HammrsHell Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I am looking at a 2007 Subaru Legacy Sedan GT Spec B with 53k miles. It is listed for $18,997, I was thinking about offering 17k, but I was wandering if yall could help me figure out what the going price for one of these are. Also, I am new to Subarus, Legacys especially. What all do I need to look for to show signs of wear or abuse, other than how the clutch feels? Also, it the engine cover is missing, and I see blue silicone, which tells me something has been done ast some point to the engine. http://photos.ecarlist.com/CO/Tw/Kp/wQ/IK/we/Qc/hx/uh/4D/sw_800.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogos Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 17k would be a ok price if car is stock and unmolested. If you are new to subarus -bring someone that isn't also compression test is a must, leak down optional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is that this car is out of state, I am not sure where to get a compression test done at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogos Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 you are not the first one buying car out of state. Google is your friend. There is some kind of auto shop on every other corner ...pretty much anywhere. Now you just have to narrow it down to those that actually know subaru. Best way is to post location of the car and let people from the area tell you how it is service wise. I am sure there is something within 50miles of car location...or at least someone from this forum with some wrenching knowledge that can take a look for a case of beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogos Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 it has aftermarket intake (?) so my first question is - was it tuned for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogos Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 look at turbo, heat shield, bolts. You will be able to tell if it's original. Subaru puts paint markings on most of the critical bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammrsHell Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 it has aftermarket intake (?) so my first question is - was it tuned for it? It looks like it comes with an AccessPort http://photos.ecarlist.com/e2/7p/C6/vG/Rg/7J/nG/mQ/kt/bz/zQ_800.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammrsHell Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Also, here is a link to the car. Sorry i didnt provide it earlier: http://www.ecarone.com/web/used/Subaru-Legacy-Sedan-2007-Carrollton-Texas/6268746/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer1.8 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The headlights look to have been cleared as well. The accessport in interesting. Can you see if it has an aftermarket downpipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammrsHell Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 I just noticed the cobb logo on the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 So, according to Carfax, someone just bought it a month ago and now it's for sale again? The dealer isn't trying to ask arm&leg for it? I bet the engine is about to blow. Do not buy w/o a compression check. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew888 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Also ask if you can plug in the AP to read what maps are on it. 9 out of 10 times previous owners don't clean up what maps are on there and that may give you a better idea of what life its led.

a93x Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Are you near cobb plano? I would have them do a pre purchase/ pre dyno inspection on it before hand. Don't go to a dealership for an inspection torque impresses girrls, hp impresses flat-bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
