Thanks for the replies.

Yep its a 5sp manual - just really curious as to how long before the turbo gives up the ghost.

Its still on its factory turbo, everything else is stock apart from a catalytic converter removal and exhaust upgrade.

Just don't know if I should take a chance and purchase it.

Would you think that replacing the turbo first thing after purchase would be the best way to go about it?

Thanks mate, this car is a New Zealand new model - the owner bought it brand new and did a lot of highway driving to rack up all those kms.

Would you think this one has a VF38 turbo instead? Not quite sure what to make of it, i.e. how long the car would go before the turbo decides to give up - that is with a relaxed driving style.

Funds are really tight so I can't afford to buy a lower km car.

Looking at buying this car below - 2003 legacy gt - 344,000 kms.

Drove it the other day, owner had it since brand new - engine seemed to run well.

The only thing I am concerned about is the turbo failing. Is 344,000kms too much on the clock to be considering this car and would I be looking at a turbo replacement soon?

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
