The Subaru heavy duty rubber front mats are worn. There are stains under the front mats that are not visible. I have the crossbars and all the spare tire/jack stuff is complete. I have extra miscellaneous parts and 10 or so new oil filters. I am sure I am forgetting some stuff. I have a lot of paperwork if You have a question or want different pics e-mail Me. No matter what I do the pics are upside down. I will re-take them as soon as I can. I do not have high speed internet so loading pics takes awhile. If You found an Outback/Legacy wagon in this good of cosmetic shape, You couldn't build it the way I have it for this price.

Yeah it's a fun ride. The suspension changes make it a joy on the winding mountain roads around here and with Outback gearing when the VF-52 kicks in it's a rocket.

bdcvg Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 Been accepted at Cars & Bids so if anybody was interested in this car now is the time to make a reasonable offer. I have to take this listing down when Cars and bids goes live in 3-4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumblyXT Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 You could also try OfferUp and Craigslist add, they have probably hundreds way more views than this site alone. GLWS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) A built ej255/57 runs north of $6k. But that does not make the car worth $6k more. You don't get your money back on modded cars except for very rare circumstances. Don't mod a car thinking you can get your money back, mod a car to enjoy it while you have it. You have to pay to play. You might want to research a bit. Cars in similar shape are selling for thousands less. Or you might get lucky and find an uniformed buyer. Either way, good luck I hope you get what you need out of it. Edited August 7, 2023 by m sprank 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdcvg Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 I totally get that, I figure 75% of the parts for the motor and blue book is the most I'll see. Last 4 modded outbacks at cars and bids went for 12-13k . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumblyXT Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 It takes one of us Subie fans to truly appreciate what gets installed on in these cars. Unfortunately when selling them, I've always seen we're more likely to get way more money for the car when it's unmodified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I have not seen the car in person. Appears to have the standard LGT "sticky dash". Is an east cost car so I expect rust, possibly into the inner fenders already. I know more about the cars than 99% of potential buyers. Not a fan of all the mod choices so I know would I have work to undo and correct (like always). I would be pulling the clutch and flywheel for a replacement the moment the car cooled off from the drive home. Will NEVER again own or drive a car with an ACT. I just sold my 2019 4Runner for a profit. Car is a few hours drive away, but I have no issue with the distance. I would however be looking at $4-$5k cash as a max offer.

Mortal2None Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Hopefully it finds a home here but looking like a good start on the EBay bids. ($6k and climbing) Saw it there first and figured this MUST be a LGT.com car. An 08 XT w/ 5sMT in a solid color is hard to find. GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdcvg Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 Surprizingly enough there is almost no rust on this car. I used the Australian " sticky dash fix" and that actually works for awhile then You need to wipe it down again, a sunshade also works wonders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumblyXT Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Honestly that undercarriage doesn't look bad at all for being in PA. My '05 OBXT was up North most of its life and looks awesome underneath, like it never saw snow, only the radiator support brackets are rusted. But I'm always suspicious of buying a car up North. I say you could probably get $8.5K-$9.5 for this car.. The interior looks great too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdcvg Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 Yeah funny story. I found the car in Toledo while living near Cincy. The car lived mostly around Columbus. I went to Busam Subaru for the airbag recall. I arrive to pick up the car and can see it's up in the air on a lift with 5-7 people under it. I get to the service desk thinking "oh crap they found something I didn't" . I ask " what's up with My car" . The service manager is at the desk and says" We have not seen an Outback that old with no rust" This part of PA where I live now didn't allow road salt until 2012 and only on major highways at that. Too much drainage into streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumblyXT Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Ah that might be the reason why it looks so good under. Cool story bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
