^thanks, and yes with the mods done and how clean it was it seemed like a perfectly reasonable price compared to other local legacies i was looking at. this is my first auto car too, never thought i would have gotten one, and since its pretty quick as a dd i dont even care! def have to get a 5sp up in that though, miss that complete control :p

I thought 1993 was the 25th anniversary, not 1992.
?
nice all the same, but i think 1993 would be a 25th.

Bheinen74 I was thinking the same my Legacy is a 93 and it is a 25th. So not sure about the 92... either way looking good, im digging the black and gold!

That's odd... It says on the window 25th anniversary with the sticker and its a 92 so I have no idea. And thanks for all the feedback, it'll be looking so clean soon!

Supposedly the 93 I bought is a 25th anniversary. Maybe it wasn't a model year but a calendar year?

I have an idea on the 25th ann stuff. My guess is sold in late '92 as new '93 model but the car was still built in '92. A similar thing would be going to the dealer in say, November, and getting a 2013 car. I'm pretty sure thats what it is.
Going off the tail lights, it says '93 to me, along with the 25th ann. sticker. Does it have an airbag? I'm like 99% sure all '93 up models came with an airbag.

if the title list 92, then no anniversary
if title says 93 then yes anniv

regardless of the window which could have been reolaced or not
\\93 is anniv\\\nothing else.

Hmmm well ill double check on the airbag thing. The calendar year part makes sense!
