Subaru or other decent AWD <$10,000

I’m looking for an all wheel drive vehicle for my wife. We are expecting in February, and her Focus doesn’t cut it for our steep and curvy driveway in the winter. I prefer Subaru, but will entertain others (Prefer no domestics).

Vehicles I’m interested in: (the obvious suspects)
Legacy/Outback (wagon or sedan)
Impreza (wagon only)
Forester
Other makes/models?

Prefer:
Auto trans, but will entertain manual at the right price
Less than 100,000 miles
~25 MPG
If Subaru, 3.0L H6 (not the older 2.5L)
In the Western NY area, but willing to travel up to 100 miles for the right car
Not a big fan of domestics

Don’t bother with the following:
Project cars
Beaters
2 Door vehicles
ANYTHING Turbo (It would turn into my car, lol)

Looking to spend <$7,500, but up to $10,000 for the right car

We have a '04 ZX3 Focus, Auto (her DD, 100k), or a '97 Eclipse RS, 5spd (my 165K DD beater) that could be a partial trade if interested, otherwise, one or the other will be for sale soon.

I’m watching Buffalo CL, unless YOU have it listed there, please do not link to any BUFFALO CL ads.

Do you mean the 3.0L H6? lol
I wish my subaru had under 200k haha. it would of been a good contender!
Maybe she interested in a 05 Cadillac SRX? lol

You got me there, I’ve now been exposed as a non-Subaru guy.

If the SRX was in the mid-20’s MPG, we could talk, haha.

LOL! I have owned 2 Outback [LLBean and VDC] Both Beautiful Machines!
I would consider selling my 02 L.LBean for alittle below fair market value :slight_smile: If that tempting.

The SRX is a V8 Monster :wink: I bet you if your wife sits in it once she wouldnt think twice about the gas milage lol
You know them women and their “fully loaded standards” Navigation, Rear DVD for the kiddies [best thing once the kid turns 1 gaurenteed!]
Best MPG on the V8 was low 20’s got 22MPG driving from NYC to Buffalo. City is only 14-15MPG which i think is still exceptional for its own good!

what about considering an audi?

I’d consider an Audi or VW if it fits the criteria above.

check out the forum sponser section for swiderski, almost all audi get 25-30 highway, i know he has a low milage 04 auto A6 3.0 he just got at auction that fits all your criteria, he has a few others some with a 2.7t but i know that turbo is out :stuck_out_tongue:

just for fun he also has a 00 A6 2.7tt 6 speed mmmhmmm :stuck_out_tongue:

the lot changes every week ALOT so give justin a call. he will even do trades his number is in my Sig (and under my user name :stuck_out_tongue: )

Mike - Just peaked at your inventory, and the A6 would be an interesting option. I’ll try to give him a call over the weekend.

BoostedS13 - $10 is pretty much my upper limit, thanks though.
