There is over $6,800 in aftermarket parts on the car right now, which does not include labor or miscellaneous parts/materials. That price does not reflect any of the maintenance costs, either. I understand that aftermarket parts depreciate significantly, so I have reflected that in my asking price. KBB on the car in excellent condition is $5,500 and NADA clean retail is $6,500. With that and the aftermarket parts prices in mind, I'd like to get $8,500 OBO. All this car needs is an EJ20/25 and some wider/stickier tires and it's ready for the track.

I'm going to be completely honest about all of the car's imperfections. I am a perfectionist so to most people some of these things may not make a difference, but to me they do! The front half of the car should probably be repainted at some point (lots of rock chips - typical of a car at this age - it's a good 5 footer though) but the body is otherwise immaculate. The back half of the car was repainted when the rust was professionally removed by the previous owner (I have receipts for this). I had three door dings PDR'd when I got the car and have since incurred one more (that's what going to college will do...). There's a very small amount of bubbling near the driver's side rear wheel well (about dime sized). Cruise control is also not connected for some reason. Not a big deal to me since I don't typically use it, but worth noting. The front lip is also cracked. The interior is 8/10. It is CLEAN, but there are some scratches in the plastics, etc. The carpet has one small tear starting under the driver's side floormat but it otherwise looks very good. By the way, you get a set of very clean 2.5RS mats as well as Subaru all weather rubber mats which are also in excellent shape (front and back for both). Also, because of the trunk brace, there is no carpet in the bottom of the trunk (though it does surround the trunk). The car pulls strong and sounds good. The CEL is on for not having cats but is otherwise clear of other codes (you're welcome to read them). I just changed the oil at 100,188 miles so it's good to go for quite a bit longer. I can't think of anything else right now but if you have any questions let me know.

You can also contact me on here via PM. Thanks.
I will have more detailed pictures posted when the weather clears up.

 

Already? I must say I see this car drive by near daily, it's always clean. GL with the sale and the return to the Legacy!

 

omg man.. what an amazing car. i wish i could have it ;P.. why would u sell this for a legacy bro? if i could afford this id love to have it along with my sedan haha.. good luck with sale of such a tastefully modded car

 

Haha... I love the car... don't get me wrong. If I have to keep it I won't be disappointed. A friend's mom is selling a 2005 Satin White Pearl Legacy GT Limited 5 speed with 31,000 miles. It's absolutely beautiful. So if I can sell this I'll pick that up... if not no biggie... I love the ride and reliability!

 

Bump for more pictures!

 

Sale pending...

 

You don't surprise me David LOL

 

I think that I don't surprise a lot of people. I'm getting another LGT Satin White Pearl 5MT Limited with 31,000 miles... you'll be tuning me soon...

 

Sold pending payment.

 

Get that 35r kit first

 

Negative ghostrider. Maybe for the RX-7 though... it'd need to be bigger than a 35R though

Mods: please keep this open in case something falls through.

 

I believe I've seen you a few times at UMD? Nice ride, I am actually looking for a Subaru myself.

 

Yup I go to UMD. You had/have a WRX right?

 

Sold.
