I'm looking for a car around $5000. It won't be a daily driver but I want something fairly reliable and the Premium sounds nice.. I am currently looking at a 2010 Legacy 2.5i Premium with about 150k miles. New head-gaskets, timing belt, new brakes and vented rotors. Overall the pictures seem to look good, well kept. I will be going tomorrow with the intent to buy either this car or one other I'm looking at. Anything I should look out for? It looks like he's already taken care of the big items. If I put 5k miles on it a year I will be shocked. My budget is pretty tight, as I just want to replace my weekend vehicle that was just totaled.. I have a company vehicle for most of my week's work, so this would just be for those milk and egg runs during the week or run to Best Buy on the weekend and my wife's Forester isn't around.
If the truth is that I shouldn't be looking at Legacy's and that I should instead try to find a replacement Corolla or something instead, I'll listen..
Any advice would be great! Thanks!
