[Wanting to buy a new subaru legacy]

If I were to go down the turbo line (as I do really want a manual for a few years whilst it's still a common thing), is there a specific year/model/trim I should be trying for?

Are the gen V legacy gt just as good?

There's one on trademe that doesn't look terrible, but I'm unsure of how they measure up against the gen IV. I do prefer the aesthetic of the gen IV but could be convinced to go V if there is any advantage?

Kinda joking because we're on a Subaru forum, but I like my Ranger more than my Legacy wagons for sure. Keep in mind I don't care about having a road going car that corners any more

 

 Not many 3.0 manuals around... you might have to stick to an auto... looks like 10k is the max you should be paying... but really depends on kms.

 

 

 

Yup no that's perfectly fair enough and I look forward to the day I'm in your position re the road going car criteria!

 

I think the manual gearbox is more important to me than the engine, that being said what kind of km should I be looking at for the gt wagon? And would you recommend holding out for a 6speed/spec b over a 5?

Thanks

Get a Ford Ranger.

 

And the 300,000 km Legacy might be really good or completely crap depending on how well it's been maintained.

Could be an extremely expensive car to keep on the road.

 

Lol do you mean a ford ranger seriously, or just as a joke haha.

True might give this current listing a pass. 

 

Regarding the 3.0 manual, what's a reasonable price to expect to pay for a 3.0 six speed manual with the mcintosh speaker system. Ideally with leather seats?

Cheers

Hey folks. 

I currently drive a 2.0i subaru legacy 2007 b sport sedan. I enjoy it but find myself constantly wanting for just a bit more power. I haven't owned a manual before but I can drive okay, would like to improve and hopefully will drive some of my mates cars before I get my own, but I'm sure it'll be okay. I also find myself wanting more space and feel that a wagon will be most suited to my needs. Due to the above I find myself wanting a manual legacy (could be convinced to go outback) wagon and tossing up between the 2.0Gt and the 3.0r

 

Price range is flexible as I don't need a car urgently and can save up but currently would have no problem getting a 2007 legacy 2.0gt manual with 160000kms. Realistically I work quite a busy job so don't think I have the time to dedicate to modding my car. Ive also read that the 3.0 is a solid engine.

 

What in you guyses opinions are the main differences between the gt and the 3.0, and what years/trim levels are really worth waiting/spending extra on Thank you

 

 

 

 

Additionally I saw this car just popped up? 

Ideaaaallly I'd like to keep whichever car I get for a good few years, I also hear that the 3.0 is solid in reliability, my main question is is it 300km+++ good, or is it worth waiting for a lower km one to pop uphttps://www.trademe.co.nz/2924945081
