was 2006 only year Spec.B limited to 500?


Recommended Posts

cool thanks, I was looking for a used 2005 LGT but came across whats now my car on autotrader and decided for shits and giggles to call and find out the price since it was unlisted. Ended up getting it for a few thousand more than i would have paid for an LGT and it cant hurt to have the navi, bigger rims, and especially the different suspention, as well as a year newer than the 05s i was looking at. was one of those right place right time.

IIRC the Spec B was even more limited (i.e. less than 500 made) in the '07 and '08 MY because nobody bought them in '06.

 

yup seems more people hated it than loved, when i was car shopping i went to two dealers who could not get rid the one they had.

 

one dealer was trying to sell it way below cost!

 

imo i like the 06 shrek and think its the best one yet...

I thought I read somewhere that they made about 3000 spec.B in 2007, but I can't remember where... Definitely more than were made in 2006. I have no idea about 08.

 

Link showing 3000 in 2007; look at the caption in the top left picture

 

Yeah, I tried finding an '07 when I bought mine, but no luck in CA. I was torn between the 07 and 08. I liked the rear on the 07, but much preferred the interior on the 08. I think the spec's are pretty popular cars, enough to almost sell out before years end, atleast here in CA.

I don't think people hated it, I just don't think the majority saw a cost benefit over the standard Legacy when it came out in '06. After being heavily discounted they were a great deal but at MSRP the additional cost over a standard Legacy vs what you got was ridiculous. In '07 this was alleviated somewhat with the addition of the 6spd. Now, in the used market, Spec Bs provide a great upgrade over the standard package for a marginal cost increase.

I love mine. For the original 10,000 more or whatever it was not so much but I fully admit I love having the Nav system, the red interior and the suspension upgrade without voiding any warranty stuff. I really like the look of the 18s too... But I finally have a car which im pretty much totally elated to be one with wheels again... the motorcycle was getting cold around thanksgiving up here at school.

 

and unlike many I see on this forum, I like the red pinstripe on it it matches my seats, and I like the stock "wing" as it may be Im glad it had one...
