Drift Motion Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 be patient, increase search radius on autotrader, and just wait...lol took me a couple months to find mine...and 05 is a lot more abundant than 08-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Set an alert on Autotrader and have it email you instantly. Then just wait, that's how I got my spec.B. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aracheon Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Granted, I was looking for a very specific 05 when I found mine, but the key here like everyone else said is to be patient, and increase your search radius. FWIW, it took me a year and a half to find my perfect LGT wagon... and it was 800 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightspeed98 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Is not the radius that's the problem, it's the mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because im in the Northwest? Now that i have the money to put down, i can't seem to find one! What am i doing wrong? Anyone have any where else i can search besides craigslist and autotrader? Man i know how you feel i have been looking for a GT for months! there was a white one ahwile back,but it had a beige,taupe colored interior. There isn't a single one in Colorado for sale! i am trying to find one with a manual and under 60k miles aswell. Shouldn't people who are leasing them be turning them in by now? or are they buying them outright at the end of the lease if they are leasing them? they're awesome cars thats why they don't want to sell them. I was about to post the same thing as you glad i found the thread. It's a frustrating wait and i'm about to give up finding one. Usually thats how it works if you give up on something then opportunity finds itself afterwards i guess. be patient, increase search radius on autotrader, and just wait...lol took me a couple months to find mine...and 05 is a lot more abundant than 08-09 I don't know but it seems like 05-07's are extremely limited aswell to find. Hell if i could find even an 06-08 i'd jump on it but i'd really would much rather have an 09 because it had the best styling and features.

Drift Motion Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 you are talking about cars that are not popular to begin with therefore very hard to find and pre-facelift > post-facelift exterior wise...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xVern Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 How much you looking to spend? Looks like around 20k. i flew to seattle to pick it up 4 days ago. 11,900k 100k miles single owner APB w/ black interior limited 5mt body has scratches but its the least of my worries Where did you buy it from? I may have looked at that one haha. The more and more my old impreza breaks, i may just get an 05-07. I can seem to find a few of those with higher mileage and for about half the price that i'd spend on an 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ25subie05 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 i thought id throw this out to maybe make your search on craigslist easier. i use searchtempest.com it searches all of craigslist, try it out. It goes through all the cities at once and saves a lot of time! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somedays I wish I had looked and spent sticker on a SWP 09 spec.B instead of my DGM 08 spec.B purely for the Harman Kardon stereo (and because SWP is soooo SEX). I don't have regrets buying mine brand new four years ago though I prefer the F version of the JDM turbo models which is most like the revised USDM BL/BP's. And GL with you in your search. Like the aforementioned advice, I would say WAY EXPAND your radius even if the Pac NW is a breeding ground for Subies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Mileage is the false metric on these cars. My 09 with 120K is in better shape (inside and out) that several 08/09 GTs ive thought about buying. Maybe you could loosen up on the mileage req'mt the help your search efforts as well as the distance! At this point any factory warranty or even extended warranty is wearing thin so ensure maintenance is up to snuff. I saw a LGT with 109K on it for $12.5K maintenance records were solid! There is a 2009 GRP Spec.B for sale locally that I drool over whenever I see it on AutoTrader mileage is in the 60K but its one owner and solid records. I love higher mileage car that are in great condition, just means they are built well for the test of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Motion Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I thought the GT was replaced by the Spec B for 08-09? nah...then what are the automatic people gonna drive? To each their own.

Zero1 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 nah...then what are the automatic people gonna drive? not fair bringing JDM conversion like yours into this game... LOL true. To be fair, I still prefer the USDM revision years for the looks and the 6MT in the spec.B's. I would MUCH rather have the motor out of a 2005 LGT as it has the STi bottom end...Hence why I need to save for a motor build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I thought the GT was replaced by the Spec B for 08-09? Nah B! Spec.B was produced along side the LGT for 08-09. THe LGT wagon went the way of dust however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris GTO TT Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I don't know I used to like the 05-07 front more but now I think I prefer my 08 to the 07 that I see at work everyday. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 One thi.g to consiser is although a slightly more difficult vehicle to find would be the 5thgen lgt, 6spd instead and bigger space wise if wanting more room for family. I really wanted an 08*09* but found a better deal on a 2010 and limited with more options and.it took 7months to.find it. Took a one way to.portland from boise,id and drove it home and don't regret it one bit. There's a local one here for sale....nudge nudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
