twisted Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 So most of you that know me know that i have a 03 pilot i want to get rid off for possibly a LGT 5MT Now here's the skinny I spoke to my dealer (the one we got the 5EAT from) and he said: - he's pretty sure the 06 gets navi as a $2000 option (thats pricey..i may not want one for that price...hell i can get an aftermarket one cheaper and have money left over for another AP and handling mods) - the 06 wont be out till june-mid / july and then too they will possibly be charging premium price for a few months before they wanna negotiate -right now the factory has $1250 incentive on 05 - so they will sell me 05 for $1250 below invoice (um no ... i want it $500-$700 below invoice and then the $1250 applied from the factory incentive) - Financing has been changed..now 2.9 for 48 mnths and 3.9 for 60 mnths from SoA - if i were to trade then i only pay sales tax on difference (but they mark my trade about a grand from kbb trade in value even tho my pilot is in "excellent" shape they use the rating of "Good"...wtf???...my pilot still has new car smell dammit) So i spoke to a few friends(not associated with subaru in any way) and they state that normally once the 06 model (for any car) hits the lots in june there will be 2 rebats/deals...one from Factory (possibly 1200-1800) and another from dealer. What would be the best time/deal that i should look forward to? I dont mind waiting if it ensures i get a sweet deal. i still have evo and STi on the list but dont know if i can deal with the lesser interior/features like leather heated and lack of financing deals from factory (at least on evo) ...dont know what deals are out for STI C'mon u guys....tell me what u think is a good way to go ...wait or go-pher-it...MN style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyjojoe Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 i think if you wait for the 2006 to come out, you'll get an even better deal on the 2005 if there aren't any flashy new features you want. i'd love to say "pull the trigger, homie" but i don't think it makes sense.

Opie Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Just a note to those waiting for the '06 model... ...we've just been informed that the '06 has been delayed and we won't see any on dealer lots until September/November, possibly later.

jarrod Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 now...why would they be delayed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 oh noz thatz whack and bogus Hey Opie what do you recommend...to wait till release for 06 is closer?? will i get twice the discount for buying an 05 then?? from soa and from dealer or not???? cuz the money i save can be used for mods and i would love to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emorphien Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Just a note to those waiting for the '06 model... ...we've just been informed that the '06 has been delayed and we won't see any on dealer lots until September/November, possibly later. This is rediculous. Everything I need to buy this summer is getting pushed back. Way to go subaru not like the LGT needed much change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartman Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Financing has been changed..now 2.9 for 48 mnths and 3.9 for 60 mnths from SoA Can anyone verify this for Subaru of New England? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sde Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 life's short, ya only live once, just get the '05 now and have no regrets. absolutely nothing better than a little instant gratification. Subaru of New England? SoNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abakja1 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 My opinion on this,.. Probably the only changes may be a few interior cosmetic changes and a slight bump in HP to maybe 260-270hp to compete with other Lexus/GS sedans, Then comes the $1-2k or more in price increase from 05-06,..

melayout Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I say wait, especially with talk about a Spec B with 18s, Bilstein, Navi and etc. Spec B HELLLOO. If it doesn't translate into anything you will still be able to get the 05 for a really good deal since they aren't flying off the lots.

turbotaz Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Actually some say that since base GT is gone, LGT base price is going down. My opinion on this,..

emorphien Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Actually some say that since base GT is gone, LGT base price is going down. I could find that acceptable. The current unlimited comes in under my budget, the limited is pushing it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melayout Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 A Base GT 5MT un-spoiler-ed is a steal if you can find or still order one. Mojo I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needforsleep Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 interesting.. a $2000 navi system i'm going to hope that the LGT price drops like turbotaz said! this makes my descision between TSX navi and LGT even harder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melayout Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 You can buy a a good portable navi system for under a grand, and you can use it in other cars. Mojo I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 another thread "Spec B Lgt" reads: jonfur80: Ok I don't know if anyone else has posted but SOA had a meeting about the 2006's. Leg gt base is dropped. XT base is dropped as well. We are getting a LGT Spec B....now it isn't the same as the euro/japan. It will have 18's with 7 spoke wheels, Blisten shocks and nav...not sure about brems. Will have STANDARD GT ENGINE, just better handling. the reps had a meeting 2 days ago with the big dogs. Same engine 250/250. 18s, nav, upgraded sus. we found out yesterday so just telling you want I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-2.5-GT Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I wouldn't believe a word of this to be honest. Only real way is to find out when things are released. Otherwise its just speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfxdave99 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 You can buy a a good portable navi system for under a grand, and you can use it in other cars. Mojo I have a Garmin IQue and i love it cuz its also a palm pilot, so i can then sync it with my contacts so I have all my friends addresses etc vs having to enter stuff in manually, plus its easy to update the maps.

crazyhorse Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 The only info I can confirm is that techs have gone to classes mentioning a 6 speed transmission in 2006. Supposedly the Forester was getting it to... but evidently that didn't happen. I have seen several new model codes in the legacy lineup from time to time accidently being left on dealer only sites, however no names were there to tell me what trims etc they might have been. Navigation... the Forester in Japan has it but it doesn't look like ours is getting it... So who knows with the Legacy if we will or not. That space is designed for it so hopefully we will. That would explain some of the new model codes that are more expensive than the LTD version... LTD+Navigation for example... would be cool. You'll see a 3.0L model Legacy I'm guessing..... As for a Spec B.... there has been no information saying that would happen. I keep a VERY close tabs on any new info coming from our dealer network and have yet to here any peeps about that kind of thing. Subaru is VERY closed mouthed when they want to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emorphien Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Of course the 3.0L Legacy would cost more than the 2.5 turbo. I'd like to see a 3.0L for less, offering still reasonable power but I think you can run it on lower octane which is a big plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhorse Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Well.... I'm just thinking... AVCS + AVL (or whatever the correct letters are) + top feed injectors (jdm sti ones will drop in if the resistance works) + aftermarket turbo setup... = WEEEEEEEEEEEEE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needforsleep Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 i have to agree with D-2.5-GT. i don't want to get my hope up only to be disappointed later. I haven't tried a portable navigation system yet but i don't think it's for me. it sounds like a good idea, but since i'm trading the 4runner in i won't have a second car to use it in. If the 06 model doesn't have a navi i would like to get something indash that also functions as a dvd player. something like the Pioneer AVIC-N2.. which doesn't fit in LGT..
