Guys
I registered here right when I started car-shopping..
I really love the Outback. It has everything that we need from a new car.
We are expecting and I need a car bigger than our Corolla.
Almost bought the Outback on Saturday, if the dealer gave a fair price on the Corolla - The most they could offer was 5150 for a 2003 Corolla LE with 81k. It's not unreasonable, but I think I can get a lot more from a private sale.
I've been doing a lot of research on both Outback and CR-V. I think either will serve us, but CR-V is kind of dull.
Best offer I got: 2012 CR-V EX AWD right at invoice; 2013 Outback 2.5i Premium at invoice - 1000.
I am happy with the offer on the Outback. Honda dealers are very tough to negotiate. I can't blame them. Why would one lower price, if the car sells well?
The only thing holding me back a bit on the Outback is the reliability. My Corolla is 10 years old and I didn't have to do any repair yet. Would I get the same level of reliability from the Outback? I know CR-V is quite comparable to Toyota.
Can you guys help me/convince me one way or the other? I hate spending money fixing cars... they should just work, shouldn't they?
We live in Utah. So, I am looking at AWD only...
Thanks!
