urdrwho Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Well the car is sold by a dealer, which means I'll be paying more than private. I know that. There are 55,600 miles on the car, rear heated seats is cool. Leather, Nav system, seems high end trim. The mileage points to a commute car, which I don't mind unless they sat forever in traffic jams. Cars should have a gauge for hours run on the motor. The dealer says they go by true-value and they did take $300 off. They want $22,000 for the car. Does it seem like a good price for a dealer? On Monday I go write a check for the car and I'm having a bit of buyers remorse. Maybe it is the color. I like dark colors and this one is ice blue (something like it). My normal car is a much older model, cars that may have a to-do list but I am getting lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 That's right in the ballpark, actually a good price. Black Book for retail CLEAN is $22,725. That's without the sun roof. If it has one the value goes up another $550. $22K sounds like a decent deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornichoe Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I think the leather seats only come on the limited trim. So it should have a moon roof as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urdrwho Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 From previous experience they are a fair dealer. I did just call and ask if it is Subaru Certified and it is not, they are not a Subaru dealer. Honda yes...Subaru no. So all I get is the 3 month / 36,000 that comes with their add-on warranty. I was thinking that Subaru Certified was an SOA thing that if a car is within the warranty period, the OEM warranty carries through to the new owner. Apparently you have to be a dealer. The sales guy said they do have third party warranty and I may look into it. IMHO third party warranties were / are worth as much as the paper they are written on and not much more. That's right in the ballpark, actually a good price. Black Book for retail CLEAN is $22,725. That's without the sun roof. If it has one the value goes up another $550. $22K sounds like a decent deal.

upstater Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 wow that is pretty good resale for a 2015 with 55k. When my Legacy lease is up I think the buyout is ~$19k, and the mileage will probably be only about 28,000 miles on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urdrwho Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Three hours before I was going to sign on the dotted line for the 55K Outback, I found an off-lease Outback at a Subaru dealer. It had 20,000 less miles on it, brand new tires, new battery, came with the Certified warranty, exact trim package and was $900 more. I went with it. Plus all maintenance records were at the dealership but the other car didn't have complete maintenance records. Ethically I felt I had to call the sales guy I had been working with at the other dealer, to give him a shot (maybe lowering his price). All he had was a third party warranty add on that would cost us another $1400. And it was only a 4 year / 48,000 mile warranty. Plus the car he was selling had tires that were about 60% good and the battery was not new. Oh there is one thing different, the car we bought doesn't have eyesight and the other car had it. I am glad because on a test drive on back curvy roads, the eyesight didn't like me cutting through the curve. PITA if you ask me. Felt bad for the sales-guy that we have used in the past but his dealership wasn't letting him compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
