LegacyCamper Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The Mrs wanted to test a smaller car first, which turned out to be rubbish. By the time i got back to the low priced top spec H6 Outback, it was gone. I guess I can also consider legacies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesA Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Legacy is a nicer driver unless you really need the extra ground clearance the Outback has. Pick of the litter for you in the UK is probably the Legacy 3.0R Spec B model with 6-speed manual transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyJagaru Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I would think owning a six cylinder Outback in the UK would be an expensive ownership proposition between the not-so-good fuel economy and road tax based on carbon emissions. There are so many different brands of cars on the road in the UK as compared to USA & Canada, but Subaru are definitely in a small minority there so servicing would be one of my concerns.

MilesA Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Oh, sorry about that, LegacyCamper. I just guessed UK from the way you wrote. Why not put your location in your profile, that way I won't embarrass myself again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyCamper Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 I thought I had, sorry, yeah NZ. Andy Macs been a big help. Andy Mac il make u jump jump ;-p. Well I have legacy 06 spec B options. She is telling me it has bilstein shocks, but had to replace the rare springs, are the shocks different to the springs, i mean can you use different springs with bilstein? It was sagging. I had my 2.5 96 do the same, but it was dumped (lowered) so you really noticed it. Also the dealers have a lot of legacy sedans, B4s. Are the B4 sedan good? Very nervous buying an imported car, how do i know it wasnt damaged prior etc. Can i ask to see the import sheet? Generally at a dealer a B4 sedan at 110000km 04ish is about $7000nzd. An outback similar KMs is about $9k. The Legacy Wagon B Spec private sale of an ex import im looking at is $7200 at 170000km. Trying to weigh up value, so hard to find NZ new with our crappy sales system called Trademe, unlike Ebay which I had in Aussie, the search engine is Shizer.
