Jeffzguy Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 There is this nice looking 1998 Legacy GT Sedan in a dealer that's been there for months and I am wondering why? It is 5-speed, has 17x,xxx miles. I have not found out when/if the head gasket was done. But when I found it it was at 8k now they want 6k for it. I am thinking that I can go in and get if for 4 grand maybe... When do the head gaskets usually go out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimfast Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 if it has 170k+ on it i would assume the head gaskets have been done. around 100k i believe is average for the head gaskets on these 2.5s. of course it could be less too. do you have a link to their site? im wondering why they would ask 8k in the first place for an 98 with 170k+ thats way over book value even if its limited in excellent condition. id be careful if i was you.

Jeffzguy Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 I called and they say they don't have it anymore but they have some other Legacy GT's and some other Subaru's. Kinda annoying that they keep re-posting it if they don't have it. A few days later they posted it again... Very annoying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You can find 05 GT's on here for 8 or 9000. Why would somone pay that for a 98' ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

I think you meant to say a 4th gen with an open source tune. The AP is a joke compared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
