Yet ANOTHER set of keys...

Yesterday I let my ebay impulses get the better of me and I won myself (what I hope to be) my new DD, provided I can sell my 07 SE (I hate payments...)

2000 Legacy Limited Wagon with a 5 speed!



The car does have a pile of miles on it (211k), but talking to the owner, it seems to be in decent order and it will need a little TLC, but no major issues.

I will most likely pick it up Friday or sometime next week, whenever I have a chance. I want to get it home, cleaned up and take some decent photos of it.

Mike,
Is it actually an Legacy Outback wagon? I'm currently looking at a '99 Legacy Outback wagon on eBay with 132k on it.

No issue with the 2.5l in the 99s and 00s regarding leaking HGs?

Head gaskets? wouldnt worry about a little thing like that, seeing as we have the motor from Dr. SUS we can always rebuild and drop in just kinda hanging around the shop...


Mike, looks like youll be picking up another new old legacy wagon only days before Reading...lol

That was an issue with the 2.5's in the 96 Legacy's, like mine but it was fixed in 97+.

Congrats Mike, very nice find.

Should have seen the HG in the Dr SUS Why do you think it got an EG33... More time than money also had something to do w/ it

Actually.. The head gasket issue we finally resolved by Subaru late 2003 with another revision of the gasket.

I had a 2000 and a early 2003 that the HG went on. The Phase 2 blocks leak externally vs the phase 1 internal leaks though.

The 2000+ has a stop leak additive that stops most head gasket leaks as long as it is added with every coolant change.
