Tsunamijedi Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Im currently looking at a 2005 legacy gt wagon, it has 160k miles, head gasket changed at 88k, looks very well taken care of, what do you guys think? would you buy it? i talked it down to $5700, heres a link https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/d/bothell-2005-subaru-25l-legacy-gt/6924537381.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 With 160k miles on the original motor and turbo, they a crap shoot at this mileage and age. If a replacement motor and turbo are not in your budget, I would look for a different vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, those cars tend to be better taken care of and are more likely to have meaningful maintenance/repair/upgrade records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeuEmMaiMai Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 at 160K? nope, 100% pass you are talking about a 13-14 year old car with a ton of miles on a turbocharger and who knows what else is ready to break on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
