1st gen legacy GT

[Guest]

so i just got the car back from sublab and in there own words said "seems as if your head gaskets are blown" now how much is the car worth if i sell it? and is 2k+ to fix it correct?

[DRFVDR]

with a Blown HG maybe $800

and yeap $2K Plus for a proper job

[Guest the_return_of_the_jedi]

where in the country are you? i got quoted $1400 in chch and $2200 in auckland

[Guest]

800 ah crap. even with the mods and stuff in it? and im in west auckland

[Shale]

They are worth a LOT more without mods.

[Guest]

depends what mods they are.

Tasteful mods that leave the vehicle in pretty much standard condition would prob add value.

[Shale]

Standard or improved for performance and reliability, yeah.

[Guest]

it is pretty much in standerd condition except for mags subs amp bov boost controller tints boost gauge momo steering wheel lowerd with kings and has a bore exhaust

this is a possibility

[Shale]

On that note... go into Strong and say Amy sent you, you want an EJ20G. They will do you a deal.

Been there many a time, but everytime i get is sussed and it goes mint...It makes it so much worthwhile, all cars have thier issues, subies just seem to have a bad rep! (maybe justified )

[DPI]

There's nothing wrong with SUBARU's.

It's just that too many people think, Hey, Subaru's go pretty hard, i'd like one, and then, instead of spending a decent amount on a well looked after model, they buy a cheapie off someone whos thrashed the arse off it for years and wonder why it breaks...

The only Subaru i had trouble with (and it wasn't much) was my $5000 GT legacy wagon, all the others cost well over $15,000 and were tidy, looked after models...

[dubbedup]

All my subies have been mint or only good for parts, and the only issues i have really had is rear shockies on early legacies, and gearboxes self destructing, but thats prolly cos of my driving style...

Anyways that was a bit off topic..

^ It's all true.

My $200 Legacy wagon... died of cancer, blown box, blown engine.

My $500 Legacy shell evolved into a $3000 money pit, and STILL has a strange leak and 47593847589374 noises.

My $350 half-parted Legacy just vomited its entire sump through the turbo.

My $10,500 Impreza has NEVER, EVER missed a beat after 120,000km of my abuse and is down only because I want to change the cambelt. ;D

[Old Skool Subbie]

Ive never blown a motor or gearbox... ( I did make the auto start to slip in SVX tho lol... But it still drived fine )

Only things ive replaced is water pumps and tires and CV boots and rubber water hoses that start to leak.

And replaced/rebuilt x2 brake master cylinders...

They are all things you get with all cars

The reason your Impreza hasn't broken something is because it doesn't have 290nm+ of twist being dumped into the drive train.

[Guest]

It certainly doesn't, no. But isn't it a different drivetrain?

It does have a lot of g-forces for a pissy N/A dumped on it though, thanks to hard suspension and a propensity to stick.

Where have you noticed this propensity to stick???
