There is probably another $500-1000 if they keep grinding for the rest of the month. May not be worth it. My suggestion would be:
drive a manual Mazda3, FWD and AWD
drive a manual Golf
And if you come back around to the Impreza they will probably bite at $299/mo and they might go to $289 if they need that deal that bad, but I don’t see you getting much more off that car. They know it’s rare and they prob know the closest one is that far away.
Thanks for the reply, looked at Golf- my kid is driving it, so IIHS ratings factor into.
Had a few VWs in past, they don’t do as well as Subaru’s in crash testing.
The Mazda 3 needs to be a 27k vehicle to get manual trans.
They already aren’t in a 2020 Sedan-CVT only. I didn’t really revel my hand at all, just said I wanted a manual and if I couldn’t get a good deal on the 2019- there are plenty of 2020 Manual hatches around.
I’ve never leased and don’t plan to in the future. This was needed to replace the hand me down he was driving. Only need it for 3 years. Basically this ends up a little more than the payout for the totaled legacy.
I looked use, but there isn’t anything good in the same price range. I figured a 3 year lease get us through my daughter driving and going to college after my son- then I was my hands of it.
