Bought my first subaru a few weeks ago. Its a 1994 Subaru Legacy SS Turbo Automatic. Aegean Blue Metallic. Mechanically the car is in great shape. Paint is a bit faded. 130,000 miles. Interior is in great shape. It has one small dent. The guy was asking 2 grand for the car, but i offered them 1600 and he took it. DId i do alright?

holy tits i paid 2200 for my abm t-wagn.
thats a deal

the deal is whether you feel you got what you paid for.
I paid $400 for my 94 L about a month ago.
of course it's not a turbo, but tome it's a good deal. It's AWD, A/T PW Sunroof, 135k with a decent body to boot.

If the body is fairly clean $1600 is not a bad deal.

Subaru + Snow = Awesomeness

wow, i hope you are right. Right now im driving a front wheel drive Chevy SS, and it sucks in the snow. When i get home this weekend im gonna bring my subie back up to school. It has a decent set of tires on it all the way around now, so i dont think im gonna worry about buying a new set of snow tires for it. How does a subaru compare to a fullsized 4-wheel drive truck in the snow

as economists say..."it depends" ha ha ha

1. it doesn't weigh as much so thats both a good and a bad thing
2. all time awd kicks ass, so thats good
3. you have more control b/c of awd in the snow
and i cant afford new tires right now but i think i'll be ok b/c of the awd and new brakes

subarus were made for the snow, and they're a great all year long car and they last forever so i think you'll be fine.

good deal. hopefully by ABM SS will motor right thru the snow. dumb question, but how do you put vehicles under your profile so that they show up every time you post?

courtjesterclown · Post by **courtjesterclown** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 7:10 am

I think i may have figured it out.

depends on the tires and driver.
2 years ago I had an 06 yukon for the snow, it was great.
this year I have the subie, it's good but not as much as the yukon was.
BUT, the subie can dart in and out of traffic easily and fit in small spaces, the Yukon can't. the subie gets 15 mpg, the yukon got 11. tires for the yukon are $110+ ea. the subies are $50 ea. The yukon cost $50 a day (rental paid for by lake geneva) the subie cost $400.

if money / space wasn't an issue, I'd rather have the yukon for the winter than the subie, but money is a huge issue so I'll be happy with my subie as it drifts in slush when I push it too hard.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

An oxymoron? No, its a chevy super sport. which happens to be front wheel drive. its boosted, but via a supercharger.
