Quick Info:
1997 Subaru Legacy Outback - $900
Item Description:
238,000 miles
2.5 boxer motor
5 speed trans
awd
a/c
cruise
power windows
power locks
power mirrors
heated seats
heated mirrors
cd player
roof rack
fog lights
tow hitch
newer tires
super fresh oil change and mobil 1 trans fluid change
Ok heres the deal. This lil jewel is loaded with options. The heated seats and mirrors are awesome this time of year along with the awd which works superb! Car has 238k miles but the motor is tip top! Doesn't so much as use a drop of oil or smoke. Very good condition. Runs great too. Got some really good torque. Car rides very smooth and steers and brakes great. Just a well equipped roomy useful vehicle. Gets about 27mpg avg.
The issues:
Lets start small. The car has some bondo on the passenger front bottom corner of the door and the passenger rear fender well. Doesn't look bad though, just needs finished sanded and primed over. The dash illumination doesn't work cause the cd player wasn't wired properly. The cd player also doesn't keep memory which lets me know a novice installed it. Easy fix there with 12v remote being wired up right and the dimmer switch wire thats obviously cut during the novice wiring job. With the dimmer wire not completeing the circuit then none of the dash lights will work. The fog lights have been busted by flying rock ect over the years. Easy replacement there.
Besides that everything works like a champ. All lights, electronics, gauges, ect. Now for the bigger problem. I think the trans has developed an issue. It still runs and drives but i'm having trouble getting it from gear to gear. The clutch has great pedal and engages very nice, always has so i really don't see it being the culprit but who knows. When you get the car about 2k rpms you start hearing a very rough almost bad throw out bearing type noise but worse then a throw out bearing. I'm totally guessing its the trans but who knows. I know the rear diff is good, ect. The shift linkage bushings need replaced badly cause the originals have litterally rotted away. Theres like 2 inches of play which made it difficult to shift when i got the car but was able to shift none the less. Now can't really get it to shift from gear to gear very easily while running. Otherwise you can still drive it.
Summary: A well equipped safe awd car thats ready to do some work or haul some babies or play in the snow. Needs very lil other then the trans/clutch/linkage/whatevers wrong problem.
Lookin to sell so i can get something else or trade for something else. Also willing to trade this and my 86 trans am for another running vehicle.
On with the pics. Just keep in mind that i've never cleaned this car at all. Its pretty nice condition. A good cleaning inside and out and it'd be pimp.
