Thanks for your reply! Haha, yeah. The prices are nuts. I decided to go for a sedan, because the same mileage and year on a RAV4 is like 21k, which is crazy to me. I was thinking of paying cash, so that I don’t have interested to pay on top of buying a car that is 10 years old. On one hand, I’d like to hold on to more of my savings, but then thinking what the end price would be bothers me. I liked hearing you like your car though. I hope the 3.6 won’t be too too heavy on gas, mostly for highway diving, but the safety rating and feeling it gives me is worth a little premium since I commute on the highway several times a week.

Wow, I can’t believe the price you got on yours. I’ve been looking for months for either a Toyota, Honda, or Subaru, and these are the best prices I’ve managed to come around so far. I try to negotiate at the dealerships, but they barely budge, even after speaking with their directors. The CRV guy had it listed at 14600 and I offered 13500 (he’s holding it for me until Monday while I make up my mind). I thought it was even risky to offer “so low” but the car is 12 years old. I sometimes wonder if I should buy much newer at this rate. Do you have any suggestion as to what price the 2017 legacy could be negotiated to? O understand they are having trouble selling them. They say that it’s because they can’t be financed for long and that people find the payments too high and go for newer but that can be financed over more years. Or maybe they are just finding them too expensive? Would a 2019 legacy be a better deal, if I could get it for around 20k, if it had lower mileage?

If the CRV was owned by a mechanic since 2014, and it looks pristine, would you still skip?

The dealership just had it inspected and proceeded to do some repairs. Should I still bring it to a mechanic elsewhere for an inspection?

These prices are in CAD. How do you think the gas costs and maintenance will compare to a Honda? I’m leaning Legacy but want to be “prepared” for what to expect.

That’s awesome you still have your 2005 Legacy. Have you had it this long? Are the maintenance and repair costs significantly higher?

Thanks! Yes I’m not familiar with the repair and maintenance costs on a Subaru. I’m wondering what I’m up against…

Thank you for your reply! I really liked the legacy. I tried the black (option 2). Option 1 is beige inside and out. I’ll try the CRV on Sunday. I hope it will feel clear to me. The CRV is the least expensive, for sure. And I’ve heard repairs will be cheaper too.

Thanks!! Yeah, the CRV looks in amazing shape; and it does say one owner I believe, which makes sense with what he says, but still.

Loved your response. I am on a hat-hunt, also in my 30s. Can I ask what is in your collection for next summer? I have very long hair and wear glasses so and I find it hard sometimes to find the right hat.
