Hi,

I am thinking of buying a Legacy estate, I have found a '98 2.0GLS with full main dealer service history, but it has 107k on the clock. How long can I expect the engine to last before I start getting problems?

Cheers

Sorry, have I made a faux pas by posting about a Subaru that is not an Impreza ?

My Uncle has one and has just had to replace his engine at 194k!! And he drives it like a nutter. Should be ok for a good few miles.

When I bought my Impreza Sport, on enquiring about the boxer engine's reliability, I was told that "we've had Legacys with a quarter of a million on the clock".

Sounds good to me.

Oh, I should mention that if you put such a random title on the subject line a lot of people won't even bother to read it.

Try it with "How does a Legacy's reliabilty compare to an Impreza" or such. Then Legacy owners on here will respond.

Or "Legacy Vs Impreza" - the versus bit usually gets a lot of interest

96.uk single turbo estate 127k on clock . Good history. Going to get front cam seal done soon. Engine feels great. Likes new oil about every 4k miles.
Goes like stonk !!!

My dad did 150k miles in a 2.2 GX and loved it - I test drove the 2.0 last year and decided I just couldnt live with something so slow...
Up to you really, but I would go towards the lower mileage, bigger engine car - more fun to drive and all the extras (unlike the 2.0 gls) - just try and get a bit more money off.

Thanks for the replies, I am still looking and have found another Legacy estate.

So what do you think is the best deal
