scoobsnacks Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I looked for a couple of months, found one 3 hours away. Bought a one-way plane ticket, flew out, bought the car and drove home... It was a risk though, I had to be ready to walk away (fly back) if there was something wrong with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyartRob Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I went on CL one day and saw the car listed. Went to the guy and bought it. Now I regret doing that because I should have researched before buying the car. what exactly does this mean??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkaszynski Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 And now I have one that fell into my lap. Was just about settled on an 06 and an 08 with the same miles showed up 200 miles closer. I finish up the paperwork tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkaszynski Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 I swear all time has stopped. I have to wait until after work to head out to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careercadaver Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I went about three months and ended up buying a project LGT that is in be of a shortblock. For me it was better to know exactly where it was at in regards to service and care. Saw a lot of under maintained vehicles...GL w/ your search. Be patient and you'll see the right one.

TrueWhiteBoy Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Oddly enough not long at all, I think about a week from when I decided to check it out to driving one. Waited a week to make an offer, unfortunately they had just sold it earlier that day when I finally did. Took a week from that to find another one for sale. Probably 3 weeks total from when I decided it was the car I wanted to when I purchased one. I did however spend about 3 months trying to find an automatic WRX before I finally took a co-worker's advice and checked out a LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they make AT WRX's but holy crap I've never seen one hahaha. Wonder how it drives... not that I'm expecting something serious.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flygtfly Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 It took me 6 months. When you know what you want its gonna take some time unless you're lucky but I haven't won the lottery yet. I have a unique 06 rebuilt Legacy on craigslist in Ventura, CA. Cant miss it if you look. The shipping would probably be around $1,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flygtfly Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It took me 6 months. It seems to be getting harder as the cars get older. There is no new GT so used is the only way to go if want one. Make sure to remove the oil filter in the feed line to the turbo because it can kill the turbo. Subaru issued a service/tech bulletin #02-106-08R that you can Google. Subaru says to replace it but you don't need it so just take it out. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiebeast22 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I looked for a year. I drove 8 hours each way to look at it and put down a deposit. Then later that week take 2 flights to get out there pay the po and drive home 8 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
