December 20, 20178 yr 205K Looks good in pictures. Any known issues on these cars? Any thing to look out for? Thanks!
December 20, 20178 yr Tons of known issues. Turbo failures, piston ring land failures, oil pickup tube failures. Google those to get started down the rabbit hole. 2005/6 Legacy turbo models with over 200k are synonymous with boondoggle. As far as I'm concerned that's a rolling chassis that needs a new engine. Whoever buys it just doesn't know that yet. GD
December 21, 20178 yr ^+1000 ....and CVs and Suspension issues, too. Used Subarus w/turbos are similar to taking your wallet/purse, putting $ in it and then throwing it off the bridge. Only difference is someone may return the wallet. If you can't verify w/receipts, etc. that the engine was replaced w/NEW (never -shudder- used) and all the related turbo bits are also new, you're likelihood of become 'besties' w/your local Subaru guru are quite high. Personally I'd still like to have one of the OB XT's but it's just too even though I'd do a lot of the repairs myself.
