hinkelstein Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Through my searches for a Legacy GT I've found that most of them I come across are automatic. Does Subaru not make many manual trans Legacy's? Do people just not have enough demand for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted July 3, 2012 I Donated Share Posted July 3, 2012 95% of new cars sold in the U.S. are automatic-transmission. Subaru didn't want to miss out on that market. These cars in general are pretty rare, and at least on 2005s, they manufactured probably twice as many autos as manuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRoc7822 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 At a dealership its prolly alot harder...but if you look in the FS section here theres prolly at least 7 for sale right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I found a couple fairly close to me the first time I searched... I just searched the craigslist of every city I was willing to drive to to buy the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinkelstein Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Most of the dealer cars I've found are automatic, but I'm not finding too many private party (in my area) to star with. Searching major areas along the entire west coast (San Diego to Seattle) I've found maybe 5 or 6, half of which are manual. I need to stop searching though. I found one that I really like for a killer deal by a member on here, but I don't have the money yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swervo Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I had to search for a while here in Japan to find a manual as most were autos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegGTLT Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I hate to say it... but ALL of the MT LGT's made are already owned: by people on this site. It's a fact.

LegGTLT Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 This one is expensive but damn low miles.... just to tease of course. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/3118207763.html Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

hinkelstein Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Miles don't mean much to me as long as it's not super high. Anything around or below 120k is fine with me if it means I pay less and it has been treated well. This is the one I've been eyeing. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/3106828488.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottFW Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I just bought an 05 LGT 5MT this weekend. I searched for months on here, ebay, cars.com, autotrader for a SWP/tan 5MT that was within a close enough distance and in decent condition with acceptable miles. Found one about 6 weeks ago but it was a couple of states away and sold before I could get there, and another one on craigslist sold while I was out of town for a week on vacation. This one I just bought was taken as a trade by a local German car dealership and I was fairly prompt in checking it out. Use a craigslist utility like searchtempest, save your search parameters on autotrader, and check them every day or two. They're not ultra rare but you can't dawdle when you find a good candidate.

Danger Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I got extremely lucky. I was searching within 300 miles and only found 4 or 5 manuals. Somehow a Chevy dealer only 20 miles from my house had just picked this up on trade and I scooped it up. It looks like the previous owner took very good care of it, I am very satisfied.

BoozeRS05 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yep, bought my first LGT from a Nissan dealership 5 miles from my house, sat for a month there and I got it for a great deal. That was 5 years ago, and a great pickup. Got my LGT wagon I have now, 2 months ago from a member here. Paid a lot and I'm not as happy, but great car nonetheless. And there are only 86 RBP LGT 5mt limited wagons in all of North America.

dustdown Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 People who buy these cars drive them, love them, and trade them in for newer ones. I've been searching for a while now for an 08/09 to get rid of the body style I have (05). It is frustrating to be low on money, trying to sell a car, while all the cars I look at are up on a site like cars.com or on this site for about a month and are sold. Makes me frown.

ethanxk15 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I've been searching for 6 weeks myself and have been hard pressed to find one wit not a ton of miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charged Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I had been looking for a solid 2-3 months before I found mine because I absolutely wanted the 5spd. A used car dealer put it up online. I found it within a week, test drove it and immediately put a deposit down on it. It took me a few weeks to work out my finances before I could go pick it up and when I finally did I was told there was at least 10 people waiting in line if I didn't buy the car.

Ultrasounddude Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Bought mine here from a member 7 months ago. A 5spd wagon with 23,000 miles for 17,000. Sold within 20 min. and 5 guys inquiring at once. Only reason I got it is he put up a home phone that I quickly called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
