Thanks These newbies go figure :

Wow thanks for this info seriously as I do intend keeping the car for five years.

Cool thanks for the info, will see what happens at this point upgrading just for a later vehicle 5star crash rating , isofix mounting points for booster seats and when no ones around I can drive abit enthusiastically being a manual. Also what needs to be changed at 100K service?

Hi Thanks for the heads up on 100K service is this because of Cambelt? I was comparing to my current Airtrek Turbo which seems to be more linear in with the turbo, boost comes on earlier around 2k rpm and stays till about 5K rpm. Its a standard car too. oh well may just need to get used to that, its has SI drive which seems like something just waiting to go wrong could be affecting power delivery although I drove it in Sport Sharp. cheers

Hi I am in the market for a legacy GT 5Speed manual. Can any one give some advice, I may purchase the one below if my current trade is good. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/subaru/legacy/auction-613663756.htm I test drove this car but it seems to have more turbo lag than usual, my current car is a 02 Airtrek Turbo. It will only start to pull from 3K onwards. Do you think it will just need services etc? Thanks.

Hi I have been long time lurker on this site, anyway its time for me to upgrade my car and I am strongly looking at a 2007 Legacy Gt manual 87K on the clock. Is anyone here running one , whats the performance like compared to a WRX of similar year and fuel consumption etc. Is there anything in specific I should be looking out for mechanically when purchases? Thanks.

Thanks all for the advice i am trolling hrough TM and AT to find one in my price range.

Cool man, i got max $3.5k cash to spend. So i guess wrx 96/97 will be perfect. I have made two offers so far both declined the offer so will wait and see what happens. Touch wood i get something by dec!

Thanx for the advice, sorry meant to say clutch.

Great thnx for the advice, you got a good buy, the cheapest i can find at the mo is roughly 4K with same milage.

Hi All I amconsidering purhasing a the car mentioned above, it has 233km on the clock looks in decent condition for the age and is all orginal. What should i be aware off at this age milage, the cambelt been done and the gearbox seems okay no signsoff sliping. If the motor does pack up, wht will be the cost of replaci or repairing roughly fo rthose who have done this rom pastexerience? Thanks, ally

Hi Thanks for the advice. Cheers.

Hi All I am considering buying a Subaru GTB 2001, this will be mainly driven by my wife as she will be going on maternity leave shortly and ticks all the boxes for me at the mo, practical, fast, and most of all affordable for me at this stage. I will eventually take this over as my toy in the near future. This car has done 165000km and has a service history for 150000km of its life from winger. What should i be looking at in terms of faults and general wear and tear that happens at this time for the vehicle? At what point should the cambelt be replaced etc? Any advice would be great. I want to get this vehicle independently inspected, any recommendations? Thanks.
