Sonjuro Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 So I've been looking he last few weeks for a GT to buy and I've narrowed it down to 2 very similar GT's. The first one is a 2005 limited with black exterior and it's a manual. The 2nd is also a black limited and also manual but it's a 2006 and $1,000 more and 1.5hr shorter drive to see. Both of these cars are exactly the same except for year, price, and distance to get them. So what would you guys choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05_Silver_GT Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 What about the miles? i had the exact same choice when i bought mine. 05 5MT or a 06 5MT, but i took the 05 because it only had 46k and the 06 had 60k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonjuro Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 The 05 has 45,100 and the 06 has 45,300 so pretty much the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimaa66 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 What about history? Car fax, etc? From Subaru dealers, or private? Options? Any warranty available or offered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigevilfoot Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I feel like it comes down to paying for convenience (aka shorter drive but plus 1000) or taking the drive and paying less. 05 and 06 have no differences between them and the mileage is good on both, so pick with your gut.

Sonjuro Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Well both cars are from dealerships.. I would have to call to see if there us a warranty offered. As for convenience the 1.5hr drive isn't a big deal since I will be driving at least 4hrs either way.. I was thinking the 06 would be better for resale value later on since it's newer.

pre-dent Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 You may be able to talk the dealer down the $1,000 if that's a big factor to you. This hasn't been mentioned yet and may not mean anything to you, but the 05's have black housing headlights stock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshiba2.5 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 black housing headlights and no rear folding seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonjuro Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Well now I'm deffinately going to go with the '06 they lowered the price on it by $1,000 just under 15k for it which I think is a great deal.. Now I just need to sell my wrx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
