is this just for you old school Sube drivers? Or if I have my new Legacy by then can I come? :-D

I have a noise coming from the drivers side front tire when I apply the brakes. My only guess is that the brake pad is so far worn down that its just pressing metal against the roter or whatever it does...heh. My question is...are there any other things that would make this sound when you press on the brakes? Or is my guess most likly correct?

look for a 1995 Legacy L. I am semi-tall (6ft1in) and its very comfortable. Recently I saw a 1995 Legacy L with 90k miles for $4400 at a small dealer. It was sold before I could go look at it....but for the price and that low of miles...heh...it woulda been a sweet ride if it wasnt abused by the prev. owner.

If I could find a mint 1995 Legacy L like I have now...i'd buy it in a heartbeat. I don't really know if I want to drop down $20k for a 2004 Legacy L...they are not as nice looking...the fake wood trim...and some say they are not very reliable. I am sure they are more reliable than the Buicks and etc. that beat them in that article...just depends on how you care for it. The Legacy we have now didn't go in for any of the check ups. We changed the oil every 3,000 miles and used a Subaru filter. The timing belt lasted 190,000 miles...and so did the clutch. Right now there is almost 210,000 miles on it..and still going. I know I will be disapointed if I don't see 200k miles on ...but I think with proper care it'll outlast any other vehicle around $20,000.

Yeah...when my gauge reads 1/4 tank I have around 1/2 a tank. Its tricky. :-/

Coolent temp. sensor? When mine went I had terrible gas mileage...it was like gas was being dumped into the engine. My CEL came on for that...is yours on?

Heh...my mom did the same thing. The radio was all weird. Wouldnt keep the set stations and the time. I was thinking of putting my new CD player in the slot below so I can see it better when the cup holder is open...I dunno if I feel like taking it out or not. :-/

1995 SUBARU Legacy sedan, 5 speed, AWD, 89,000 miles, $4,450. So I might go look at it today. I'd love another 1995 Legacy...5 speed...I just wish they mentioned color and other things. If it was silver or grey, had a sunroof, spoiler, or both...i'd buy the thing for sure...heh. I hope its nice or its a wasted trip to go look at it :-/

That isn't bad. I am looking at the Toyota Corolla S. Loaded for $16,400...for an Impreza with the stuff it has it'd be like $26,000 or so...heh. I also looked in to VWs...but they start to get expensive. Hyundais...but I don't really like them. Mazda...they seem like junk. Toyta seems like my best bet.

I wonder if it has that ugly fake wood on the dash. That is the one thing that is making me not get another Legacy (that and I cannot afford a new Subaru) In late 1995 my mom paid like $15k for the Subaru we have now. Cruise control, power windows, power locks, power mirrors. Those are the only fetures it has. I love it...but now a days a Legacy with the same stuff goes for $25k...makes me sad.

My 95 Legacy sedan had the same problem on the passanger side fender...then I hit a street sign with that fender...so its not worth fixing. I took it to the car wash and pressure washed it until it all came off...I was gonna put some clear fingernail polish over it to keep it from doing it anymore...but now I need a new fender. BTW, my Legacy is also a 5 speed...but with 206,000 miles :-x. I hope to see 300k.

wow...catching on fire...thats not good.

Use some Ferbreeze to cover up the smell :-x

My 1995 Legacy (5 sp.) does 3k RPM @ 70MPH

In my 5 speed Legacy the parking brake light will come on when its really cold because the brake does not go down all the way...and its also really hard to shift...if I let it warm up, or after a few miles all is well. Only happens when its below 20 deg. or so.

Anyone here have any horror stories about Sears automotive and oilchanges? They are having a special now...$21 and $5 mail in rebate...so like $16 for oil, filter, and change. I'd do it myself...but I have an old Oldsmobile my grandparents gave me in the garage and its to cold and wet to do it in the driveway.Anyone here have any horror stories about Sears automotive and oil changes?

I know Wal*Mart is just awful with their automotive departments (A buddy of mine worked at one…heh) So yeah…any info on Sears and if they are good or not is helpful. Thanks

I found them online brand new for like $90-some. Mine is dark green...but any color would do and I could just have it painted eventually.

My front pass. side fender had an encounter with a sign and now its bent to hell and all scratched up...I was wondering if anyone knows how much a used one would cost of a 1995 Legacy L Sedan? Thanks.

Sounds like cam seals. That is what mine did when they were bad. It was under $1000 for parts and labor...and we also had the timing belt done then, too.

wow @ the full tank of gas on the 100k shot....heh...I havnt bought more than $6 in gas in months :-x

What year did they start putting the 2.5l engines in Legacy's that did not have that head gasket problem? I am thinking about buying another 1995 when mine goes, or just getting a newer one. 203,000 miles and still going

Go 111 MPH when you do all that with the 1's

When my Subaru hit 200,000 miles I took a picture of it with my camera on my cell phone...i'll post the picture some day when I find it.

Go to an Auto Zone. They check the codes for free. It might be something like engine coolent temp. sensor or something minor. Get the code pulled to be sure. And after you fix it, unhook the battery for 30 minutes and hook it back up and it'll reset it.

Nope. When my mom first bought the car back in 1995 she didn't think it had a light...but it came on and we can get about 40+ miles from the time the light comes on. Sometimes it comes on and goes out...and other times it stays lit. (it flashes when the gas level is low and i'm on a hill or something but stays lit when i'm really low on gas)
