Thanks all. Going to shop around and see if any local sellers have an AP. Looks to be about $900 CAD around here

Is the stock tune for an 08 LGT set for 93 octane? Locally we get both 91 and 93 and no issues with spending a bit more for the 93 but would rather avoid it if its not going to affect the engine at all. I used to run 91 in my stock 03 Civic until I learned better.

 

Also, any reason to run a tune on a completely stock car? Will I see any noticeable difference in power or fuel consumption?

08 LGT 5EAT with a little over 151,000 km (I'll let you convert to metric if you care). Only had the car for a few months but outside of pain chips on the hood, door dings from parking lots the and two odd pencil sized holes on the leather by door handles its in great condition. No rust as of yet (surprising as it came from Alberta, land of the rising snow). Really enjoying the car so far.

Hey all. Is there a resource that tells the stock 08 LGT stereo specs? Thanks in advance.

Filled it with gas today. Also did my first oil inspection since buying the car. After driving 1000 km I am happy to say that it burned no oil. Very happy about this as I was not light with my right food the past 1000 km.

I'm currently looking at buying a used GT it has 96,000 miles and has had the control arm upgrade and some service done on it recently, New TIMING BELT (Gates brand, the OEM Subaru Timing Belt manufacturer)

• New OEM Subaru Spark Plugs ( NGK Laser Iridium)

• New OEM Subaru Timing Belt Idler (Cogged)

My question is what else am I missing? It looks well cared for and not beat on. price is 8500. any help is appreciated.

 

For an 05 that is a big price. Unless there are a bunch of bolt-ons (which comes with its own potential issues) there is no no reason they should be asking that price considering what other Legacy’s are out there (me being assumptive as most local Craigslists I’ve looked at have a bunch of them). I have an 08 local for $7500 USD. with similar things done. Unless you are desperate, keep looking and something will show up.

The leak or the grommet?

Thanks all. It appears to be that grommet on the driver side of the dash wasn't properly put back. Seems to be fixed now but will check next heavy rain

No record of a new windshield. I felt for where there was moisture and it seemed to be coming from the plastic directly above the dead pedal. Will check for wierd smells when I get back to the car.

08 LGT and first time it's seen rain since I bought it. Went out this morning and felt a few drips on my left leg. Drove to work thinking maybe some just got in when I opened the door but when I checked the mat it was fairly wet. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem and might have a solution? I was planning on just running a hose on the front of the car and following where the water comes in.

 

new to the club but happy to be here.
