Time to sell my Legacy:
Subaru Legacy Turbo estate (4WD) 2.0 Litre J-Reg. Charcoal (Black).

0-60 time of 6.9s as standard should be better with mods. Closed deck engine apparently (Quite resilient).

I bought it around 2 years ago with 94,000 miles on the clock with a Full Subaru Service History.

Head Gasket went due to radiator being full of rubbish. Radiator was replaced and Head Gasket with uprated Impreza STI version.

Clutch went...replaced with Impreza STI clutch and flywheel (standard one).

Tyres were useless replaced with Goodyear Eagle F1''s on 16" Standard MY 2000 Impreza alloys (silver).

It has a sunroof but no aircon and all the window except the back one have tints.

Koni shock absorbers (Adjustable in terms of firming up NOT height nothing flash) and standard springs (NOT replaced).

PIAA headlamp and foglights (Yellow apparently better for fog) bulbs.

Blitz Boost gauge

Lambda Link.

Full stainless steel Mongoose (Decat) Exhaust.

Uprated Panel filter (Green filter).

New MAF fitted 2-3 months ago.

New Lambda (Oxygen) Sensor fitted a few weeks ago and new front and rear pads.

Iridium HKS spark plugs. Apparently better for a car running at higher boost.

Superchip - Ups the boost to a max. of 1.2 bar.

Handsfree phone kit - Professionally fitted by Carphone warehouse. Voice activated dailing for Motorola V50 (I''ll throw that in as well).

Geometry set up for handling by TSL Motorsport, Nottingham.

New wipers and arm (front and back) when I bought the car.

Clifford 600 Blackjax (Anti Hijack) Cat 1 alarm

Trackstar Protector Tracking device.

Recent Heavy duty battery.

LONG TAX AND MOT.

The car is totally undersealed professionally by Chez at Inkar Valeters of Rochdale.

The car is always allowed to warm up before drven hard and warmed down after any drive (long or short). It has never been abused or tracked.

Always used Subaru parts or better. Oil change done more often than every 3000 miles (Ask ''Robinsons'' Subaru of Rochdale how often I''m in there!). I use Millers fully synthetic 10W60. Even more often oil changes when I was on my Motor vehicle mechanic course NVQ last year!!!

Fuel always Optimax before that I used Super unleaded but I believe Optimax is better will Millers Octane Booster (Sometimes using two bottles).

I have had numerous parts changed and put right on this car. I was really enthusiastic about this car but my job situation has changed. The Insurance is stupid and I am getting sick of every joey under the sun thinking that they can have it without paying for it (I live in one of those nasty innercity areas in Manchester hence stupid insurance, no drive, no garage). Following me in my car can get on my nerves and constantly being asked if I want to sell my car for £2.50 and a bag of chips! I need to save up for a house as I rent and am getting sick of it!

The last work I had done on it was at Prosport in Stockport by Peter. The majority of the work done on the car has been done by Ken at RE Performance in Bury and Chy at Penine Subaru in Hebdon Bridge who advised me to put the car for sale at £2500 (A bit steep I know). He knows the car pretty well.

So I will have to settle for something a bit more normal!!! My dads Citreon AX banger (See I am SO TRAUMATISED I can't even spell it properly).

I am offering it at £1900 but that is negotiable. I have receipts to prove the majority of the work. The car has never failed an MOT and apart from the initial head gasket problem it has been fine.

I can e-mail pics as well.

 

Put some pics up mate... It'll defo help to sell the car, whats the current mileage now??

Sounds like alot of car for the money...

Cheers,
Grant

 

Sorry to hear you have to part with it mate.

Could you send me some pics? I may be in the market for an upgrade.

magepaster@blueyonder.co.uk

 

Mileage is high mate 128,000...I think? I told you!!! I'll have a look tommorow and let you know for sure.

 

Thanks for the offer Grant..to help me sell it.

 

I'd hardly call this car an upgrade unless you drive a Lada of course!!!

 

I also have a big tax bill coming in January so selling this car would help!!!

 

I'll send some pics in a bit

 

Aaquil,

I have a 1.8GL Legacy so this indeed would be an upgrade

 

Grant I need your e-mail address as I cannot put them up on here...well I don't know how to!!!

 

Also, magepaster i'm gonna sent the pics to you asap.

Did I mention the Clifford alarm is total closure (The front windows anyway) and it has Intellistart - You can start the car from the key alarm forb. You can also use it as a kind of turbo timer but you have to arm it from the key forb once you are done.

 

Magepaster,

Did you get the e-mails with the pics?

 

Yep, Looking at them now mate

 

What do ya reckon then? Where are u based...I am in Manchester. You are welcome to have a look. If you like cool...if you don't like cool. Just let me know whenever. If you don't like the look of it in the pics cool.

 

Anyone else?

 

send me the pics to j4mou@w3z.co.uk ile post them for you mate

 

Thanks a lot mate...I'll e-mail them as soon as possible.

 

I have e-mailed you the pics mate. If there are too many (Highly likely) then please put up the good important ones that give a good overview of the car (I hope I'm not being cheeky).

I really appreciste your help.

 

Hmm.

Sounds like a lot of car for the momey, as has been suggested.

If you can't get the pics hosted for any reason then I'll happily do it - addy in the profile.

Would you be interested in my fairly low mileage but very dull Legacy 2.2 GX estate? I've just acquired it as a runaround - single owner from new, full history (though I don'a have all the paperwork), automatic in metallic red with aircon. Completely standard except for a set of WRX alloys (standard wheels included).

Cheers,

S(imon)B

 

There is a lot of car for the money but the car is old and old cars mean not a lot of money...judging from the last time I put it up for sale I knew I was going to have to reduce the asking price. What reg. is your Leggy? Can you give a bit more info. I might be interested then again I might not be. I need a very cheap run around like I stated before tax to pay and later on house to eventually acquire.

 

I do appreciate the offer about the pics but the other guy has kindly offered I have e-mailed the pics to him and am just waiting for a response.

Thank you very much.

 

Hi,

OK, mine is a '91/H in ruby mica. It's got about 70,000 on the clock and is a genuine single owner car from new. Serviced by my local dealer until they closed and recently taken in by them as a part-ex. I took it as payment for some work I had done for them...

It has original wheels plus a set of 16" JDM Impreza alloys that need new tyres. Interior is grey and very clean. Original stereo, no security fitted. The central locking is currently playing up but I am fixing that by replacing the actuators. I think there is probably a chafed wire that I will find as I go round...

It has front foglights and aircon, air suspension (which works and I have a spare compressor just in case) and 4 speed auto (which also works).

It has had a bang to the front and the aircon and water rads are both slightly bent but work perfectly and do not leak at all. I have a spare radiator just in case.

It has a towbar fitted with single electrics.

It also has loads of spares. There is some noise coming from the drive shafts when pulling away under lock, but I have spares to replace them when the time comes. I can also supply workshop manuals (proper Subaru ones) that cover everything. That's all 7 books...

Feel free to mail me offlist if you want to know more.

Cheers,

SB

 

Mate...thanks for the offer but I really just want to sell the car get the money and put it towards my impending tax bill in January. I know I can get my dads Citreon AX off him on loan (Hence not spend any money).

 

anyone else interested?
