Thanks for all of the info. Says h4 and when I look up engine its the 2.2l. I called the local Subaru dealer and going by the VIN it has never been worked on at their dealership. The people selling this car have no records of what has been done. Is replacing the timing belt only required on the 2.5l engine? The dealer said if they replace just the belt it would be around $650. Does that seem reasonable? I am kind of nervous to buy such a old car but the body is very clean and has low miles. this is a link to the car https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?sourceContext=carGurusHomePage_false_0&formSourceTag=112&newSearchFromOverviewPage=true&inventorySearchWidgetType=AUTO&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=d378&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity2=&zip=49441&distance=10&searchChanged=true&modelChanged=false&filtersModified=true#listing=138278627

I am looking for a good used car and found a 99 legacy with 81xxx miles on it. Has a H4 engine and the body looks clean no rust. They want 3995 for it. I know nothing about these cars and was hoping for some input about what to look for and how much to spend. I have a company vehicle so this car might get driven 3000 miles a year and kept in a garage the rest of the time.
