njsub Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I'm having some buyer's regret with my '05 Legacy GT Ltd. I've been thinking about trading it in for maybe an Outback Sedan or maybe the B6(?) So far the sites don't have the '05 information for trade-in values. Any idea where I can get an idea of what my car is worth on a trade-in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih8vtec13 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I dont think it would be worth it to trade it in yet, just hang on to it for a few years and the trade it. BTW what are your regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitaph Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 if its a black on black auto sedan i might know a buyer...:x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 You are going to eat a couple thousand dollars if you trade it in now. I thought a lot about what car I was going to buy. I labored the longest on the color because that is one thing you can't change if you get tired of it. Well, not easily anyway... I love my LGT and haven't driven another car that I would rather have. It fits my needs perfectly. I would love to have bought a 5 series BMW, but that wasn't in the budget. For what I can afford, the LGT is the best car for me. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Any idea where I can get an idea of what my car is worth on a trade-in? Everybody gets some regrets, but are they valid and nagging enough to throw away at least 2-3 grand to change cars. Discussing them could help shed a different light on those issues, unless you are thinking of the Outback or the Tribeca becase you need a higher ground clearance.

njsub Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 I had a 2001 Outback Sedan and loved everything but the engine. I do miss the ground clearance. My other gripes are the required premium gas and the low profile tires. I thought I would be ready for a sportier car, but I miss my Outback Sedan.

melayout Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 As for the premium gas, is it really that much more expensive ? E.g. yearly mileage = 20k miles, avg MPG = 18 mpg , price diff between unleaded and premium = $0.2, therefore (20,000/18)*0.2 = $222 / year more for premium As for the low profile tires, changing to more comfortable tires could help but I would assume you were satisified with the ride after you test-drove it?

axis008 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Unfortunately the Legacy is not the car for everyone, otherwise everyone would be buying it . That said, I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed in those categories about your car. From what I've seen, the price for a used LGT in Ltd. trim is about 25-27ish. Probably around invoice if not a thousand or so lower. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other gripes are the required premium gas and the low profile tires. I thought I would be ready for a sportier car, but I miss my Outback Sedan. The low profiles annoy me at times because they are not forgiving and the roads near me are loaded with large pot holes. It only takes one pothole and your out at least $200!!!! I find myself having to slow down abruptly, swerving to avoid them, and I know if I hit one I'm out a tire. I liked the Outback sedan, but I wanted a black leather interior and a turbo - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exult4Nt Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 What color, what option, what is the condition, how much you want to get rid of it for. and where in Jersey. I might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChruiSSer Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 The outback sedan has the H-6 in it now and also requires Premium. It's the only way to get it. And it's fully loaded and around $32k. haha...my girl said the same thing...I've owned all of my last 4 cars, and I told her we wouldn't be able to hit the movies, mall, and eat out every weekend because now I have a payment. She didn't respond to well to the news, and since I was looking at an STi vs. LGT, she wanted me to get the STi. Of course insurance would mean even LESS time out, but needless to say I chose the Legacy. I figured for the same price it would have cost me for an STi, I'll have a legacy that's just as fast. And it's comfortable, and i'll save money on insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njsub Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 It's silver. Sorry though, I wouldn't be selling it - it would strictly be a trade-in. That way it's less money out of pocket on the new car and I'm avoiding paying taxes twice. I've asked about replacing the low-profiles before and I'm pretty sure the concensus was it wasn't really possible. Unless I missed something.... The Outback Sedan now requires Premium gas? That's f@ckin adburd. Not that the difference is huge when you really think about it, but it is a pain in the ass in general. I'll probably wind up hanging onto it for another year, then trading it in for something else. I miss my Outback sedan - I should have just kept it and dropped a bigger engine in - would have been the exact car i was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Man, I'm happier single than to ever deal with that crap again - I dealt with that stuff for three years!!!! TOO LONG!!!!

It is a $200-300/year difference. Dropping a bigger engine in may not give you the required power unless it is used with premium gas. Again, you don't have to change the size of the tires, but the compound or type to a more comfortable and less-performance oriented one.

Mojo I don't know how the roads are by njsub, but by me there are soooo many potholes, some quite deep and large, that it just isn't a good environment for low profiles. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
