Depends on where you live. Here in Colorado big difference, but in AZ/FL/TX etc no difference. This is why you can get them for cheap on ebay from these areas.

Subarunation 713 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Are better deals to be had in spring, on older Legacy AWD's? Few available for sale, and none cheap in "needs work" condition.Best deals are to be had when people are broke...i.e after Christmas and before the tax return checks come in. What part of PA are you in? eastern or western? Whenever I go back to my parents place (Reading area) I am surprised by the number of cars available. Check www.cars.com www.autotrader.com and if you are in the eastern or central part of PA pick up an Auto Locator. Good luck, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger83 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Not sure. I posted an add in the Boston craigslist and here for $3,750 OBO for a '97 OBW with 152K mi but looking good and all maintenance records, and had head gaskets replaced pre-emptively at 140K. Not a single inquiry from here, offers of $2,000 and $2,500 from Craigslist bottom feeders. So I'm still driving it and my new 05 Honda Accord V6 is sitting in the parking lot....

unverviking Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Are better deals to be had in spring, on older Legacy AWD's? Few available for sale, and none cheap in "needs work" condition. Come on up to Rochester NY. I'll sell my 93 Legacy Wagon AWD 5 MT with almost 202K on it for $3000.00 It's black, little rust. Runs great, gets about 27 MPG in the summer. Let me know if interested... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT95 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 In areas that have snow, yes, AWD and 4WD prices typically hold at the higher portion of their range during the cold months. I would say moreso on things 5 yrs old-ish than the 10+ yr old cars. I'm in KY, and anything that is more than a few years old is pretty reasonable as far as your basic Subaru goes. I have a 95 LSi wagon that I have an obscenely small amount of $$$ invested in. Do some internet used auto searches and see where you can find some decent deals in a somewhat close area and make a trip of it. Here's an OH car that looks interesting, depending on the odometer: http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=178312471&dealer_id=55968906&car_year=1992&make=SUB&distance=300&lang=en&max_price=3250&model=LEGACY&end_year=1996&min_price=1&certified=&address=42101&search_type=used&advanced=&start_year=1990&isp=y&cardist=211 Dude, if you want to do a FIY car, here's a 95 for $800!!! Doesn't list exact problems, but I bet engine/tranny problems. It's in OH, so not too far from you. http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=178036342&dealer_id=55940778&car_year=1995&make=SUB&distance=300&lang=en&max_price=3250&model=LEGACY&end_year=1996&min_price=1&certified=&address=42101&search_type=used&advanced=&start_year=1990&isp=y&cardist=186 And an older one w/ some body needs: http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=177287567&dealer_id=55873803&car_year=1991&make=SUB&distance=300&lang=en&max_price=3250&model=LEGACY&end_year=1996&min_price=1&certified=&address=42101&search_type=used&advanced=&start_year=1990&isp=y&cardist=184 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schspeedster Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 I must just be spoiled by the depreciation rates on GM/Ford/Chrysler cars, and being able to pay $500 or less for a 10+ year old car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subarunation 713 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Looking in Lehigh Valley (Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton)Check out Wescosvile Auto Sales. It is Becker's "ugly duckling" lot. If Becker Subaru takes a 9 year old car with 135,000 miles the sell it across the street. I bought a 1993 Legacy wagon from them in 10-2002. It had 132,000 miles on it but was cherry. I was the 2nd owner. Serviced at Becker's from day 1. I picked it up for $2800, drove it 72,000 miles did little to it (repairs) and sold it for $1000. If you want a diamond in the REAL rough go to Joe's in New Ringgold (up 309 and west on 895 or 78 west to 61 north and east on 895). I think it is the 1st Saturday of the month they have an auction and sometimes fixer uppers go through there. After you buy it, you can go to their U-Pull it lot and get whatever parts you need. They have a bilion generation 1 Legacy's (they did after Christmas anyway). Good luck, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger83 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I just checked the Craigslist Boston again. Doesn't seem to be any rationale to pricing. There are '97 OBW for $3,800, $5,000, $6,700, and $7,500. The $7,500 car has 89K and is not a Limited. All the others have over 100K. There are several old Legacys for $500 to $1,500.
