Price Checking 2001 LLBean Edition

[Bradley Walker]

Hello all.

Earlier I found another Subaru on a dealers lot in my pursuit of replacing
my `93 Explorer. This is a white, automatic, LL Bean Edition 2001 Outback
wagon with around 55k miles. The dealer is wanting $19,xxx.xx for it and my
question to everyone here is, is that too much for a 2001 model? I've been
seeing other Outback wagons (non LLBean) going for around 10-12k for the
same 2001 year model with around 65k miles. If that is high in price, what
is a good price to negotiate down to to where I wouldn't be able to go lower
than?

My mistake for a double post. My ISP removed all previous
headers/information pertaining to an earlier post I made in regards to
purchasing an LLBean outback.

FYI,

My Outback 2002 AT 2.5L with 75K km (~46K miles) was estimated around
$20K CDN when I was exploring an option to swap it with new '05 H6.
In Vancouver, BC, Canada, where I live $21~$23K CDN (~$16.8KUS ~
$18.5US) for a car like this was (by my opinion) ok price.
I think you can go as low as $15KUS. Then again I do not know for sure
what is the difference between L.L. Bean edition and regular 2.5L AT.

Just to give you better picture what my car has:

- 2.5L 4 cyl. engine
- Automatic transmission (4 gears with overdrive)
- Power all (windows, doors, mirrors...)
- Alarm system,
- front seat heaters
- ABS,
I guess that's all I can remember that is important.

Good luck,.

For what it is worth, I spotted an add the other day here in NW Oregon for
an `03 Bean, very low miles for $21,000.

FWIT I bought an '01 VDC about 6 months ago for $18.5K. Had 30K miles and
great shape. Bought it in CT
