integroid Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 just checking to see if $21,900 is a good price for a 05 LGT Limited Wagon 5MT with 14000 miles? Since it is a private sale, I don't think I have to pay sales tax on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rommel Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 You still have to pay sales tax when you take it to DMV for title transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Price is bit on the high side. But really depends. It's 5MT GT wagon! Asking about taxes without specifing location is lame. It depends. Generally private sales of used cars are taxed, I believe New York is an exception, but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 NY charges taxes when you register. Nothing is an execption in NY when it comes to cars! X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rommel Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 In California, if you are buying a used car from a private party you pay the tax directly to DMV when you put your name on the title. It just depends on the seller if he/she would be willing to put a lower price on the bill of sale so you would pay less tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Also used cars? Yup, but many people when they buy privately a lot of times make the bill of sale for cheaper to pay less taxes. Any purchase is taxed at teh DMV. When you buy new the delaership takes charges teh tax. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

integroid Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 I live in Georgia. I have heard it both ways from people in GA and the DMV website isnt very clear about taxes on private party cars. I purchased a private party car about 6 years ago and did not pay sales tax when I registered the car. ANyway, back at hand...Do you guys think this a pretty good deal or should I pass? It is a rare Wagon 5MT Limited with low miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Did you already try to negotiate the price? See if you can get it to lower, maybe like 500 less. I can assure he does not have people knocking on his door eager to buy his car. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the price of the car thru KBB, NADA and Edmunds then you can decide if you are getting a good deal. And you are right the 5MT is a rare breed.

lhsa Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 i would offer a little less to see if he bites, but buy it at the asking price if the condition is mint. 05 MTs are hot AND hard to find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks guys. he was asking $22,900 but talked him down to $21,900. I will see if he will go for $21,500....if so, i will buy it from him this weekend. If it was silver, I would have gave him what he wanted for it. Thanks guys for your advice. Hopefully i will soon be a LGT owner. I miss owning a Subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

integroid Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 I am picking up the car tomorrow. The car was mint! Still smelled brand new and he only put 14000 miles on the car in the 18 months he owned it. He said no one had ever sat in the rear seats and maybe only once or twice in the passenger seat. This car had almost all the dealer acessories installed. Auto Dim, All Season mats, front bug deflector, factory sub, etc....I am paying him the $21,900 plus he is throwing in his brand new $450 Lawn mower. I also found out that GA does not charge you sales tax on a private party sale. So, that alone is saving me over $1200 in taxes if I went to a dealer. Will post up pics later int he week. Thanks for all of your help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Congrats! Thumbs up for GA. It is scam to cash taxes on the same item every time it's sold. NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubiGT Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Good Buy!!! I love my 5mt wagon, and the mods are fun to do myself, too:) Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubiGTWagn Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Wish, I had seen this thread earlier becuase I am about to sell my 2005 LGT Limited 5MT. It's OBP in color with taupe interior, auto-dimming mirror/compass, factory subwoofer, factory short-shift kit, factory medal pedals, factory all-weather mats (plus the original cloth ones as well), center armrest extension, etc. I have also havd the windows tinted professionally, put Swift springs and sway bars on the car, plus I have the Cobb Accessport also. Mileage is 21,877 and it was ordered directly from Subaru factory, picked up by me on 3-29-05. I was gonna ask 22k for it all.... Only reason I am selling it is due to a recent change in employment. My new company is supplying me with company car, so I have no need for this one. It's an awesome car, been well maintained, and not driven TOO hard (I know other people on this board/ NASIOC who can vouch for that as well!!! ) If you know of anyone else looking, let me know! Jonathan P.S. Only thing that isn't accurate in the attached pics is that the rear of the car has been debadged of everything except the GT. P.P.S Added some more pics of car interior/exterior.....

SubiGT Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 ^^^^If you want to return the suspension to stock, I'll take the Swift springs and sways off your hands:)!!!!! Seriously, I need lowering bad. Did the swifts even the car out? I hate that my ass is lower then the nose.

Hopefully i will soon be a LGT owner. I miss owning a Subaru. I would say go for it. I picked up my 05 wagon GT with the extended warranty back in August with 6500k on it. Private selling was asking for $ and I offered 500 less than $ and the deal was made. I'm now a very happy owner of a 05 Legacy GT Wagon 5speed with an extended warranty, and all the factor add ons Even with the not so cool looking red sti pedals, "but they do feel great".

integroid Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Thanks sandwich:) It is such a nice car. I am sooo glad I got this car. you wouldn't believe how new it still is. I have a bunch of goodies on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I need lowering bad. Did the swifts even the car out? I hate that my ass is lower then the nose. I really like the Swift springs and bars. They eliminated alot of the squat/dive, as well as the body roll that was noticeable in the car in stock form. Also, they are not so stiff as to be uncomfortable for daily driving/trips.... I added some more pics to my post above... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
