SRT-4 for a Legacy GT?
 

Hey everyone!

Been lurking around here for a while now. I have decided that I would like to upgrade to an 05-07 Legacy GT Limited. I love my neon, but getting followed by cops and dumbasses trying to race for pink slips on my way to work has gotten old.

I am pretty sure I will look for a manual transmission, although there are a lot of tempting 5eat cars for good prices.

Question: Should I look for a car under 105k or try to find a really good deal on a Legacy GT with over 120k? My neon has 125k on it now, and with routine maintenance it has been perfect. I have found good deals on legacys, but I get scared when the post mentions "super fast" if it is a private seller.

Does anyone have any horror stories of Legacys from a private sale?

Thanks, and here is a picture of my SRT-4!

some lower mi lgt's may be in rougher shape than a nice high mileage lgt. try to find an MT. if at all possible, and I stress this, get a compression test if you're serious about the vehicle. these cars can dump compression much like your srt-4

I double this ^

Clean Neon by the way.. I'm sure you're sick of being told "it's still a Neon" too. Don't worry, with the LGT, you'll only be called a WRX so it's not that bad. :D

LOL or a Camry!

clean srt. makes me miss my flame red. good luck with the search. "sorry for off topic"

I had a Silver 04', stage 2. It was crude but lots of fun. Those cars will take a lot more abuse than the Subaru will.

I saw one do this rally cross thing when I was living in Orlando and it did quite well.. now my Sentra on the other hand... it got stuck.

My first car was a 99 Neon. always wanted an srt-4, they look like they are ready to pounce!

So I test drove my first Legacy GT....loved it! It was a 5eat and was actually impressed enough to consider a good deal on one. I still want a 5 speed manual and hope to look at one shortly. The only thing that pisses me off is no aux.....I know there is a way around it, but it will be a big adjustment going from bluetooth streaming to nothing until I can get an aux input set up.

No aux in 05 but search for the jazzy kit to help that. The later model leggies have an aux input.

The 5eat sucks up all the power. If you were impressed by it, you'll be blown away by the manual.

True words ^..

With the turbo i'm running, i'm missing out on at least 30whp i'd have to assume. It's upsetting lol.

Just don't get an ACT clutch unless you pry bear traps open on a regular basis.

Manual is the way to go.

Just look on the classified for some, there should be plenty of good used ones for sale.

Believe 07 and newer have the Aux but 08-09 for sure though

^yup. 07-09 have an aux.
