No smart shopper would by a s-titled vehicle. You might find a dumb 16 year old to buy it but only if they have cash. Lending iinstitutions will not loan money on a s-titled vehicle so you would have to find someone that would pay cash also.

Really? I am not that familiar with the Turbo Legacies. He got the car from the auto actution and it is in ruff shape. Do these turbos last very long? It has 185k but runs very strong and the shifts very well, not the typical 3rd gear grind up and down. How rare is the silver color?

Thanks I will post it there.

Is it round?I am working on fitting a piaa 520 into my outback after finding out subaru oem fogs are 129 each and have no replacement lenses. Mine are still good now but cracked so it is only a matter of time.

I agree totally! I have only owned 2 auto one a GL the other a GL-10. The GL-10 you could live with, but the other was unbearable. Terrible on gas, slow, shifted slowly, etc. Especially since you have a stick to compare it to like I did. Stay with the stick.

Bravo!

Just got back from driving it. Engine felt strong, but smoke from passenger side of engine. Is there a seal to the turbo there? Also cv noise on that side, so it could be just grease but when parked it left a dime to quarter sized leak on that size. Body pretty bad, had been hit in the middle and someone pulled the hood back out and used sheet metal screws to hold the front end together. Needs new brake pads, pwr mirrors do not work, windshield made wind noise at speed. Ect. He is asking 1500 and I offered him 500, he walked away. I am thinking on making him sit on it for a few days and then going back with 750??

Well the wife gave me the green light to get a rally cross subaru!! As long as she gets to drive also! I found a 92 Turbo Sedan, 5 spd, 185k. Any particulars I should be aware of on them? LS rear was only available on 91 correct?

You owners manual will tell you capacity. For the rear you can do this, the legacy is .8 qts. The front has a dip stick, and depending if you are stick or auto will determine how much. Stick will be around 4 qts auto 1 qts.

What motor? 2.2 or 2.5?

I have never heard anything bad about their oil from anyone before. I have run their tranny/diff lubs for years and swear by them. The shop I get them from also has a large number of subaru clubs in the area that run all Redline.

I would agree with Setright on running synthetic in your vehicle. I have run it all my for years, my 91 wagon with synthetic got 2mpg better and much better cold start ups. But I disagree about Redline, They have great oil and great axle, tranny gear oils. I know Setright swears by Castrol manual tranny fluid, but here in the US it cost nearly $30 per quart and Redline is $7. Most of the racers I know run redline everything and it works great.

Yes great car with very great reliability, but their Real Time AWD is not even close to Subaru. It is front wheel drive until the rear slips, the VC is in the rear axle.

Toyota Trucks get terrible gas mileage. My buddys tacoma gets 14-16 mpg, has never gotten over 17 on the highway. Even my old hi-lux 4 cyc only got 19 mpg highway. But they are dead reliable.

That is correct No subarus are very easy to work on, and local shops will give you better service than dealerships. Of the above if you are want reliablity stay away from Chrysler, Ford, & GM. And the big 3 have poorly desinged AWD systems. I would say look at toyota, I do not know much about Nissan, I have owned 3 pathfinders over the years, great trucks, somewhat hard to work on. I am not sure how good bad thier AWD system is. Subaru and Audi/VW has the best AWD systems on the market. IMO

Toyota and Honda parts are way more than subaru parts. My last Toyota the alternator was $600. I am not saying they are not good cars, but the parts for subaru are lots cheaper.

Set the brake There are several reasons not to run your tank below 1/4.1st The fuel pump has to work harder the lower the fuel volume in the tank. So the more you keep the tank full, the longer the fuel pump will last. 2nd Sediment at the bottom of the tank can get pulled into the screen that sits before the fuel pump in the tank, causing the pump to work harder, ie not last as long. 3rd Yes you have a fuel filter/s but then you need to change them frequently, plus if they get clogged it can leave you stranded or worse allow contaminates into the fuel system that could damage injectors, fuel rails, etc. 4th Condensation, the lower the tank the more water that can accumulate in the tank, which can cause rust and fuel line issues.

That is great!! I am not siding with the dealership at all. I am just stating legal precedence on this. If you went to court and tried to get them to pay for this it would go like this. Subaru would say that this vehicle slipped through the new car prep, they forgot to cut off the Tie down points. They would state these are not for towing but for use by Subaru in shipping of vehicle from factory to dealerships. They would explain how this is a safety issue and they took them off to protect the consumer. blabla bla And Subaru would win.

Unfortunately they do. If this is a safety issue then they not only have the right, but they are required to do so legally. What if they did not cut them off and the airbags went off? Then they would be liable for a lawsuit because they did not cut them off when they had the vehicle in for service. I do not think there is anything that can be done about it.

96 last year of the 2.2 (5 spd only)96-99 all same auto tranny. Might find a 99 with a phaseII 2.5. Great vehicles, 2.5 has HQ issues so just be prepaired for the repair. I like the 96-99 better than the 00-03.

That is awsome!! I have owned a lot of subaru's I like my 96 best of any of them.

I am not saying it is right, welcome to the world of dealerships. They probably forgot to do it before delivery, and caught it later.

Pay a shop to do flush for you. It is not that messy if you are careful.

I know these are tie downs, and not "offically" to be used for towing points. I would bet they did this for liabilty reasons?

Sears, Walmart, Sams, Costco, Pepboys, etc. Watch them install tires, you will see they all use impact wrench for both on and off. I would not let any of them touch my cars.
