Its funny, I was looking at that car earlier, I used to have one almost exactly like it and thought about another one, then I saw it was in NY and changed my mind. (Thats where my last one came from and it completely fell apart, though mine came from close to NYC and NYC drivers are too hard on them.) I look at legacy's occasionally, I miss the space in the back, but I have never had good luck with subaru's. Including my current SVX.
Anyways, congrats on the car!

Sadly the guy I bought it from lied to me about almost everything on the car, and it has needed almost everything from bumper to bumper replaced.

Usually the Brightons are your bare bones base model. Manual everything, including transmission, windows, locks, mirrors. No tach Basically a car body with 4 wheels, and not much else

Brighton edition Legacy's have no tachometer and rear drum brakes. They also don't usually have power locks or windows.

miles are really not as important as they are cracked up to be... how they made it to that mileage is.

I have had plenty of cars sell cheap just because they had alot of miles which, in my opinion, were MUCH better than many of the identical cars that I sold with say half the miles.

Tom, you may not need a whole other cluster if ya want a tach. When I first got my Impreza Brighton, I was able to just screw in the tach itself, keeping my original cluster. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do it with a Legacy as well, I mean the cluster's are all of the same basic general design that way.
