'06 SE 345,678 miles

[STX 195]

Hit this yesterday: 345,678 miles.

 

Full disclosure: blew the original motor at 181k miles when timing belt broke ( early - scary ); bought a short block from Subaru, re-did the heads, while everything was out put in a new clutch to replace the original and finally went for a new radiator for good measure.

232k miles - bought a used transmission ( with 56k on it ) as the original tranny was howling like the Hounds of the Baskervilles.

Still digging this car.

This is great. I am the type of person that like there cars and does not get tired of it. When you customize it, nothing is like it.

I read that book in 7th grade and that is great vehicle life! I am almost at 200K miles on my 08 LGT. The engine in my 08 2.5i let got at 191K miles so this is the oldest Legacy ive owned. I noticed the trans in myu 2.5i was way noisy starting around 130K miles

in my LGT I run Motul Gear 300 very quiet

Thanks.

Outside of that sudden engine expiration, this car has enjoyed a relatively uneventful life... almost. May 2018 we had a tornado come thru southern Dutchess County - many, many trees down, one tree glanced off my house, and ended up on the wagon. Thankfully, most of the weight of the tree was on the ground, I had to cut my way out from underneath it. Then I drove down to Tarrytown to get my wife off the train, as Metro North wasn't running any further north than Croton Harmon due to storm damage on the tracks... as for the wagon, a couple little dents and a scratch or two on the roof, but no broken glass, nothing to get too worked up about.
