readisland Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I have found an 08 Spec B online and it is listed at 29,997. I feel this is a bit pricey considering that the 10's will be in the showroom in as little as a couple months. Any comments on what people have paid for their 08 Spec Bs? Also, I have heard of the stop sale on 08 Spec Bs that occurred.... it was for VIN #X22958? Right? Thank you for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readisland Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Other question I have is: How can I determine if the engine problem with VIN #X22958 includes this VIN? (4S3BL696883212195) I am illiterate when it comes to speaking VIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS5689 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 it is new and has just a bit over 600 miles on it. I wouldn't call that pricey at all! I would love to have walked out in my Spec.B for under 30K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCSpecB Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yeah that really isn't too shabby at all. I noticed in your post in a different thread that the higher price you were qouted included a host of extras/options, what you listed (including maint., and excluding spoiler) is exactly how my car is spec'd...The short throw is great, and included maintenance is even better...My .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanahjoe Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I just got this in my e-mail today: PUENTE HILLS SUBARU SAY GOODBYE TO 2008'S WE HAVE REMAINING 2008 NEW SUBARU MODELS IN STOCK. HERE IS A NEVER BEFORE SAVINGS BEING OFFERED BY GENERAL MANAGER AARON DUPORT. MSRP TOTAL SAVINGS LEGACY 2.5GT SEDAN $ 31252 $ < 8200 > LEGACY 2.5 SPEC B $ 35452 $ < 7200 >That brings the Spec B down to $28252 I paid $30,886.00 plus TTL for mine back in August. edit: Here's the direct link to the inventory on the dealer's site: http://www.puente.subaru.com/new-inventory/vehicle-details.htm?vehicleId=f632551c7f000001003c4c332285036a If you're thinking of the recent recall on the Turbo Legacy I think all 08 models had the recall apply to them, it shouldn't matter though, the dealer should be able to fix it for you before delivery. There was a stop sale on Imprezza's last year if I'm not mistaken. It happened around the same time I was looking for my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 There is no say on whether there is going to be a spec b. for the new models. Given the way subaru is headed I would not expect it. The new model is heaveir and watered down to be more competative. I dont know about the price but if you found something you like I woulndt hesitate.
