Hello Subaru Legacy Folks- My wife and I own a 2015 Subaru Outback Premium and we just sadly sold our 2002 Subaru Outback Limited with 154,000 miles due to head gasket issues and AC not working as well as other quirks of the model. I have found its replacement in a 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited with the EYESIGHT/NAVI/HK package..
The 2013 Subaru is a 1 owner dealer serviced car owned by an older gentleman who is a traveling salesman. The car has 109,000 miles on it and it has had the 30K, 60K,and 80K services performed as well as usual maintenance.The gentleman purchased a 6 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty at the time of purchase and had the dealership address any issue during his ownership.
The car is clean for the age and mileage and has no rust or dour dings or dents. It has been involved in 2 minor fender benders and the car has been professionally repaired using OEM parts each time.There are a couple of scratches and the usual front bumper rock chips. The car does not need tires or brakes for another 30,000 miles. I would only need to replace the drive belt and idler pulley and belt tensioner at this time. It could stand a complete detailing too, but I am just OCD about the appearance of my cars.
I am looking to get 6 years and 70,000 miles out of this car with proper maintenance and care. The owner is asking $8,445 and I offered $7,500. The owner countered at $8,000 and we have agreed on $7,800. Our max budget with taxes and tags,etc... is $8750.
Is this a fair price considering age and mileage and condition? And would this be the best example of a Subaru to get to replace our 2002 Outback (we have a 7 and 3 year old and not not plan on a third kiddo) as we have a 2015 Outback and a 2006 Toyota Camry as a spare/fuel efficient full size car.
Thank you for looking,
Andrew
