turboguzzi Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hello All I am deep into motorcycles (see nick), done from the ground up restorations, so quite technical. Yet, I want to buy a 92 legacy GL SW with 60K miles and do not know much about problems points, what to check etc. Any help/tips will be appreciated. I am in Italy, hence motor is 2.0. Any links for model history, tech info? Cheers turboguzzi PS If anybody has any motorcycle mechanics questions, I'll be glad to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloradosubarules Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 A 92 with 60K on the clock! Buy it! That car has along wat to go. just change the timing belt before 100K. While they are doing that they should do all the cam, crank and oil seals, not to mention the tensioner and idler pulleys. That will ensure your car will have as many miles on it as mine. 236K and still running like a champ. Hope this helps. P.S. Thanks for the awesome food. Chao...

shortlid Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Do you know much about older Suzuki's and Honda Motorcycles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLS Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Is it 60K miles or kilometers, being in Italy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboguzzi Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hi short lid. Yes, shoot. I run a 89' GSXR1100 (that makes more power than the legacy I intend to buy ) + a host of others. Restored my share of british classics too. Actually I need this legacy to tow my bike trailer... OLS. its 105K kilometers = about 60K miles. I converted for you "americani" I am spoilt for choice: one is 1250$ (1000 euros) but a bit scruffy body wise, another at 2500$ but unbelivable well kept, one lady owner, not a scratch. both have 60K Miles and are manual. Then there is another but automatic at 2000$, 65K. Still no info on any proper tech site or buyers guide? Got very little from searching google.

bajavwnsoobnut Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 well the 2500 one sounds good and it prolly is a EJ-22 2.2 Liter engine and should be bulletproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloradosubarules Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Sorry about the misspelling. I had the right spelling in my head. My wife is Italian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenSisters Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Wheel bearings half shafts fuel sending unit transmission components for torque bind and bleed down if auto (make sure fuse is not in awd holder) Driver side visor Make sure the check engine and ABS (if equipped) lights come on at start-up First generation Subarus are worth buying. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboguzzi Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Hello All Thanks for the extra and encouraging info. Hope that my next posting will be as an owner! Cheeers T-G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLS Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 You should try to talk the old lady down to EUR 1600 (US$2000). Blame the insurance cost. I don't think you would like the gas mileage of the automatic one. Buona fortuna! OLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
