2003 SUBARU LEGACY WAGON "SPECIAL EDITION" for sale by owner! This ALL WHEEL DRIVE wagon has been very well maintained all it's life and has NEVER been abused. It has all the usual features - such as one of the world's best ALL WHEEL DRIVES, legendary reliability and longevity combined with a VERY REASONABLE fuel consumption for a car of this size and power. In order to pass the requirements for the certification, my mechanic installed BRAND NEW FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, they also changed the engine oil and filter less than 100 kms ago. Timing belt and water pump were done at 196 K and the head gaskets were replaced at the same time, using the thicker gaskets from the STI engines. This absolutelly eliminates any risk for future head gasket problems. The car is equipped with POWER SEATS - HEATED, POWER WINDOWS, POWER DOOR LOCKS, POWER MIRRORS - HEATED, AIR CONDITION, FACTORY AM/FM/TAPE/CD PLAYER, MULTIPLE AIR BAGS, KEYLESS ENTRY, REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASH SYSTEM, SPLIT REAR SEAT. Ther are 2 sets of wheels for the car, 1 set of steel rims with VERY GOOD UNIROYAL WINTER TIRES, and 1 set of ALUMINUM WHEELS WITH PIRELLI SUMMER TIRES, currently on the car. I took the car as "partial trade in" on a bigger deal and have too may cars as it is; I will be glad to answer any related question by e-mail and will show the car to serious buyers by appointment.

Common Nissan Maxima vs. Subaru Legacy breakdowns

Tue, Mar 29 2016

The Nissan Maxima and Subaru Legacy are both popular sedans. Similarities can be seen in price, styling, and performance. What are some common repair problems seen in each model? When do they occur and how much do they cost to fix? What about how to pay for car repairs? Let's find out. Check Engine Light Both Maxima and Legacy owners dread the appearance of this little light. In the Nissan, it's most likely a failed ignition coil. This part transforms the car battery voltage into a higher voltage required for starting. This problem appears more often in Maximas with over 140,000 miles. The cost to replace the ignition coil runs around $400, parts and labor. The check engine light on the Subaru Legacy is more often due to a failed oxygen sensor. The O2 sensor measures the oxygen level in the exhaust and can affect fuel consumption. This part fails more frequently in models with over 110,000 miles. The repair costs around $200. Legacy Sound System Problems It's not uncommon for the Legacy to have sound system failures at 140,000 miles or more. The speakers might not work or only function intermittently. Hitting a bump might also cause the radio to shut off. Repair costs here can vary, but the typical charge is around $600. Nissan Check Engine Light Part 2 The Nissan check engine light also may appear due to oil leaking from the camshaft position sensor. Difficulty with stalling and acceleration might occur as well. The repair costs around $250 and is more frequent in models with over 104,000 miles. Big-Ticket Items Some repairs are especially costly. In Maximas with over 120,000 miles, the power steering pump may begin to malfunction. This produces a clunking or knocking sound when driving over uneven terrain. Steering might be affected with abnormal noises heard when turning the steering wheel. A Nissan Maxima power steering pump replacement costs around $1,250, parts and labor. Now, if you begin to feel your Legacy vibrating or shuddering at around 116,000 miles, it may be a transmission problem. It's more noticeable when the car shifts gears. Legacy transmission repair can be expensive, costing up to $2,000 or more. Even more costly is a Subaru Legacy head gasket failure, seen more often at 110,000 miles or more. AC malfunction, fluid leaks, and engine overheating can occur when the head gasket fails. The repair costs are around $3,000.

Evo shakes down Subaru WRX STI on Swedish tarmac

Mon, 19 May 2014

The Subaru WRX STI has never let anyone question its intentions. With a gaping hood scoop up front, massive rear wing at the back and often found with gold wheels spinning all four corners at the ground, there was never anything subtle about this Subaru. The latest 2015 version is made up of many new parts, but the formula certainly hasn't changed. Evo's Henry Catchpole aims to find if it all still jives together on some misty, Swedish backroads in a new video.
Surprisingly, the movie eschews Evo's standard shtick of big, smoky powerslides in favor of a legitimate review of the new STI. However, this isn't Consumer Reports. As the screenshot above implies, Catchpole isn't afraid to chuck the car around a little and put two wheels off the road all in the name of testing the severe sedan's limits. He just puts an equal amount of focus into how it actually drives.
Autoblog's Steven J. Ewing fell in love with the Subie when he did our First Drive. Does Catchpole concur? Scroll down to watch the STI snaking through Sweden and find out.

Subaru reveals coupe-like 2015 Legacy Concept ahead of LA show

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Subaru has pulled the covers off its 2015 Legacy Concept before the car's debut at the LA Auto Show next week. The sedan trades in its relatively staid styling for a more aggressive, coupe-like design that almost makes us forget about the rear doors from some angles. Overall, the Legacy looks beefier than your average Subaru, similar to the Ford Taurus.
The concept's character line stretches all the way back to a small trunk, which helps the car achieve its coupe-like appearance. But the front end makes the biggest impression, with "hawk-eye" headlamps and a gaping hexagonal grille with three horizontal slats. The taillights have a shape similar to the headlamps to "enhance the solidity of the overall design," Subaru says.
Custom paint called Ocean Silver Metallic adorns the concept, which sports 21-inch wheels under bulging wheel arches that Subaru says hints at the standard all-wheel-drive system (the BRZ is the only two-wheel-drive Subie).
