ilikefunkymusic Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 What do you guys think? I found mine last year with 56k on it for significantly less than what this baby is going for. Figured I would just toss this out here: https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/2008-subaru-legacy-gt-spec/6309845971.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesA Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The asking price is absurd. Just because he has kept some car as a museum piece does not automatically remove depreciation. That's about what I paid for my new GT wagon 11 or 12 years ago. I hope whoever is looking at this will just buy a regular Legacy GT and apply their savings towards suspension and power mods. They will still come out way ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanspif Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 They must have some goooooooood grass is CO if that dude thinks a 10year old car is gonna get $23,000. After the fun I've had with Mrs Spif's 55k 2005, I'd just keep on looking and not even entertain the idea of throwing out an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougeben83 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Actually, I would advise NOT to get such an old, low mileage car. Driving only short distances will not allow enough time for the engine to warm up and can lead to things like premature oil buildup and motor oil deterioration. I *hope* in his quest to make this car low mileage, he also changed the oil much more frequently, or at least on a time-based scheduled vs. a milage-based one.

MilesA Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Actually, I would advise NOT to get such an old, low mileage car...I think that's what spacemanspif was calling "fun" since he got a low mileage car with some age on it, he had some issues with it, as well as deferred maintenance that he had to do.

Just saying, just because it has low miles, doesn't mean it was only driven for short trips. My Spec is getting used less, but it's Saturday night drive is at least 10 miles highway, one way. But you have the right idea about short drives in these cars. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

sunny5280 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Dang! That's right up the road from me. I might have to go check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCallMeNick Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Regardless of the asking price, I think we can all appreciate the rarity of this find. It's wonderful to see such a clean late model Spec B. The low mileage is at least neat even if it was city driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shralp Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Wow that's a bit too steep on the price. The car is due for a timing belt even with low miles since maintenance spec is mileage or years and it's at 10 years come January. Probably want to use a bottle of simple green at the car wash on your engine bay if you're try to get top dollar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
