1997 Legacy L $1000

1997 Subaru Legacy L, with power windows, power locks, power mirrors, dual airbags, ABS, AWD, A/C, automatic, and cruise control

The good:
Runs excellent
Brand new tires (Kelly Edge All-Seasons)
Brand new Timing and Accessory belts
Brand new (remanufactured) rear wiper motor
Brake pads have a lot of life left, and are wearing evenly
Brand new fuel filler neck (these commonly rust out, as it did on this car)
2001 Subaru Outback front seats (more comfortable)
Aux input added to the stock radio (listen to your phone, iPod, etc.)
Air Conditioning works, although I just recharged it, so only time will tell how well it works.


The not so good
Transmission is a little sluggish. Some fresh fluid helped it immensely. If I were to hang onto the car, I'd put another few thousand miles on it, and then do another fluid "change" and a new transmission filter).

Struts aren't great, certainly not dangerous or uncomfortable, but will probably be the first mechanical thing needing attention.

Windshield is cracked

Pretty rusty, although it's virtually all cosmetic

Paint, mostly on the bumpers, isn't in the greatest shape



Ultimately, it's not a luxury car, and it's not a particularly attractive car, but it's practical, should be extremely reliable, and reasonable to maintain for many years to come. AWD and ABS are a big help in the snow (snow tires makes them unstoppable, I have an extra set of wheels that would fit on this that I'll let go for cheap if you'd like to go that route).

Clean title, in my name, in hand. Tabs good until December.

Starting at $3000 obo. This might be a little high, if you think so, just keep watching. If it goes a week or so without any concrete offers, I'll lower it.

Might be interested in trades, but cash preferred.

 

Oh yea, it and I are located in Duluth. However, my wife has plans to be in the Twin Cities for various reasons for the next 3 or 4 consecutive weekends, so delivery is certainly possible.

 

Bump. I don't really suspect there's too many people on here in the market for something like this, but it'd make for some good, cheap wheels.....

Down to $2000

I used the A/C yesterday, and it felt great. New front rotors to kill a vibration under braking, but pads didn't need work

 

I can't believe I haven't sold this. I've had 2 outbacks this body style in the last couple years that were considerably less-reliable cars than this, that I sold in a matter of days for over $3k.

Looking at a house next week.....I'll sell this to a MNSubaru member for $1500.

I'll be in the cities the next 2 weekends

 

Back on the market. Fantastic car, I've been driving it a bunch, put about 1k miles on it in the last few months. Alternator went out a few weeks ago, so I replaced that. I'll include a set of XT6 14" alloy wheels if you'd like to get snow tires for it.

If it sells in the next few weeks, I'll sell it for $1000.

 

How many miles are on this? Is it still available?

 

Sorry, it's sold.
