What should I do
I have a 91 legacy Turbo 5sp I love the car but it has 267 000 km, is it worth putting any money into or should i leave it stock and drive it untill it is dead and not waste my money

If you are mechanically handy, pull the engine, have the heads rebuilt, new rings, new clutch and you have a "new" car for less than $600. Spend a little more and you have a real nice ride.

^ ignore him.
Do as douglas says and rebuild the engine. They're pretty easy to work on if you can grasp how engines operate. Doing all that will pretty much give you a reliable ride to have. Make sure to keep up on oil changes, brakes, and lubes, etc, and be nice to your clutch, and you may very well have yourself another 267k km on it.
These cars were built for the long road ahead. Originally.

DON'T run it into the ground. You fuck up that block and you lose out on the one thing worth money on you car. And also, some of the forum members here may come to your house and give you a wet willie.
