93legacytouringturbo Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I bought a 93 legacy touring wagon a month ago.I got it for ski trips to Lake Tahoe,in fact,I drove it up to Tahoe 3 days after I got it,looking for snow packed roads to test out the 4wheel drive.I paid top dollar(6000.00) for it,but it only had 75000 miles on it and really clean and well cared for.The car ran like a top on the trip.Got all my ski gear packed in easily,with room to spare.Do all of you take your cars to the subaru local dealerships or independent mechanics?I went to the local dealer to replace a fuse,and I knew more about it(owners manual) than the parts counter guy.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattocs Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Is it a turbo? That is low mileage for a 1993. I take mine to the dealer for some stuff, and a local shop for other stuff. Pretty much anything engine related I go to the dealer for...but brakes, tires, clutch, etc. i'd go to whatever is cheapest (Usuly not the dealer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jclay Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I only go to the dealership as a last resort. there are allot of helpful people on this board, who give me the knowledge to do most stuff myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I don't go to Dealers, I go to the board! This board seems to know a heck of a lot about Subies and what ails them. Welcome to the board, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixon Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 If it go's wrong, don't take it to a dealer. They know where the drain plugs are, and how to bleed the coolant, but subarus don't go wrong, and they're stumped.Take it to a proper mechanic. [Check his{or her} finger nails for evidence].

93legacytouringturbo Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Thanks for the feedback....that was my impression of local dealership(kinda shakey on replacing a fuse).I'll start asking local subaru owners and I will post any problems here on the board.My wagon is really fun to drive.

sregor13 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 FYI- I have been looking for a touring Wagon for three years know. Nice SCore! Careful with the heads on that Turbo. I think you paid a fair price for such a rare car. BTW- Which Fuse, I have a 90 that I am parting out. Let me know if you need anything.

93legacytouringturbo Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Thanks for the feedback.The wagon runs great and is fun to drive(my 1st car with a turbo).When I popped off fuse box lid at dealership,there was a extra(15)inside,so I popped it in and on my way,thanks though.
