Hey there, last night I not only bought my first Legacy Turbo, but my first Subaru all together. It's a automatic, 198,000km, every electronic switch in the car works and the air blows cold. Drives great with no noises. There is rust on the rear wheel wells, but nothing that can't be fixed. I paid a massive $400 for it from my friend and can't be happier with it. I really hope to enjoy my ownership experience.

Congratulations! Welcome to the BBS!

Welcome to the subie family

Wow that is a clean looking Legacy, $400 is a great deal! Enjoy the rust that every Legacy seems to get..

my seat has the same tear in it

Mine too, I think it is a genetic trait.

time to upgrade to some wrx or impreza seats.

Hey do you still have this???

So fun little story… I bought this car from my good buddy in 2010 shortly after he made this post.

In 2011 the transmission went on it and I sold it to another friend who used the drivetrain for another car. The next day I picked up the identical car but with a STI turbo, injectors and a bunch of other goodies.

In 2012 the tranny went on that one. I happened to be working at a Subaru speciality shop at the time and ended up doing a complete version 6 JDM STI swap in it.

In 2014 due to rust I pulled the drivetrain and sent the body to get squished. I have regretted it ever since

Fast forward to 2022 last week I picked this up and am super exited to get to pulling a bit more power out of it and bringing my old friend back from the dead

Once I figure out how to post pictures from my phone I’ll be adding them. Have a surplus of all 3 cars

Awesome! Can you give any inside on the jdm swap?
