cepher Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I know this is a legacy forum. But I think it's the same car with a different rear. I'm thinking about buying a 2005 Baja Turbo with 140K on it. Any advise on red flags etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outback2.5XT-05 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Hello and welcome! I am pretty sure that you are correct about it more or less being a legacy but with a few exceptions. I would highly recommend that you get it checked out by a mechanic familiar with turbo subarus prior to purchase and find out: Service history? Original engine? Original turbo? Have the banjo screens checked or removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmedic Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 It's a gen 2 outback with a reworked hatch, and as it's a turbo motor, they borrowed the driveline from the Forester XT (for the most part). Neat truck. I have one. Same issues apply to it as do most turbo subarus, and subarus in general. There is a baja subforum over on NASIOC that used to be a little more active. . . but NASIOC in general. . . tis a silly place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
