Real Car Prices from
a Real Car Dealer

Question From Robert: How much should I pay for a 2005 Subaru Legacy. Here is the information from dealer. 

2005 Subaru LEGACY GT LTD 4 Dr Sedan AWD
Brilliant Silver Metallic, Off Black 56,522 Miles
2.5 liter 4 Cyl. Turbo-Charged, Automatic
VIN # 4S3BL676854217616

Queen of the Road: Hi Robert. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! What did they quote you?

For a 2005 Subaru Legacy SEdan 2.5GT Limited with 56,500 miles, wholesale prices range from $14,000 (being in above average condition) to $11,900 (being in average condition) and $9,800 (being in below average condition).

A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $11,000 to $15,500. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.

Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!
