  1. I JUST bought a 1998 Legacy GT Wagon (auto) this morning!! :D

     

    154,731 miles...

     

    Already had the headgaskets, waterpump, and timing bely replaced once... Getting the transfer clutches, ball joints, and air/oil separator plate (on the back of the block) replaced tomorrow :)... Hopefully I can get atleast another 200,000 outta this thing :)

     

    Almost a year later and the Leggy is still here...

     

    Now at 172,270 miles and counting...

     

    What's been done since the post above?

    - Headgaskets (AGAIN!!) and complete reseal... Done right this time with the Subaru Multi-Layer metal HG.

    - Timing belt (idler pulley, water pump, etc)

    - 2 sets of fog lights (they just burn out quick I guess, they or they were a cheap brand :-/... Bought PIAA Yellows this time so they better not burn out for a while!)

    - Right inner tie rod

    - Right Front brake caliper (started to seize a few days ago - replaced TODAY)

     

    And now at 172k miles, it is still daily driven almost every day. It gets anywhere from 21 to 30.8mpg. Doesn't burn ANY oil and constantly makes the 12 hour trip from Enterprise, AL to Raleigh, NC (~600+ miles). I actually like driving it around MORE than I like driving the STi!...

     

    If I could change it in anyway, I'd put a 5MT in it... Getting kinda sick of the 4EAT and it's (at times) violent 1 - 2 shift :-/... Other than that, it is an outstandingly reliable little car and I love it!
