eK-HaRaMi Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Finally a local LGT in 5eat popped up. But pricing is very high as dealers dont know what new ones go for. I have driven this vehicle seems to drive fine, only a couple of things are making me wonder about this car..... First thing is that the hood does not close soft like my old WRX, I could latch the hood lock and press down and it would close...this car would not do that, I actually have to drop the hood so it will close....But then again I tried it on another LGT and it did the same, seems like the intercooler rubber under the hood needs to be sealed tight with a little force?? Second this vehicle has Magnaflow exhuast not full TBE, just the axelback. But it does sound purrrrrrrrrrty!!... Also the STI badge on the rear trunk does not sooth my mind either, but I told the dealer I would offer, he said ok!! Am I just being paranoid, or these little things I should worry about Link http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&searchType=21&paId=224966876&pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNumResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=descending&sortfield=PRICE+descending&certifiedOnly=false&recnum=0&leadExists=true&criteria=K-%7CE-%7CM-_45_%7CB-30000%7CD-_410_%7CN-N%7CR-100%7CI-1%7CP-PRICE+descending%7CQ-descending%7CZ-94134&aff=national Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreoSTi Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I actually have to drop the hood so it will close.... That's how I've always closed a Subaru aluminum hood... So I wouldn't worry about that. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuxtaGT Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 They are asking just under blue book for a car in exellent condition. The car has been modified from stock, that pretty much knocks it down from excellect condition right out of the blocks. The 22k mark is starting to sound better, especailly with only 20k miles on it, but I'd be curious to know if anything else has been changed. If you can find other non-stock parts, price goes down. BTW, my hood does the same thing, even without the engine cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eK-HaRaMi Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 The aftermarkets parts installed on the car (Just the magnaflow ansd sti badge) are the only things stopping me from jumping on the deal..I don't know if the car had a reflash, or additonal parts and put back to stock...
