sweet lookin motor alrite! just a bit over my budget! is there anything i should look out for before i pay for this in full? know a fair bit about cars im just a subaru virgin! :hammerhead:
 
Run it on Maxol E5 with a good octane booster like Lucas or NF to prevent any serious knock due to bad fuel.
They run a fairly high compression engine for a turbo car and don't like low octane fuel at all!
Are you getting a guarantee with it? You should get a good full service done somewhere after you collect it and get a diagnostics check done just to make sure all the sensors are in good order, lots of people in the traders section very good at that work :icon_grin: The lambda sensor can be very expensive.
Check that the radiator is in good nick, I think they were a weak point on some of the early leggys. :ponder2:
Check that the brake callipers are in good working order, I think the 2 pots can sometimes develop sticky pistons after a few years.
Check that the idle is nice and steady when fully warmed up, if it's all over the place then it could be a sign that the MAF is on the way out.
The timing belt is due at either around 90K Km or every 5/6 years I think.
That's all the Legacy specific things I can think of for now :ponder: :icon_grin:

:subaru:
 
thanks for the info m8!! :thumbsup: no im not gettin a guarantee with it. gettin it at a good price though. drove it and it feels good and tight. brakes feel good.it ran out of nct in june 2007 though. another thing i found strange!! so that means gettin it tested twice over the next six months!!!
 
you buying it from a garage or private? i wouldnt buy from a dealer without at least a 3 month warranty. could die 2 days after u buy it. why do u need to get it NCT'ed twice in 6 months?
 
you can take a nct test 3 months early. So drive for 8 weeks and nct in march and you will have a 2yr 3month nct.
