(goldfish) Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I was looking at getting an early 90's legacy wagon for winter/daily driver. I had some thoughts, if I could get your opinions. For a small trailer, say 500-1000lbs, would an auto be better than a manual? I do perfer manuals, but a trailer in the future would be nice for camping. Second, on the net there is a '94 turbo,auto, w/155k on it. What are the chances of it being worth $2.5k and lasting anouther 50k miles and several years? In general what should I look for? I'm pretty good with cars, but never a subie. They sound like good all purpose winter mobiles. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloradosubarules Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Automatics are always better for pulling a trailer but I am pretty sure that the most you can pull with a legacy is 3,500lbs. Although the engines in the early legacys were known for their reliability, the trannys were not. I have 239K on mine but I think it would have lasted longer if I didn't pull a dolly behind it with a subaru attached to it now and then. I did this in Colorado so there were many hill climbs. I love my legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
