Rand Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi all, I currently have a 2001 Subaru Impreza L Coupe converted to a RS on the outside, and a race car in the inside. I am looking for a second car as a daily driver that is reliable and comfortable to ride in. I found a 2000 Legacy GT Limited with black leather and 125,000 miles for $6,000 with two previous owners. (automatic trans) However, the carfax says around 30,000 miles the Camshaft position sensor was replaced and around 13,000 the Oxygen sensor was replaced. Should I be worried about all of these sensors and what are some items I should look/listen for during the test drive? The car is four hours away from where I live so I need to be prepared. I was going to offer them $5k and maybe meet in the middle at 5.5k if the car ends up being as good as it looks. (Even tho I really care more about rust and reliability the most) Thanks all!

Turkeylord Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I've got 115k on mine, and so far I've had to replace: Head gaskets (common problem - $$$ - had a shop do this one, took the opportunity to also replace the timing belt & water pump) A/C Expansion Valve (moderate cost / ease) Knock sensor (cheap and easy) Front O2 Sensor (moderate cost / ease) The head gaskets were rough on the checkbook, the rest not so bad...
