jpapanas Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I'm from out of state - has anyone around Holliston, MA checked out this 2005 Legacy GT Wagon http://home.comcast.net/~jpapanas/Subaru/2005LegacyGTWagon.pdf Mileage is high but it's priced accordingly - wondering if it's worth pursuing... I've been looking for a SWP 5MT wagon for a while - if the cosmetics are good then i might go for it - but it's hard to tell with these low res pictures.

shutterbc Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Well, the Carfax service history looks good (yes, I know it's not totally reliable). I see why you're interested; on the Internet this thing looks good. I'm not immediately near Holliston but I might be able to justify going there this week since I have some customers southwest of Boston that I may have to visit. IF I'm able to see it (not sure yet), I'll take some hi-res photos for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil2k2 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Jim, I grew up in the next town over, the dealer is right around the corner from my folks house. I'll be in the area over the weekend, but probably not while the dealership is open. I don't have a hi-res camera, but I can take a couple pictures anyways. This dealership usually has a hand full of used subies on their lot. If you're interested in purchasing it I can put you in touch with the family mechanic (also right around the corner), he's always blessed my family's used car purchases. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpapanas Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Thanks Andy, This site is great - people are willing to help out so readily! What i'm looking for is confirmation that the car looks as good in person as it does in those pictures on Autotrader. Is the paint original, are there any dents or scratches that don't show in those low-res pictures, is the interior as clean as mentioned, etc...?

Fossil2k2 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 oooh no! what a bummer. If another one pops up in the Boston area let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbc Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Whoops. I was just going to check that out today. Sorry -- I'm sure another will pop up, it's just a matter of when! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leg Man Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Sorry about that one. I called and placed a deposit as soon as I saw it listed on Saturday. I am buying it sight unseen so hopefully I am not buying a lemon. Hopefully another one will pop up soon for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbc Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Dang, was I in the twilight zone when I bought mine after it was on the market for over a week? Then again I did pay a couple thousand more given it had 31K miles... despite a little less cash in my pocket I'm happy with the purchase. By the way, did you see this one? http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fs-05-legacy-gt-manual-131297p2.html?highlight=wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn you Leg Man! Well, let us know how it turns out... I have a feeling it's going to be a nice one. Are you shipping it or driving it back to CA? ... By the way, did you see this one? http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fs-05-legacy-gt-manual-131297p2.html?highlight=wagon Yes, but I'm really only looking for a SWP/Taupe color combination because of Houston's climate... Thanks again Shutterbc and Andy for offering to help though! Regards, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbc Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ah, I see the logic. Yes, the black leather would kill a little. You just had to pick a challenge though, given the production numbers: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/official-my2005-production-numbers-model-83304.html 61......SWP.....2005 Legacy GT wagon MT Ltd (tan) So, one of 61, quite rare!

Fossil2k2 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I drove by the dealer and took a quick peak at the car yesterday. Big "SOLD" tag hanging from the rear view mirror. The car is very clean, I didn't see any nicks, scratches, or dents at all. The paint still has good shine to it also. The interior looked good from what I could see through the dark tint. good luck Leg Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leg Man Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Thanks for the report fossil. Any input helps me feel better about buying a car on the other side of the country. Supposedly it is getting dropped off at the shipping company today and should be pulling into LA about 2 weeks later. I will let you guys know how it turns out. Now I need to look into selling my sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leg Man Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I am one of those uncool people that loves the idea of going fast while returning from home depot. Is there some sort of wagon support group I can join? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
