Legacy STI?

[FST4RD]

Me and my partner are looking to buy a new wagon.

We have quite a bit of money to spend, but we are also being quite picky and want something special. We have looked at Evo 9 Station wagons, Audi's, Alfa Romeos etc.

Although I remember seeing a mid 2000's Legacy wagon a while back that had full black leather interior, 6 speed box and Brembo's... Was I remembering right or seeing things?

If I'm right does anyone know of one for sale in NZ?

What motor did they have? 2.0 or 2.5 turbo?

there is a BP one on TM atm .. looks the goods. 2008

Evo 9 wagon.

That is all.

The S401 only came in sedan and yes they were 6-speed, brembos and all but still twin turbo.

If you looking for an S402 then by all means go for it, and yes comes in station wagon as well, or there are legacies that been tuned by STI and they comes with 6-speed, brembos, leather seats blah blah

+1, but for a family wagon, you get more for your buck getting a legacy STi

[FST4RD]

Awesome thanks for the replies...

That Legacy does look the goods! The other half will like that one!

Although the one I seen was about 2003-5? Perhaps it wasn't STI, but it had leather and 6 speed box...

Did any of the legacys come with 6 speed boxs factory that were non STI?

I agree with the Evo 9 wagon, although the other half isn't sold on them 100%, plus they are extremely rare with only 2500 built world wide. The only one I seen for sale in NZ was modded to bits. I'm trying to find something as close to standard as I can find.

[FST4RD]

I would possibly consider a late model STI WRX... although they are quite a bit smaller then legacys...

was it the 3.0R by any chance? the manual ones came in 6-speed, and can get it in full leather

If your talking wagons then the WRX STI wagon ended in 2002 I believe.

If you find a stock one it will retain value very well imo.

So they were the non turbo ones?

Really just looking for something lateish model, turbo, manual, non modded and special. Prefer leather interior.

[B4 2000]

ya the 3.0R has the H6 engine non turbo

like this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/subaru/legacy/auction-403082156.htm

Your right although I think it's going to be hard to get one in NZ to be honest...

Right, probably not what I'm after then...

[soopersubaru]

Considered a build?? to the specs you require or seek?? could be your best option,then you get exactly what you want,Interior,gearbox,hi power engine,suspension etc

Just need a body and around $20 to $25 K Worked well for my old BF5 91 wagon

Re edited...............Funky!!!

Wow, this thread is going in circles like a drunk, one armed swimmer. Saw that Legacy on TM this morning, mint car. Go for it, I'm sure you wouldn't regret it.

[FST4RD]

Showed the better half and she quite liked it...

We don't get our money for about 4 weeks... so hopefully it's still there!

[clintondane]

Put down a deposit maybe?

[GorGasmSpecB]

Check out an Audi S4 v8 as well

[clintondane]

Those Audi S4 Avant wagons ar really realy nice too. Wouldn't get anything before '05 as they had the old, horrible front grille.

S4 has a great engine, beautifully made but are ass to drive.

Typical front heavy Audi.

I have been looking at 1... awesome cars. Just not to sure I could justify having a V8 though... Also been looking at a V6 turbo 380hp one... ;D

Looked at that one, and keep on going back to it... but it's to modified for my liking. There are a few non modified ones for 5k less. I want that colour though! And those mags suit it.

Mags, lowered, muffler are preferably the only mods I would prefer at a push... I don't want engine mods. I currently have a '95 TT manual SW and that's more then fast enough for NZ roads. It's completely standard apart from a boost gauge on the pillar, which if anyone has a standard pillar they want to swap they can have the boost gauge!

That's a B5 RS4, much, much better than any S4 !

Getting cheap to buy but watch out for maintenance costs, they can easily bankrupt you.

Here's a nice one;
