Recently totaled my car. getting 11k Looking for an LGT 2005-2007 Preferably auto , but I'd think about a manual too Not planning to do much more than maybe intake, exhaust, tune Just need it for a peppy 4door Daily driver, awd > fwd lol other than the 100,000 timing belt change, what sort of problems should I look out for?

Drift Motion Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 at that price range you'd be hard pressed to find a 07 most likely 05, lucky if you get 06 rest...well do your search... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famaya26 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Unless if you live in Texas. I found my 05 for $6500 and one locally recently sold for $7500 I think. We were over the 100,000 mark though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Only real difference from the 05-06 to the 07 that I remember reading (I have been looking for a while for a second car) was that the 07 has folding rest seats and the 05-06 doesn't.n I just like that BL body style with those head/tail lights and grille Thanks guys. Just started looking, mostly 05's at any price is what im finding. A few fairly local around 10-12k A clean looking white 05 130k mi. For $9k ...500 miles a way Also, my laptop got killed in the wreck so im doing all this on my phone. So sorry for Spelling and stuff.

Drift Motion Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'd be on the hunt for a 07 LGT SpecB but that's like almost double the price... around 20k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneJay Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Also, when you're looking at one, check the oil. Sometimes that can be a telling sign regarding how well the car has been maintained. If it's low or black, walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators BarManBean Posted December 21, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2012 Buy my wagon. 05 5EAT with 70xxx miles. Well maintained with records, stage 2 with cobb downpipe and sti up pipe, transmission cooler / thermostat, custom e-tune from Cryo. I'm only half serious about selling it and you'd have to fly to VA and drive back or have it shipped, but if I had a buyer I would consider selling it off to go on the hunt for a 5MT wagon.

RooTBeeR Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 i keep seeing 4 speed auto on a lot of places, which confused me a bit when y'all said 5eat(i figured 5 meant 5 gears) ah got it as fun as a stick would be still, i still looking for an auto...but the more i look, the more im thinking about just getting a manual again haha "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I think the 5EAT is a great AT tranny, not the same as MT, but pretty good 4 speed only came on the 2.5i Hurry up and get one and you can come out to the once in a while SoCal gatherings...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 i plan on going to test drive one in Puente Hills Subie dealer has this weekend, make sure I'm happy with it...but i still gotta wait to get my settlement check before i can buy anything...saw a Craigs list in Riverside for one, might look into that too. and hoping to get my ss back tomorrow and see whats salvageable, start tearing into it is there a decent gain from just a tune on 91? whats the "max" safe power and boost on a stock block? how much hp/tq can the 5EAT handle?

Drift Motion Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 the ABP 05 sedan? IIRC, it was marked at 14k... IIRC, there is a white 07 LGT in Riverside... just get a downpipe and a infamous road tune, then decide where do you want to go from there...
