Guest jclay Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 $2500 for a '95 legacy wgn w/ 180k miles? I haven't seen this car yet, it's down the road from where my mom lives, and mom, knowing i'm hunting for a new sube, spoke to the owner. Apparently, depite the high milage, it runs like a champ, has no problems, and is well maintained. The current owner has 3 full books of maintanance logs on it, and, if she can't sell, is planning to drive it to seattle. I'll know more after i look at it. Any gut reactions?

Gravityman Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 2500 is kinda steep for 180K on any car. I would at least try to have her drop it some. I payed 1100 for my 89 xt6 with only 130k. You could probably find something better for that price or something cheaper for the miles. but thats my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderhound Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 2500 isn't too much for a 2.2 w/ 180K. It easily has another 75-100K in it. Especially if it's been maintained as well as it sounds. Rust? And transmission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handtool Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I paid $2000 for a '95 legacy sedan with 150K. Body and interior were in good shape tho. No maitenance paperwork. I would have gladly paid $2500 for proof of maintenace. I say if you can live with the condition of the interior/exterior you will get your $2500 out of it mechanically.

kevinsUBARU Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Sounds about right to me, but I am sure I don't have to tell you that private sales usually have some room to move cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg41383 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I'd try to talk the price down, but its not all that unreasonable in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axgutt Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 If it's in really good shape, I think $2500 is reasonable. I paid $2300 for my 95 Legacy L wagon with 175,000 miles almost two years ago. This was down in Newport News, Virginia where Subaru's aren't too popular. It now has 232,000 miles and I think it's finally broken in. Other than oil changes I've put about $1000 into it, but I'd consider all of it to be maintenance. The bulk of that was at 180,000 for the major 60,000 mile service interval - I got a timing belt, new plugs and wires, brakes, filters all around, fluids all around . . . The only other things I've had done were one wheel bearing and a new battery. I'll get pretty much the same stuff done in a few months when I hit 240,000. I also keep expecting the clutch or some engine seals to go out at some point, but in the grand scheme of things that's no big deal. Given that I drive 30,000 miles a year, $1000 every couple of years is pretty great. With a little luck I should hit 300,000 in 2007. Adam $2500 for a '95 legacy wgn w/ 180k miles?

Guest jclay Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I should have mentioned that it's a 5-speed, an I'm assuming the great 2.2...hope to take a look this weekend. The seller actually originally said $3000, but would go as low as the $2500...I'm thinking maybe $2200.Thanks again for all input, Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
