Arkangel Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 There is a 1997 Legacy GT wagon with 410k miles on craigslist. I am tempted to pick it up for my first subie, but even on a car like this that mileage is kindof scary (I am no mechanic ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 You americans and your high milages. I just can't grasp the huge distances in the states. High milage here in NZ is about 150,000k's, or about 100,000miles. Over that you best be getting a bloody cheap car. A 98 GTB with 100,000miles on the clock here will go for about $4000us, for a damn good condition one. Anyway, just over 150,000K's on mine, poor thing's getting over driven.

98LGTLover Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Haha in the pacific northwest US, where I live, you are extremely lucky to find a Subaru will less than 150,000 miles. All of the ones up here have 150,000 to 250,000 miles and they are still selling for at least $4,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedmorepsi Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 My 96 GT just turned 109,000 miles, chassis and drivetrain minus engine. Though the 04' WRX motor in her just turned 8,000 miles or so since it's build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedmorepsi Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Bought mine in sept 2008 with 87k miles. Now it has 108k miles ... And I'm going to be adding another 1000 next week. I've put about 1500 miles on my LGT since December. LOL So I will soon be the lowest mileage Lego on here.  1997 LGT Wagon. 98,000 miles (just hit the mark) Light mods, mostly lowered susp. from previous owner. Purchased with 91,000 miles last May. Only issue is I'm getting horrible gas mileage (17city/22hwy/9 in snow conditions) Same here man. Edited March 25, 2010 by ineedmorepsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaz98gt Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I found a 1992 ford escort the other day with 756.7 miles on the clock. everything was mint. apparently the lady who bought it drove it to DC and back, then parked it in her garage and never moved it. if I was a fan of a 92 escort (like EVERYONE in the world), i'd pick it up haha.

Jeepaddict Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Bought my 1998 Legacy outback wagon with 220,000 kms a couple of months ago for $800. The 2.5 engine had been replaced under warranty at 90,000 kms. Replaced all 4 doors as they were rusted through halfway up the doors, did back brakes and lines, two used tires, fixed rockers and small holes in both rear quarters, couple more odds and ends. Need to install used gas tank from jy, (dealer wanted $700 for the tank only). Gas mileage was not what I expected. Car had been parked a year, checked air filter and it was plugged solid. Checked mileage with new air filter and seen 24mpg & 22mpg at interstate speeds mixed with city driving, will see if it is better with new tank and lines replaced above tank. Will do plugs as well.  I really like the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98LGTLover Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Subidude24, is your car a manual? I'm guessing it is. Kaz, how many miles does your body have on it and how many does your engine have on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
