sashadg1 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have a 2005 Black on black wagon GT Limited 5mt in good shape. The motor needs a basic rebuild what do you think this is worth with 110k on it? Not selling here just want to get an idea. KBB said it was worth $7500.00 running. Thank you, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted May 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2012 It's worth more than that running. Less than that in current condition Someone who wants a MT wagon might give you $4-5k for it depending on overall exterior / interior condition. Then again, you might only get $2k for it. Find the perfect buyer who wants to build the car anyway and you might get $6k for it. YMMV.

Shawn06SpecB Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Totally depends. To an enthusiast maybe the 4-5k is reasonable. Probably much less on CL etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 How much is it worth to YOU Scott? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 i'll give you 2k :-) seriously, though, this combination is somewhat rare with 108 units made. If you dont want to fix it, post on lgt.com someone will buy it. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 i'll give you 2k :-) seriously, though, this combination is somewhat rare with 108 units made. If you dont want to fix it, post on lgt.com someone will buy it. Beat me to it. Here's my thread about replacing my short block. I haven't added it up yet, but I figure by the time I'm done it will be over 4000. But I know there are only 108 of these made. The car is a blast to drive. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/got-some-new-stuff-engine-r-r-184106.html Another reason to keep it, the taxes are getting less every year. Someone who buy this, hopefully knows what it is. Check out the cars for sale forum and see what the current asking price is. Sometimes these cars pop up there. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

apexjapan Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 If it is clean, in good shape, and was anywhere near the snow belt, it'd be worth more. As it is, the problem is is that you have it in Cali, which isn't exactly a hotbed of Subaru owners. In Seattle, it'd probably be worth 6-7k as is.

There are several shops in the area that do a really good & inexpensive job of re-motoring Legacy cars. Depending on what you do, <$2500 can get you back on the road. Where $2500 is swapping in a used motor. Of course you can spend stupid money and get a truly great sleeper. Also KBB lies. Running with the timing belt changed is worth closer to 10-12k, at least up north. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexjapan Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 KBB takes into account location, I think. Californians don't love Subaru's as much - not like Seattle where I can drive down any suburb street and see 1 to 10 Subaru's per block (mostly Outbacks). Whereas, every time I drive around LA, I see more Porsches than Subaru's. Makes Cali a good place to look for cheap Subaru's though.

__raj Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 The only people who care about rarity are LGT fans. That being said $7500-$4000 for motor = $3500. However there is a hassle and risk factor of other problems not test driving that to me is about $500-$1000. GLWS or fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashadg1 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Well going ahead and getting it rebuilt and putting some more miles on her before I let it go. I had no idea it was that rare, good to know. Its a blast to drive while it lasted. Going into a VF52 setup with all the goodies. I just could not resist.

wurkenman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I paid the equivalent of 5900 for my 05 LGT with a bad engine. Never even got to drive the car before dragging it home. 05 LGT, RBP. 5MT, 45K on the chassis, interior looks like the it was never even sat in. Then again, I was looking for a Legacy project car for a while. Wise choice to keep it. The wagons are HOT. If you woke up today, you have another chance to do it right.
