I lost my wonderful 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback, Limited Edition, 30th Anniversary Model to Hurricane Eric while vacationing on Ocracoke. Only 40,300 miles and going strong. Loved that car. So, I'm going to visit area dealers next week to check out the new L.L.Bean model, and I will appreciate any and all advice.
I like the idea of the 6-cylinder engine, since I always felt the
4-cylinder engine on my 1999 was a bit underpowered.Are there any 2005 L.L.Bean owners out there who wish to give me an opinion?
The suggested retail price according to the Edmunds System is $32,195, with an invoice of $29,558. Edmunds says that "others are paying" and average of $30,768 for the L.L.Bean in my area (northwest Philadelphia suburbs). Any suggestions on what I might offer?
Either way, even though I can afford it, it's a lot of money. So, I was wondering if I should lower my sights a bit -- although I gather that the L.L.Bean is the only model with a 6-cylinder engine.
Thanks in advance for any advice you wish to offer.
Carl
