Looking to Buy - 2004 Legacy GT Wagon Manual

[wild_south]

Hi all,

I am looking at purchasing a 2004 Legacy GT Wagon - it\'s Manual, Black, 18" rims, 149,000kms, and cambelt replaced at 110,000kms.

I\'m more of a WRX man in the past, so you Legacy boys, what would be a reasonable buy for this (I know, not a lot of info but your best estimate)?

What do I need to look out for? Any issues that occur with this amount of kms? Fuel consumption?

Any info greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Reasonable price I would think would be between 9.5-10.5 depending on extras and condition. I know that the turbos don\'t like being pushed much further than stock so look out for ones with boost controllers etc.

Apart from that just the normal stuff, clutch and gearbox, check diffs and service history etc. Ive just brought an 03 GTB (had to settle for a tiptronic) and my average fuel consumption according to the computer is 8.7km/l but on the motorway it will sit around 12-14km/l

From what i\'ve read on sl-i and the likes, the turbo\'s oil banjo filter seems to get very easily blocked and starves the turbo in these models so service history, mainly oil changes done regularily is a key thing to look for.

Don\'t wanna be forking out for a replacement turbo 6 months down the track.

Getting a thorough checkover from a suby specialist is always the safest bet if its local.
