awdguy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Im going to go look at 95 leg l wagon 5spd for $2250 has 167000 miles on it. Is that a good buy? I know that I need to look for obvious leaks and maintinance (timing belt, water pump etc...) what else should i look for? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 That is not a bad deal, I would go for it. I'm pretty sure its a 2.2 so you don't have to worry about head gaskets but the timing belt I would make sure was done. You see these go for anywhere from 1.5k to 4k depending on condition. So if this car has rust and dirty then I would offer maybe 2k. But if the body and motor are in good condition then I would be all over it for that price. The miles are not to high either which is also good. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'd make sure it has AWD. Sounds dumb, but they did offer a FWD version of this vehicle as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worknlikeadog Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 well im a cheap O so I would never pay that for a stock 1995. I bought a SUPER CLEAN 1996 sedan for only $1,000 and a kinda rusty 1995 wagon for only $350. But thats only me. Do you have any pics of this car?

worknlikeadog Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 not bad at all really low miles for that price but tell the guy you'll give him 2k cause the wheels are steels or something like that. haha I thinks its a great buy, perfect to do a sti swap haha go for it edit: I just saw its a sohc and not a dohc. I don't know how much a difference that makes but from my understanding the DOHC is the way to go in the world of ej22. I have two and they are both dohc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two and they are both dohc Just bought the car, It drives great and owner says he babied never ragged on/ Clutch been done a year ago, and looks like the timing belts been done also but will check to make sure. minimal leaks/seepage but no leaks from valve cover to my surprise. The shift link is either broken or loose but you can still get into gears just that the shifter just flops around. Other than the some rust on rear quarter panel and lower front door it drives awesome. Will post some pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagoulet Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Things I would check if I were you: not only did the timing belt get changed but did the idlers that it moves on get changed at the same time?? (had one sieze up due to age which then killed the belt) what shape is the exhaust system in?is the clutch original? (probably). I think the expectation on them is 200K.I bought my '95 in 2003 for $3000. It had 119,000 miles on it at the time and was in superb condition except for a leaking oil seal on the front of the motor. I now have 223,000 miles on it with few problems. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
