If it were near here, I'd jump on it.

This legacy really sold me on Subaru's. I also have a Forrester with 215K.

I figure if the engine goes on the Legacy, I'll drop a new one in and keep going. I really love the body style and it's cheaper than buying a new vehicle.

He must've done all the gaskets and whatnot before you bought it. What maintenance stuff have you gone through? Just regular stuff over the +150k that you've put on it?

Just the kind of stuff you'd expect. Clutch, timing belt, ball joints, brakes, etc.. No major engine work which is surprising because it spends a lot of time getting rattled on dirt roads.

Wow! Still original engine and tranny?

Yep. I bought it 4 years ago in excellent shape from the original owner at 160K. He was asking $2,700 and I (foolishly, perhaps) told him he had it priced too low. He insisted he'd researched values and that was a fair price so I jumped right on it. He gave me all his maintenance records and all he'd done was routine stuff.
