Gixxus Christ! Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 You must have got a good one. Lots of complaints online about transmissions going out in the first 25k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZ Kari Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I also have a 2013 optima SX, 2.0 turbo. I've had it for two years, 46k. I love it, and have had no issues. My only complaint is the navigation system. It often likes to take routes that aren't the most efficient. I prefer using Waze for navigation anyhow.

r1crusher Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) You can get a used Verano or Regal under $20k fairly easy. I've been really impressed with my wife's Verano. If you want balls, look at the regal. Them bitches are surprisingly fun to drive I have a good friend at a Buick dealership in Avon and they have several Verano's and they have a Regal GS! Now the GS would be a stupid fun car to have. All of them are CPO and all of the Verano's are under $20k and the GS is at $25k. I know my guy there could work the numbers a little bit on the GS but it will still be a over $20k probably. But it's a fully loaded out car and I've seen some guys tuning GS' and getting over 280hp from the little 4 cyl. turbo. You need this GS. http://www.drivejoyce.com/VehicleDetails/certified-2012-Buick-Regal-GS-Avon-OH/2320803653 Edited August 21, 2014 by r1crusher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Is your guy Alex Joyce? That's who we got my wife's Verano from and who I originally was gonna lease an Acadia with. But taking a massive hit on salary with the new job ruled out anything but a used vehicle for my budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 My step grandpa has the GS and I've driven that a few times and the damn thing is a blast. I was seriously considering one til I focused in on SUV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 No, it's not Alex but I do know him also. My guy is Karl Witt. Super nice guy and he will not BS you. If he can make it happen, he will and if he can he'll just tell you straight up. No pressure on any of the cars I have or my family have bought from him (which total 6 cars so that should say something). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I was considering a GS when I was looking to get out of my SS but I found a SHO which is bigger than the GS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Probably pulling the trigger on the legacy today. Negotiated via email and got him down to 24k out the door and he's going to meet or beat the 3.26% loan our bank is offering us. Car was listed at $22,760 and taxes alone are $1500 so I don't think we got beaten up too badly... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 one item to check for on the Subaru, what brand and model tires are on it? When I bought my 2011 Legacy, it came with the factory Bridgestone Turanza tires. The tires are great for no road noise and fuel mileage, but they are a "summer performance" tire. these tires are worthless in the snow and slush of the Cleveland 'burs. That is why i bought a set of steel rims and Blizzak dedicated snow tires for winter. I checked these tires on Bridgestones webpage, and on a scale of 1 to 10, they got high marks for low noise and fuel mileage, but got dashed, as in not even a 0 or a 1 for winter / slush.The dealer would not work with me to get replacement tires of a different model of tire, Subaru North America said they have no idea where the cars end up once they are built. I agreed to a point, but then why sell a car equipped with the cold weather package ( heated seats and out side defrosting mirrors ) that will most like be used in the snow belt with summer performance tires. I don't know what tire is "standard" for a 2015 Subaru.WIth snow tires or even all season tires, the car will be great in the snow with the all wheel drive.
