97GT5SPD Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Just bought this other day for 2k and its basically perfect. All i had to do was put the fluids in it. Clutch is a bit on the soft side but still really strong. I cant wait to start putting money in it. I didnt subarus were this much fun!! AWD FTW!!

monkeyposeur Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I love the silver GTs! And 2k is cheap for such a clean car! How did you get such a great deal? How many miles? Get over to the second gen forum! Start with some suspension upgrades and go from there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97GT5SPD Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I love it! the guy wanted 2700 but he worked with me about it. i think altogether it will come to like 2300. its got 180k on it but it runs smooth. i live in ohio so im guessing the guy had it in the garage in the winter cause there is virtually zero rust other than a couple rock scratches from driving. Its so awesome to find a place where i can learn about these cars with other owners, thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 This is the coolest Legacy forum, IMHO. There are lots of nice people here ready to help each other out in a friendly manner, imagine that! Have the HGs been replaced yet? They usually go after 160-170k or so. Keep an eye on them if not. How about the timing belt? Since your 2.5 is DOHC you don't want a timing belt failure. You would think such a clean GT would have been maintained properly. No rust is good! They salt the roads out here like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97GT5SPD Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well the belt treads look almost new and what do you mean HGs? lol and yeah they salt the roads pretty bad here too but winter wasnt too bad. Think the previous owner probably kept it inside during winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
