What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Subaru Legacy
| Price of the Subaru Legacy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
$5K or more cheaper than similar G37. $10-20K cheaper than similar BMW. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
Costs about $10,000 less than comparable AWD sedans. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
The price for quality and performance is unbeatable compared to anything else on the market in my opinion. I got a good lease deal and the residual is strong as well. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Cheap, AWD, and the best set of features under 20k after negotiation. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
value for money |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Great value for $26,000 |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Good value for money especially with in included features. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
I got the car for $7000 under MSRP. |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
IMO, the Legacy offers great value. Just around $20,000 will get you a very capable automobile with some nice convenience and/or luxury features. |
| Price of the Subaru Legacy: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Not a good value in comparison to other similarly equipped cars especially compared even to luxury marques like Acura. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Add a few options and the price quickly climbs to $30,000, a level in which there is a lot of very good competition. The TSX, by contrast, I picked up with more features for only $26k. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
the parts are expensive, whenever it breaks. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Pricey vs competition. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
If you buy one of these new keep in mind that it’s going to take a huge depreciation hit in the first couple years, much bigger than other cars in it’s class. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota FJ Cruiser
| Price of the Toyota FJ Cruiser: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual AWD w/low range |
Very affordable considering vehicle capabilities. The only two comparable (but still inferior) vehicles in the market (Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Hummer H3) are at least $10,000 more expensive |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
We bargained the price down and got a great deal. I see these vehicles are retaining much more of their value than competitors. |
| Price of the Toyota FJ Cruiser: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Despite a lower price than some competition, between the garbage lease deals and high interest rates, you can end up getting a better truck elsewhere for the same money. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
Little room to negotiate - with multiple dealers |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
very costly |
