Unhappy Uber expensive, even used??

Been looking through some used car ads and find that a lot of used Subarus are WAAAAY expensive. 2000 2.5RS's going for 21k, even with private sale...

do Subaru's sell for blue book value? Or is there something about them that inflates the price? (non WRX)

21k for a 2000 RS... WTF. that's a rip. you can buy a new WRX for 21k. I just saw an ad in the newspaper today.

21k CDN

But yeah... I dunno... it just makes me wonder if I, has a buyer, have any bargaining power?

ah, CDN, makes more sense

the older subys go for more because they're rare... just keep looking around.

that's true, but I would think that would only apply to the 2.5RS (being a rarer car).

But an Impreza TS (or L)? Or even a Brighton? or an outback?

I think the price is the same all over Canada. (23k, according to what I've seen).

I may be able to get a better deal out of province, but then I'd have to pay for my travel costs and it might not be worth it.

I check autotrader all the time.
and buysell.com (Canadian)

those prices still tend to be thousands higher than recommended black book price...

heh... I dunno. I know it's a general rule to ask for a bit more than what you're willing to sell (a car for), so maybe all prices are just naturally inflated.
