mach250 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Everywhere I look theres not a single 2009 spec b to be found...especially one with navigation... Have any tips? Should I see if my local subaru dealer might be able to find one? I'm not too worried about color but I'd like to stick to white or silver with black interiors. Thanks for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodax Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 You might want to try to search the whole country for a SpecB, they are pretty darn rare. It will be worth the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpgspecb Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I know 2006 was limited to 500, I _heard_ the 2008s only had 93 or something sold in Canada. Beyond that Im not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris GTO TT Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I basically spent a year looking for my 08. Also only 06 and 07 had different color interior 06 had red and 07 had the blue insert. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerboy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Took me the greater part of a year to find a 09 SWP spec b. The hunt was half the fun. Yes id does have the alcantera inserts as well. There is one for sale on NASIOC in Utah I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mach250 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 whoops about the navi...been working some odd hours lately and must've been confused or some shit. Anyways thanks for the autotrader link, one of the cars shows as a coupe and no pics listed. appears a bit shady. Other one looks nice and I could visit some friends in colorado while I check the car out...hmmm also found an 08 closer with less mileage than the 09 at that autotrader link in colorado...are there any real differences between 08 and 09? Seeing same rear view mirror turn signal lenses, same front fascia/fog lights and same rear bumper reflectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 09 had the HK sound system in it but otherwise is identical to the 08 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach250 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Is it worth a trip from maryland to the most western part of colorado instead of pennsylvania to look at an 09? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berzerklo Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 If I remember correctly the 08's were only available in 2 colors - DGM and whatever the light grey color is. If you are heart set on a white one it will have to be an 09. My Spec just kinda fell into my lap... I wasn't even looking specifically for one. Just the right car at the right time!

Max Capacity Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 My Spec just kinda fell into my lap... I wasn't even looking specifically for one. Just the right car at the right time! Yes, that's kind of my story, I needed a car, I went and looked on here and it had just popped up the day before. I tell myself, hind sight is 20/20 I should have bought one of these when they were new. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

FunkyDragon Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 My Spec just kinda fell into my lap... I wasn't even looking specifically for one. Just the right car at the right time! Same here. It was a perfect Storm! I wasn't really looking for a SpecB, just an LGT. The dealer had 2 '09s in Ruby Red. I took the one with the spoiler and the short-throw shifter. All black Interior, (except for the headliner; that's beige) Alcantera seats, Nav and all! It was just missing the Home Link Mirror - but I don't have a garage.

jasejase Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 took me a while as well. i live in CT, and had it narrowed down to one in Colorado, one in Washington state, and one in VA. Ended up picking the one in VA. 9 hour drive in each direction to pick her up. Worth every mile! Autotrader, cars.com, and a craigslist search tool (tempest, etc) were part of my daily searches! There were always some for sale, but since i wanted an 09... it was tougher. I almost had Max Capacities spec.b (before he bought it).... but the seller changed his mind towards the end of negotiations.... I reluctantly moved on... Bought mine... Then he relisted it for sale a few months later, and max cap picked it up! grrrr lol... its all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
