    I about to pull the trigger on this 06 Legacy GT. 75k Miles, heated leather seats and a sunroof. Talked to dealer down to 11,500$. Any thing I should know?

    LGT'S are by no means my specialty, but there is some oil sending unit or line that has issues. If I wasn't at work I could look it up. Hit up the Legacy portion forums, they should be able to help you out better. Price seems right for the mileage.

    On the oil feed line there is a screen that gets clogged up, they can starve the turbo of oil and lead to failure.

    I've had a couple of these. My first one had 68k on it and a turbo that was gggggone. So I took it to the dealer and said, you fix! So they did. After that I never had a single problem and REALLY loved it. Also had a wagon after that and that had 65k when I bought it. No issues ever from that one. I say as long as the turbo is good, then go for it (if you haven't already). But I'd recommend checking and or removing that banjo bolt filter as well.
