Beav did make a good point, though. That price was for an FWD transmission. Your AWD will be a little more, but, certainly not 2,000.00 more.

Dealer Prices
As most of you know, the Dealer can charge pretty much what they want, so many many dealers of all kinds mark up list prices by 10%, 20%, 30% and sometimes more ! VW dealers in my area are known to buy parts from the same distributors that we use and sell them at VW list plus. I really don't think it's right when they buy say, a wheel bearing that lists for $90 for $18 and sell it for $98 even if it's made by an original equipment manufacturer like FAG. Getting back to Subaru, I was disappointed and a little upset to find that Tacoma Nissan-Subaru, Subaruparts.com, if you walk into their store, charges Subaru list plus. We therefore don't buy from them but buy from Carter in Seattle who sells for Subaru list and gives us a usual 20% discount as a business. I guess this "What the market will bear" pricing doesn't really sit right with me because most customers just walk into their local dealer and pay them whatever they want, not realizing they're getting screwed. Moral: Shop around and tell your friends.

5-speed replacement
Brian,
I saw on the small car site connected to the 5-speed for sale on e-bay that a 5-speed replacement is about $4000. I would be interested but Tacoma is a long way from Atlanta (like Mars). How much/far can I drive my svx with 1st gear gone? I have it in manual now (skipping 1st, I've been told) with little acceleration from a stop but when it gets going it's OK. When I put it in 1st using the gear shift, it will not move at all. This transmission thing is driving me nuts. Thanks, Greg Any place on this side of the world that can do the 5-speed replacement? |
