mepr Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Hello, Im thinking of buying an older Legacy wagon ($500) what type of stuff should i be looking for, it looks like a late 80s modle. A friend of mine has one whith 230,000 original miles on it so i thought it might be worth a shot. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mepr Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 well i met up whith the guy selling it and drove it some. The CVs are making a perty good clacking noise and the rear wheel bearings are humming a bit. It has 166,000miles on it. Is that about the time for major internal work to be done?

GeneralDisorder Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Legacy's came out here in the states in 90, and are technically "new gen", so you might ask this in the other forum. But basically axles and wheel bearings are common maintenance items on any vehicle. The engine if it was properly cared for is almost new at 166k. That's nothing for an EJ22.
