Goliat Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Looking at purchasing a 2008 legacy with under 100,000 miles. What issues have you guys run into with legacy's? I hear it's a pretty reliable car, but of course those big corporate reviews are going to be a bit skewed. I just want to know what I'm getting into before purchasing. Thanks
Dispatch20 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 The 2.5i is a pretty solid motor and the 4-speed auto is ancient but very reliable, too. The common issues are wheel bearings, exhaust heat shields rattling, and sometimes head gaskets fail around 150k miles. If you live in cold/snowy areas, then you need to watch out for rust in a few common spots. Nothing catastrophic seems to happen very often with these cars.
