Thanks everyone for your ideas - I think it was the starter contacts. I replaced them and so far so good. serac

Hi, About two months ago my 96 Legacy was slow to start - eventually it turned over but it took a few tries. Bought new battery, seemed to help but lately when I turn the key over I get nothing (no clicks, no turning over) but get full (I think) juice (all dashboards lights are bright, headlamps come on...). After 5-7 repeated attempts at turning the key over, the engine will suddenly turn over and the car starts right away. This problem is usually worse in the morning. After driving the car for a few miles, it seems like it starts right away after turning it off, even if it sits for a few hours. Anyone know what the likely problem is? Or can you steer me towards any past helpful discussions? By the way, I assume it's somewhat common (I recall a similar problem in my old '86 Suby wagon years ago). Thanks so much, Serac 1996 Subaru Legacy LS 170,000 miles, automatic
