Replying to: guss (Jan 07, 2009 7:06 pm) he told me he'd post more pics on wednesday, but still nothing. I find it very hard to believe folks are willing to pay nearly $5k on a car with no info and no good pics. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 07, 2009 7:13 pm) don't like the wheels. the exhaust system is strange, although looks good. should be straight duals with a cross over pipe(H). seems pricey without a 350.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 07, 2009 9:18 am) I posted it in your forum because of the number of people familiar with old beaters like my Ranger didn't mean to intrude. Thanks

I had to ask you- do you still own the '97 Subaru Legacy Outback that you purchased a while back? How is it running as of late? More importantly, what do you make of its driving characteristics, in comparison to the many European cars you've owned? I'm asking because I am about to receive a free car (yes, free) from an elderly friend of my mother's who is no longer able to drive because she is in her 90's. It's a '98 Subaru Legacy wagon and only has 59k original miles on the clock. I know nothing about Subarus at all. Does that generation have any serious problems or bad points I should know about before taking possession of the car? Also, I want to modify it a little bit to make it steer and handle like my Volvos.

Replying to: jrosasmc (Jan 08, 2009 8:45 am) Weaknesses? Well if the car has the 2.5L engine, you have to worry about head gaskets at around 90K-110K. As for handling, I would think they already handle better than your Volvo, since they are AWD. As for steering, that might depend a lot on the tires on the car. Lucky you--this will be the best car you ever owned, probably. It's no "sports car" and I can't say it's exciting, but it's very useful, great in snow and rain, tough, not hard to fix or maintain, and comfortable enough for 2-3 hour drives. |

My friend's car is a base L model. It has the 2.2-liter engine so I shouldn't have any worries, no? It's an automatic, too.
