Would you buy?
I am new to turbo legacy's but not to subarus. I am looking at a 92 turbo sedan with almost 200k on the clock. It is a bit rusty in areas but looks to be in pretty good shape. The seller wants 1800$ which felt high to me but is open to offers. So...would you buy this? If so, for how much? My honest plans are to use it as a daily driver until I feel like swapping one of my imprezas. It seams that running ej22t's go for around $600 so it might be worth it just for the motor and time I use it for DD. Thanks!

Welcome to the BBS.
With that kind of miles that's way too much, $500 - $700 would probably be a more reasonable offer. What area of the country do you live in?

500-700? You know he's talking about the whole car right?
I'd say it depends on what you mean by "rusty in areas," do you have any pics of it?

Re: Would you buy?
Maybe I'm spoiled here in California, but I wouldn't pay for a car with any rust on a non-bolt-on part.
Maybe if it was solid mechanically and I was going to do a re-shell?

Well, a beater Legacy would be a lot of fun too, but 1800 is a bit high if there's excessive rust. If there's just surface rust here and there then it's no biggie.

Any rust means hell no imo. Give him $800. I can get a rust free one round here for $1200.

Re: Would you buy?
Well he disapeared on me for a while but texted me today about selling the car in a month or so. He wants 1k for it now. The rust is worse than I thought on the rocker panels. I am more used to the rear quarter rust where it is also rusted bad. To be honest the body is probably too far gone so I'm wondering if I should pull the drivetrain and part out the rest of the car. I think I can recoup a good amount of the purchase price going this route...your thoughts?
