1998 Subaru Legacy Limited Outback, 2.5,automatic on 2040-cars
Monroe, New York, United States
|
Here is a great Subaru that’s been loved by ONE family (3 owners). Used for our summer and winter house commutes along with some work commutes (all highway) It’s been great to us but we need a newer addition to our Subaru collection. Even though we are told this one will last forever with some work-we are just not willing. **We have included as many details as possible so everything is on the table for you.
These are the issues and recommendations from the Subaru guys and our regular mechanics that we just don’t want to invest in the labor costs right now. *We replaced the rear differential 9 months ago, but there is still some occasional noise in rear (possible cv joints?). * Right front axle replaced about 8 months ago *Car is recently mis-firing a bit (oil leak) *There was exhaust noise a few months ago so I had it welded (temporarily). I assume it will need another weld (or self tapping screws?) or simply replaced because noise is back. *Will need tires *Needs tune up *Valve cover gaskets (with other maintenance recommendations, see below in ad) *Possible tie rods .*There are small dings here and there and cosmetic wear with age. The biggest dings were made about 10 yrs ago by trying to park in between two cars in a parking lot as one car was pulling out. Damage was on front of driver side door (SEE PIC). NO body work was ever done on car …which is pretty obvious ;) Frame is fine. *It's almost time for the 105k mile timing belt change-so it was suggested (by friends that had it done) to get the gaskets done for the leak and ask the mechanic to do timing belt and other maintenance while engine is out of car to save a ton of money on labor costs. *There are some wires hanging under the driver side dashboard which is an easy fix to push up that we just haven’t bothered with because it’s basically a cosmetic issue that isn’t ever seen.. *Car runs pretty darn good on the highway, I am sure it would make a decent trip home with you, but no guarantees for an extremely long drive before you tie the exhaust up again. I haven’t taken it very far these days. *Interior is in good -clean shape, new mats great radio/cd system, keyless alarm -which I have currently disabled (but can be enabled) *Power window locks and windows . **SOMETIMES THE DRIVER DOOR POWER LOCK GETS STUCK. We rarely lock our doors where we live but I just manually lock from inside when I need to. *ABS *AWD *Dual airbags *Great on gas! *Clean title and carfax!
Please read this all thoroughly and ask ALL questions and for more pics if needed BEFORE bidding. Car is sold AS IS -WHERE IT IS. Buyer is responsible for ALL aspects of transport. Car has always been smoke and pet free. A NON REFUNDABLE DOWN PAYMENT OF $400 is due within 24 hours of winning bid via paypal. Thanks for looking! |

Subaru planning modular platform, seven-seat SUV, plug-in hybrid
Fri, 09 May 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles isn't the only big name in the auto industry releasing details on its future plans. Subaru, and its parent company Fuji Heavy Industries, is aiming to bump its North American sales up from 478,000 to 600,000 by 2020. Now, that seems pretty reasonable, especially in the face of FCA's hugely ambitious goals for Alfa Romeo and Maserati. It's how Subaru will go about increasing the sales, though, that has us intrigued.
A focus on more fuel-efficient, direct-injection engines will complement a new platform, while the company is contemplating expanding capacity at its Indiana factory, which will now have more room since Toyota Camry production will be ending there.
As for that new platform, it's called the Subaru Global Platform. Original, we know. It's a modular deal and will eventually underpin a vast range of future Subies following its debut in 2016. The new platform may also end up underpinning a seven-seat SUV, which would serve as the successor to the Tribeca and debut between 2016 and 2020, according to Automotive News.
2015 Subaru Legacy, Outback crash their way to IIHS Top Safety Pick+ ratings [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Subaru Legacy and Outback are the latest vehicles to be awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's most prestigious safety title, Top Safety Pick+.
As we've explained many times before, this only applies vehicles that can score an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating on the five IIHS crash tests and earn at least a "Basic" rating for crash prevention systems.
In the Legacy's case, it totally aced IIHS's testing, earning "Good" scores on the small overlap, front moderate overlap, side impact, roof crush and rear impact tests, while also bringing home the top "Superior" rating for its optional EyeSight system.
Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.
