I have also looked after the dragons 97 Legacy since new, but are not up to your mileage. It's just coming up to 248ks, with a new belt due at 255ks. The problem I have at the moment is that she wants to get a new car, because this one is now old. My argument is why get a new one when this one still runs well. It just seems a shame to get rid of it. It's been a bloody good car, and it has never played up once the whole time we have had it. She says that I am just being sentimental and it's time for a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergamasco Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I have 335,000 kms. on my 98' Legacy GT Ltd, and she's pulling strong and not burning much oil. I bought her in 2001 with 57,000 kms. and now she has just shown her first rust spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brokentv Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Mine is pushing close to 170,000 miles. It still runs as smooth as when I got it at around 105,000. I do have an oil leak that I've been trying to find though pretty much since getting the car, nothing significant it just annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivant Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Mine is pushing close to 170,000 miles. It still runs as smooth as when I got it at around 105,000. I do have an oil leak that I've been trying to find though pretty much since getting the car, nothing significant it just annoying It will be around the front crank seal. it's a common leak with the 2.2 engine. It's no good just putting another seal in either. The oil pump needs to come off and the backing plate needs to have the screws at the back of it tightened. Only after you have done this will the leak be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickrocks1126 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I'm now at 116,8xxx. I've got a slow leak that one of the mechanics I used said same as above. Also, he said the oil filler neck might be leaking too. Very minor, I rarely have to put extra oil in between changes. Car runs still runs great!

I just undone the two bolts holding it on, and on inspection I found that the mating surface wasn't flat anymore. So I filed it a bit, then made a gasket, and after putting it back on, no more leak. It was only a slight seep anyway. It's an easy fix, so why not fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talespin Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I bought my '99 LGT 2.5i Limited 30th Anniversary sedan in 2003 with 104,000 miles on the clock. Traded him in 2010 with 185,000 miles because the synchros between 4th and 5th were going, and I'd decided I wanted an automatic. The guy at the dealership who appraised the car for trade-in couldn't believe it had that many miles on it. I still miss that car. It was perfect for me and I loved the styling. The various gold touches were very handsome, I thought - not overbearing and tacky like so many "gold trim packages" back in the day. He and I had been to about 35 of the 50 states, plus Mexico. Only car I've ever owned where I actually felt bad as I drove away from the dealer, seeing him sitting in the parking lot.

I followed up an old 83 night-rider Firebird that I used to have, but sold back in 99. The guy I sold it to still has it, and drives it on the weekends. I haven't been in contact for a few years now. I must catch up with him to see what's new with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
