subiedad51 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 07's also have the SRS system on the stock HU and the Si-Drive in addition to the seats and the aux-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguyco Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 I knew that too I guess.... yet still no opinions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubunderpar Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 07 also has 20k more on the clock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiedad51 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 O7's also have a different turbo VF46 versus VF40. The VF46 has better low and mid range performance. In addition if you're planning on modding there's no need to do anything with the upipe in the 07 which will save you some money down the road. The 20k miles isn't that signficant but again it depends on your plans. If you're staying stock forever the lower miles maybe the best way to go if the fold down seats and aux-in aren't important. From a resale perspective the lower miles versus the newer model year will most likley be a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguyco Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Low Low Low mile 06 that is almost 5 years old... Or relatively low mile 07 that is almost 4 years old... Bright blue 06 with light colored interior... Dark grey 07 with grey interior.... The 06 is tempting....but I hate CARMAX....no haggle my ass...I hate that. I don't think they are overpriced but boy I hate paying 499 to get it here....and I want to finance my sales tax so I cannot fly out for 75 bucks and pick itup...probably be a wash after gas and gambling anyway (it's in vegas)..... the 07 isn't local either....60 miles away, so if I have a problem w/ it...could be a pain in the ass getting it fixed free.... I think the grey is a nicer color..but the blue is tempting it is practically brand new... Are brand new Subaru California cars different in any way such as more emissions etc? I know lots of brands do different things to cars intended for Cali...as well as tons of new cars not from Cali can't be registered in Cali unless they are 50 state emissions cars...

Mr. Sinister Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Any car without folding rear seats is a no-go for me. It comes in real handy when hauling something semi-large stuff around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubunderpar Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Go with the 07, I don't know what prompted me to bring up the 20k because when I bought my 07 i took the extra miles to get the limited in DGM. Plus the AUX in is a big plus (at least for me), and folding seats are a must have if you plan to carry anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryandigi Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 go with the 07....no need for up and the aux in is worth it....plus DGM soo much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subiedad51 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Diamond Gray Metallic - Awesome color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiedad51 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I would still go with the 07. For 2k more you'll get that back if you decide to sell later. Plus when you get the modding bug you're halfway to stage 2 with the 07 - Downpipe and tune and instant smiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguyco Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 now we're talking....this is the kind of real world info i need... keep it coming..by wednesday next week i will have one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoobie Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 FWIW...now there is an 05 tossed in the mix...the guy just called me today, fresh traded.. 05 LGT 5MT...Black....Lt Grey interior....40k.....$17993 out the door...clean carfax... I dunno that doesn't seem like that great of a deal. I got my 05 non limited in 2007 for less than that with only 19K miles on it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeblow Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I would definitely go with the 07. Aux port is amazing, no need to deal with stupid fm transmitters and whatnot to use my ipod. Fold down seat are a must for me. I snowboard and being able to fold the seats down in the back to put my board in the trunk instead of messing up my body lines with a roof rack is a huge plus. Prices seem a bit on the high end for the 07 though. I paid $23k for my 08 last August with 30k miles. I find it hard to believe an 07 only depreciated $2k in that amount of time. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows. It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes in real handy when hauling something semi-large stuff around. ^x2 *EXCEPT* I overlooked it for my '05 beause I also have a Durango. If this was our only car, it would have been a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I just bought the '06. There, your decision is made. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that is with taxes etc...the actual price for the 07 is 19139.00 Glad you bought the 06 I hate CarMax.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
