NEFR was as busy as I have ever seen it this year. Even with only 1 4WD open competing. 

These are not as common as the automatics, non-GTs. The price is not too far off some of the less exciting Legacy wagons out there.  NP.

Oh for fucks sakes!! First the Saab and now this. You really don't want my family to have a vacation this year do you?

It’s a pretty easy NP. Mostly because of the manual wagon-ness of it all. I really hope demand for these stays high (for a wagon), and they stay on the road. If they disappear, automakers likely stop making wagons.  We all know that’s bad.

Same as a Camry or Altima. Nothing special.

“There’s nothing at all special about this car.”

A 2005 Subaru Legacy wagon for $8500 with the 2.5L turbo and the manual... and it only has 107,000 miles and hasn’t been modified or beaten to shit?

To be Mr. Consistency here, this one follows the golden rule of ten, over ten years old, over 100,000 miles, under $10,000 by quite a bit. Well maintained Subaru Legacy GT (the family man’s WRX) with a stick for $8,500, easy nice price.  An outback of similar miles and year will cost as much or more these days.

Questions about the mechanicals/maintenance history for me are somewhat resolved merely by the existence of a CRX in the seller’s garage.

A friend of mine has the sedan version of this car - it’s a great car. Fun to drive and reasonably powerful. His has even been reliable (Subaru is probably the only company where the turbos are more powerful than the NA versions).

The only complaint I’d have with his car is that it’s not a wagon. This car fixes that.…

““Unmolested 100% stock.” It also comes with a clean title...”

I can’t believe how much the comment section here contrasts with the response to Friday’s Saab.

Easy NP. Yes, it has >100K miles, but the car seems well-cared for and it’s a SUBARU STICK SHIFT GT. It’ a hoot to drive. 

Look at the current used car market, and consider the rarity of a reasonably quick manual AWD wagon and a decent interior. There aren’t a ton of us out there who want those things, but there definitely aren’t enough of them out there for all of us. Shit I’m considering buying this and I live in Minnesota.

NP. That’s super low miles for a stock suby. Lots of life left and pretty clean for its age. 

first question - last of a breed. Manual, AWD, wagon are pretty much gone over here so scarcity breeds value

Absolutely NP all day long.

NP. Probably the best generation of the Legacy and fun car to drive.

Someone should buy this before the wife burns the clutch trying to learn the art of the modern theft deterrent system.

As someone who owns a turbocharged Subaru and has replaced the motor a few times, this is a NP. Clean exterior and interior. Seems to be family owned. Doing a swap once the inevitable happens would be a hair easier than my 2004 WRX as well. Perfect for a daily driver. Again, I say NP.
