Finally picked up my new baby - 1991 Legacy 1.8GL AWD

Post by Golden Oldie »

Well, it's certainly a bit different to a MY00 Impreza Sport 2.0 16V AWD but it drives well and is still a youngster at just 118,881 miles :D

Service history is patchy but that is to be expected of a car which cost just £250 8) All the electrics work, including the radio which was a pleasant bonus!

That's approximately $450, IIRC. And that is an excellent $450 car!!

Congrats!

We need pictures of the engine bay, many of us have never seen a 1.8 liter legacy.

Thanks for your comments :)

The engine bay (along with the rest of the car :shock: ) needs a thorough cleaning but I'll be taking some before and after pictures to post up in the members gallery :D

Nice buy! Where on earth did you get such a good car for such a low price? :shock:

I quite like the sedan/saloon shape. What are your plans? Alloy wheels?

I bought the same model on a 1990 plate a few weeks back for £450

It`s a lovely motor with full service history, full MOT and 6 months TAX, 112,382 miles, everything working and an interior that looks as if it`s never been sat in. It even has an unused original spare wheel and complete toolkit in the boot.

No pics yet but will have some soon.

£250 is a cracking buy for such a clean looking car

Closer inspection is finding out why it was soo cheap :oops:

Yours sounds like an even better steal...looking forward to some pictures :lol:



Seeing how there are three of us from blighty on this post, is there any chance of organising some kind of meet in the future?
