Asking Price: Found the car I really want... $16,800 FIRM

All of my friend's are selling their cars, so I figured I might as well give it a shot, too.

It is with a heavy heart that I do this. For sale is my 5 speed manual 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Limited with 32,xxx miles. The car is Satin White Pearl in color with black leather interior. I am the second owner and purchased the car from a friend's mother (she is in her early 50's). She purchased the car new from Miller Hill Subaru and had ALL of the required/optional maintenance performed at the dealership, including the 30,000 mile maintenance. It goes without saying that this car has been stock its entire life and not driven hard. It has a clean title and has no accidents, etc. to report.

I believe the car has every option that was available at the time of purchase:
STi brake, gas, and clutch peddles
Momo shift knob with factory short throw shifter
Autodimming mirror with compass
Locking lug nuts
Rear spoiler (I wish it didn't have this option )

I'm posting this up mainly as a feeler. I have an itch for a BMW/Audi so I may pursue that if I get what I want for this car. I'm not even dead set on letting it go, but I have a problem with keeping cars for very long (ask my friends). I am a perfectionist, so I will point out all of the things that I see "wrong with it". These are all things that are expected for a car made in 2005. On the driver's side back door, there is a small dent near the window. This dent can easily be taken out via PDR and is not noticeable unless you're looking at it correctly. Secondly, the bottom part of the front bumper is scratched slightly which reveals the plastic. This is only noticeable if you're level with the bottom of the bumper or lower and is roughly 2" long. The passenger side mirror has a .5" scrape on it which was touched up with the factory touch up kit. Continuing around to the back side of the car, the bottom side of the bumper on the passenger side has some weird scoring in it. I have absolutely no idea where this is from, but I will do my best to show it in the pictures. The tires are likely original and have a season or two left. I've had no traction issues even in the snowy Duluth winters. The previous owner, and myself, never drove the car on the highway so there are no rock chips, etc. that are normally associated with that.

As for the interior... well... it looks brand new. There is some VERY minor scratching around the shift boot (high-traffic area). But it otherwise looks good as new. The carpets have no stains, the leather is perfect and not faded or torn. The back seat looks unused. I am very tedious about my cars and lately it's been getting washed 3 times a week inside and out.

The car currently has a lien on it, but I do have the title. Once the lien is paid off, my bank will send you/your bank the lien release. I prefer cashier's check/wire transfer/cash for payment (in that order). My father has a dealer license and can transfer the title for you at his place of business. Also, I understand what the car books at through the various services, but more importantly I know the Legacy GT market (I had a black LGT limited a year or so ago). As Legacies go, the color combo and mileage of this is quite desirable (I love white cars!). Also, keep in mind when reading this that Subarus in Minnesota have a tendency to sell for more than book value (I have sold 3 and have gotten at least book, if not more, for all of them). As such, please do not chastise me for this. I am willing to work with you on the price, but only to a degree. I'm not taking $15k for it, so don't even ask. I like the car an have absolutely no trouble keeping it. Also, I am not interested in trades unless it is a very specific BMW/Audi. Thank you for reading. I hope this car goes to a fantastic new home.

I will have a full set of pictures up TUESDAY, February 1st!

 

I can't believe I just did that... oops. We'll see what happens...

 

I can vouch for the fact that the car hasnt been driven hard since it's a well known fact that David drives like a grandma

 

Hey now :biggrin:

 

Damn you go thru cars like crazy! But I just sold my sti for an audi and I love it! Glws

 

What did you get? Also, I figure it will take me a while to sell if for what I want so it should even out :biggrin:

 

PM's replied to!

 

An audi s4

 

Did you just buy that black one off of Dave Anderson?

 

You has PM Mr. Tracey...

 

Thanks!

 

Gorgeous car!

<-- has a 2009 swp legacy gt

 

Thank you. Ever since high school when he'd get dropped off in the car, I always lusted after the car. Never once did I think I'd ever actually own it. I was astonished when he called me one day and said that his mom had just ordered a 2011 WRX limited sedan and that she wanted to sell it. The color is excellent and the car is SUPER clean. I love the car and as such have no problem keeping it until I get what I want for it (I have a number in my head). I've already gotten a few offers on here and other sites, but nothing has come through yet. The only Legacy I like more then mine is a white 2008-2009.

 

me want!!! but cannot have

 

So close to me, yet so far

Wonder if I could make an "accident" happen with the BMW in order to get this. JK!!!! Good luck...it is exactly what I am looking for.

 

If you did, I would turn a blind eye

 

Bump

 

Bump. I have a couple of people looking at financing, and I've found the car I want to replace the Leggy ('06 BMW 330i).

 

Bump. Test driving the 330i tomorrow.

 

Bump! Make an offer!

 

Trade pending for an '05 STi :yumyum:

 

Found the car I really want... $17,500.

 

To the top! I want me an M3.

 

Bump!

 

Bump Any luck??

 

Someone from ND/SD is going to come and look at it (actually, meeting him in Cambridge) next week. He sounds like he's pretty serious about the car, but we'll see when he test drives it!

 

Bumping this to the top

 

To the top

 

Bump.

 

seriously... this isn't sold yet?

 

Lol... I agree. I feel like if it was on the east coast it'd have been gone a month ago. I have someone with money who is going to test drive it on Friday though!

There's a badass hardtop S2000 that I have my eye on... http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2115110&highlight=s2000

 

VTEC YO!

Seriously, that's a sweet looking s2000. What happened to the M3?

Also, free bump.

 

The nice M3s (low miles, well taken care of) are $17-$20k. With an S2000 (the one mentioned previously is above what they normally go for) you can get into them for between $11k and $15k. It's a Honda, gets decent gas mileage, is reliable, and would be a fun summer car. If I want to go fast I can drive my RX-7

 

Bump. Someone is test driving it today!

 

Bump...

 

By the way, I'm willing to do $16,800 FIRM. The mileage is now 34,245.

 

Bump! I'm $1,000 BELOW KBB.

Sale Pending...

 

Sold for $16,800.

 

Finally! Way to go. I almost feel bad closing this thread, be sure to share the new ride with us.
