No, it's actually not for sale, but i want people's oppinions.

 

I'm looking at selling my legacy.

 

Even though i don't have any recent pictures, i'll do my best to describe the car and get pictures as soon as i can find my camera post-moving.

 

Specs:

1996 Legacy LS

Green

EJ22

130k miles

Moon roof

15" alloys

 

Mods:

Glass Pack

Outback struts

Hella 500 Driving lights

 

Damage:

Rust on "the spot" (right rear 1/4 by the well)

---it has rusted through.

some minor front bumper damage

---holes where Hellas are mounted

---bottom middle has been cut off due to cracking from parking blocks

some minor rear bumper damage

---paint cracks on right corner

AC clutch chirps

Telescope antenna snapped (will fix)

 

Is Due For:

Timing belt, water pump (makes noise), etc

 

Notes:

Telescope antenna on a switch because CD player is not compatable - will replace with stock stereo

New factory speakers

New DutyC

AWD-4WD ready (wires are set up, just attach a switch)

New MAF

New Knock Sensor

 

 

Basically, what i'm thinking is that it'd be a fine car for a college kid or s new driver.

 

i'd love to hear oppinions on its worth.

1996 Legacies in really nice condition are listing for $3k-$3500 around here, and that's for no visible rust and not needing any maintenance. Based on your description, my guess is that it's worth around $2000.

 

If you sell it to a college kid or something, I think it's only fair to be sure that they know it's due for a $600 maintenance item. My experience is that most kids are going to spend almost all of their cash on a car, which may not be much cash, leaving nothing for repairs.

in all honesty, i'd say around $1000-1300. i see them in that range in simular sounding condition to yours.

yeah, that's about what I was thinking, especially because of the maintinence that needs to be done.

 

just driving down the road it looks like a fine car (there's no real body damage unless you're looking for it.)

Lemme speak to my folks. I'm that 21-year old college kid that people have mentioned in this thread. I have about $5k to buy me a car and groceries for the rest of the semester, and am hoping to save $2k for plane tickets to study abroad in the spring. I am broke as all get-out. But in love with Subaru.

we could potentially meet half way. it's 7 hours from Hilliard (Columbus), OH to Charlotte, NC. but, all this depends on when my wife gets a job. once she gets a job, i get a car....see how that works? heh heh

 

she had an interview yesterday so if all goes well it'll be up for sale in about a month.
