Thanks for the replies. I plan on buying the car & will see what the dealer mechanic has to say about the vibrations. I'll let you know.

OK so if the axle was replaced & this is the problem - how big of a problem is it? I want to buy this car & have minimal worries.

There is no evidence of an axle replacement on the car history that the dealer reported. But I am not sure that it would be?? Should that be a part of their disclosure?

I recently lost my 1992 Legacy wagon to an accident. It was hit while parked & I am mourning her loss. I have recently found a 2000 Legacy L wagon to replace her, but I have some concerns. This car is offered from a dealer & has 62k miles - in good shape (body wise). The only thing wrong is is vibrates when idle. When my husband & I took it for a test drive, it ran great (there is an alignment problem but easily fixed) but it vibrates like hell when in drive at idle. Any ideas? I want to buy this car but am worried that this might be a bigger problem. Any help is appreciated.
