    Looking to pull the trigger on a 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited

    in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )

    Posted

    Hello Subaru Legacy Folks- My wife and I own a 2015 Subaru Outback Premium and we just sadly sold our 2002 Subaru Outback Limited with 154,000 miles due to head gasket issues and AC not working as well as other quirks of the model. I have found its replacement in a 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited with the EYESIGHT/NAVI/HK package..

     

    The 2013 Subaru is a 1 owner dealer serviced car owned by an older gentleman who is a traveling salesman. The car has 109,000 miles on it and it has had the 30K, 60K,and 80K services performed as well as usual maintenance.The gentleman purchased a 6 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty at the time of purchase and had the dealership address any issue during his ownership.

     

    The car is clean for the age and mileage and has no rust or dour dings or dents. It has been involved in 2 minor fender benders and the car has been professionally repaired using OEM parts each time.There are a couple of scratches and the usual front bumper rock chips. The car does not need tires or brakes for another 30,000 miles. I would only need to replace the drive belt and idler pulley and belt tensioner at this time. It could stand a complete detailing too, but I am just OCD about the appearance of my cars.

     

    I am looking to get 6 years and 70,000 miles out of this car with proper maintenance and care. The owner is asking $8,445 and I offered $7,500. The owner countered at $8,000 and we have agreed on $7,800. Our max budget with taxes and tags,etc... is $8750.

     

    Is this a fair price considering age and mileage and condition? And would this be the best example of a Subaru to get to replace our 2002 Outback (we have a 7 and 3 year old and not not plan on a third kiddo) as we have a 2015 Outback and a 2006 Toyota Camry as a spare/fuel efficient full size car.

     

    Thank you for looking,

    Andrew

     

    I have an intake available for you if interested. Will help with the gas mileage, provide a nice sound when accelerating and some eye candy to the engine bay. PM me if you have any questions.

    Hey LegitLegacy, those are the exact wheels I was looking at (yesterday) from Fitment Industries for my black LGT... how do you like them? They look great on your car!

     

    I imagine it will push me to want the Brembo upgrade too...:)

    Thanks man. I love them. Just know they are blanks and bolt pattern is drilled after you order. So expect some touch up paint around the bolt holes. Great quality wheels with aggressive concave.

     

    I got them last Friday and decided to paint the calipers before I put them on over the weekend.

    Just put on some wheels and painted calipers..

     

     

    Still have Legacy 3.6R intake and front lip for sale if anyone wants them. Need them gone. PM if interested.

    Two months in to ownership! It’s really starting to come together!! Thinking abt a black gloss vinyl roof wrap, vinyl wrapping the chrome on the side windows, tinted windows—maybe a 35%...new emblem overlays (gloss black with SWP stars)! Any suggestions?

    Did you black out the front side reflectors on the lights? Any other pics from the the front? Looks interesting...

    For most of those, I worry about reliability/cost of repairs. Volvo seems to generally have worse-than-average reliability, from what I read. Audi and BMW are infamous for expensive repairs, JUST out of warranty. Still, they do have a compelling product.

     

    The "Options Zoo" for BMW really made it hard to make sense of

    1) what options I'd want. There's Sport, so I think I want that, then there's M-Sport, but it's different in different years, and ALSO different between AWD and RWD, but then in AWD, if you also get package X and Z, but not Y, you get the better suspension and the LSD, but only in this one year. But don't get package Q, because it's not as good as advertised, etc.. My wife hates the orange-tan color of the "premium" leather and I agree - it looks 70s-vinyl cheap.

     

    2) the general comments about "AWD models don't get the good

    suspension, in fact, base AWD suspension is worse than stock RWD" for the 535ix, IIRC.

     

    3) which options are actually on which car when looking at cars.com, autotrader, carmax, cargurus, etc. It seems impossible to trust the actual list of packages or search for it. Is there some kind of comprehensive VIN decoder for BMWs that lists every option on a car when built/ordered, not just general details? They all seem to list "Sport", but it's never clear if that's actually sport, m-sport, or just "BMWs are sporty". Might be easier just to get a used M3 - a lot less options, in general, it seems.

     

    4) Somewhat surprised there's no aftermarket "flex fuel" option for the 3.0 turbo engines (or maybe I just missed it). I know the Burger tunes offer some fixed percentage, but I can't even see myself getting out the E85 tester at the pump, much less my wife.. Who are the biggest tuners for BMW aftermarket? I know of Burger (or is it Berger?) and Dinan (not far from me, but expensive, and I hear, not very good anymore?). There's an E85 station around the corner, so I'd love to try it out with a boosted car. Keep using it for my wife's '15 Town and Country FFV just to show them there's demand :lol:

     

    I know that a Q50 3.0t may also not be 100% bulletproof, but offhand, it would seem repairs would be cheaper in general. Level10 does a "bulletproof 7EAT" for the older cars - I would imagine they would be able to do something with the newer ones.

     

    I think, overall, the '16 CTS V-sport I looked at with 8k miles for ~$43k probably would have fit most of the criteria, but the family didn't like it to sit in. And the wife kept hinting that she didn't like the idea of a Cadillac, since we're not old yet (her mom drives an '00 Caddy) :lol:

     

    Maybe I need to look at AMG CPO + extended warranty..

     

    If you are in the NY area a good friend of mine is the sales manager @ MB. He could hook you up. Before he got to MB he was at Infiniti/Nissan; we have done 26 cars together between myself/friends/family. PM me if interested.

    Thanks for the info. Curious if a Q50 on coils + good tires outruns a 3.6 Legacy? I heard the AWD is nearly as good as Subaru..

     

    What direction would you go in?

    It probably does but for me having the car for 30k miles; rather spend the money on another brand to start with. AWD is good, maybe as good as subaru. My 328xi handled better than the Q50 all day, just didn't have the power. Personally I'm kinda over Infiniti. Had a lot of them. Still have one now and I can't wait till she goes. Lol. This is a personal opinion. I would probably be looking for used S4s, 535xi, 335xi, s60 rline, GTI. Drive em all. See what sticks.

    Q50 is a solid choice from a "sexy semi-luxury" standpoint. As a former Nissan owner though, I'm leery of its reliability. Genuinely don't think I'd say no to one though LOL

     

    Hmm. Guess I always thought of the G35/G37 as pretty reliable.. Seriously looked into a G37x a couple of years ago..

     

     

    I had a 2014 Q50s with the 3.7 V6 before my Legacy. Faster than the legacy and overall good performer, but that's pretty much it. The Q50s is a good car, but does nothing great... maybe breaking if I had to pick something, but yea that's it. With coils and good tires the Legacy 3.6 will out pace a stock Q50s all day on some windy back roads. Im sure the new one is faster with the 400hp, but nothing else was really done to improve the car. For the money I would rather go a different direction...
