UnBeGleavable Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The ad was posted here in the forums and it seems like a good deal but I'm a bit hesitant. Its a plane flight and if its a waste of money I'm out $200+. Any suggestions would be great. here is the ad. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fs-ca-nor-cal-2005-silver-legacy-gt-limited-5sp-184665.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famaya26 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Carfax, records of maintenance and if all looks good, go for it. I saw my LGT on Craigslist. Had a bad wheel bearing and minor dings on the body. Seller was asking 7900. I got him to lower it to $6500. You can lower the price, just negotiate dude. GL!

scoobyscoodle Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 See if you can get the seller to cover your airfare. I did that with my car. That way the seller has a vested interest in being completely honest and upfront with you, or he's out the airfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnBeGleavable Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thats a good idea. I like that. He's being a bit hesitant about taking it to a subaru dealer so we'll see. :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneDoubleN Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thats a good idea. I like that. He's being a bit hesitant about taking it to a subaru dealer so we'll see. :l That's a bad sign IMO......what reason would he have to be hesitant to have Subaru look at it if you pay for it?

LosAngelesLGT Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Simple solutions by LALGT Talk to a local from LGT.com to look at the car for you. Paypal them $20 for lunch. Take a road trip with a cute girlfriend. Bone girlfriend all over SF. Have cute girlfriend drive your rental back to LA while you drive "new" car. There is no need for a car to have a good time in SF. Fly up on a Friday morning, go to the warf, go find market street, get lost in a bar, find girl. Wake up hungover Sunday to buy car and stumble home. Check out the local cars. There is an automatic LGT black on CL asking price under $9k. Probably can be had for 7k. Also a black OBXT on sale here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have cute girlfriend drive your rental back to LA while you drive "new" car. This is what I did except it was cute ex-girlfriend....who I had to rent a motel room with because the drive there and back (I flew to Sac from LA, then drove since humboldt is in the middle of nowhere). Needless to say, current girlfriend wasn't too thrilled . Sans boning of course..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttnio Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 In case you decide to buy her, take Interstate 1 for a grand tour of the great northern Pacific Coast Highway from San Fran back to San Diego. You will have a blast going back. Sell or refund the other half of your plane ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnBeGleavable Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ya just had a wrench/present thrown in my lap. I was looking at a LGT with a bad motor and the guy said he'd take 2500 for it and I was speaking to my lead tech at my shop and he was like I can swap short blocks for $500 so now I'm trying to decide what to do. Opinions? Also can I use an EJ257 with LGT heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneDoubleN Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If everything else checks out (no other damage) then i'd say go for it. Can't answer your question about the heads but i'm sure someone here knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
