few times and could never get used to whole manual interventions. So you might have to find someone who wants and knows how to drive a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertfoxaz Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I had to buy a new once since used Legacies are nearly impossible to find out here. I searched AutoTrader for months and the only ones I could find had over 60K miles on them. I guess people that buy them don't want to get rid of them.
