Luchin Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 do you have any idea what you want? Been saying all along that I want a LGTW?!?!? If they made the STI Wagon with a turbo in North America I would get one. I'm confused with your confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeondacouch Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 i'm confused about what GENERATION you want. you've posted about '95, '05-'08, and now '11. are you just looking for any legacy wagon that has a turbo? if so, that will end my confusion.

Shit, sorry I did post 95, WTF was I thinking. Did they even make a turbo in 95. LOL. Sorry about the typo. I'm looking for a fourth gen legacy turbo wagon. The closer to 09 model year the better. However if I could find an earlier fourth gen with low miles I would jump on it. If Subaru came out with a new turbo wagon I would get it so I didn't have to worry about other peoples maintenance habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Only made em 05-07. 05 is the only year with a manual, which is hard to find. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Or you could get an OBXT. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeondacouch Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 did they not make GT wagons in 08-09? (also note, he's in Canada. I know they didn't release them in the US) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luchin Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 did they not make GT wagons in 08-09? (also note, he's in Canada. I know they didn't release them in the US) 2008 was the last year for the GT wagon, and you could order it with a five-speed manual or five-speed Sportshift automatic with paddle shifters. I'm not a fan of paddle shifters. I prefer the system they have in the 05-07 model. I was about to fly to Prince George for a 5sp LGTW with only 32xxx miles but they sold it within three days. Grrr. Hey guys thanks for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luchin Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Or you could get an OBXT. I thought about the OBXT. Saw one this morning. Nice vehicle but it's an SUV. Want something a little sportier. Not sure what the weight on the OB is but somehow I don't think it would be as peppy as the LGTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 If you find another gt wagon, JUMP ON IT. Those grow fewer and far between more and more, and of course you'd have to get it with the 3rd pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luchin Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Wow you were right JDMChizad the Outback XT is a nice car. Had a look at an 05 OBXTL today which has 60K miles on the clock. Black on black, the only drawback was that it was auto but this thing is MINT. The seats don't even look like they've been sat in. Is there ANYTHING I should be looking for? It's at the local Subaru dealership but that doesn't mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'm not sure of the differences between Canadian Subies and US Subies, but the best of them here (for modding) is the '05. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is much of a difference if any. Why do you say the 05 is better for modding? What's the difference between the LGTW and OBXT other then ride height?

Hops Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I don't think there is much of a difference if any. Why do you say the 05 is better for modding? 05 is the only year with the on board code reader (CELs WILL happen), and fewer emissions controls (same with 06). The 05 non limited is also the lightest LGT made. And the black housing headlights are bad ass. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZealandLegacyGTB Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Looks like they're not calling it a Legacy STi, but a Legacy 2.5 GT TS. Lots of STi bits but no extra bite. That said, I'd be happy to take it off their hands. Theyve been called this all along. Here is an STi Legacy I missed out on by $500. It sold for $15,000 USD. http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/af56/cognoscentiX/2-1.jpg http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/af56/cognoscentiX/1-1.jpg http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/af56/cognoscentiX/3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Wow... I wonder what kind of $$$ it would take to make legal here. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 For starters, emissions to make it Federal and/or State compliant (including all OBD-II standards), all glass and lighting would have to be DOT-compliant, and probably a bunch more that I'm clueless about. Beyond that, who knows the bureaucratic hoohah you'd have to go through - and the time (read: sunk costs) you'd have to expend to make it a legitimate import. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
