or this:
The difference between the two is 3 years, 80,000 kilometers, some aero kit, and quite a lot of horsepower. Oh, and location; The 2003 black Legacy 2.0GT is just down the road while the 2.0i is up in Tokyo.
Unfortunately, I need to be a responsible adult, and I’m buying the 2006 2.0i Legacy with 42,000 kilometers. My head knows that I don’t need the turbo at all since the speed limit only gets up to 80kph, and the 2.0i will still drive through the corners quite nicely. I really do like the way that hood scoop looks though.
The 2006 has one bad point on the body here:
Otherwise the body and interior are in great condition compared to most of the cars I looked at that were in the same price range.
I’m trading a small ding for 40,000km off the odometer and a nice interior.
The worst part is that it will take it until the end of April/beginning of May to get here.

Not a bad car at all for what 6,000 USD?

Of Course you need the Turbo!!
Who drives the speed limit in Japan anyways?
That 80/kph sign is just a suggestion, plus it’s usually turned off in the summer :)
There both good cars so don’t listen to me.......turbo!

The ‘01-’06 Imprezas and this gen of Legacy wagon are my favorite Subie designs bar none....their current cars, bar the WRX and the new Impreza are all just.....meh to me.

It’s called having a family, unfortunately. I keep seeing the black one in my head, and then figure that if I just don’t like the 2.0i at all then I can probably sell it down here for about what I paid for it, and buy a 2.0GT from Osaka/Tokyo for cheaper anyway.

The wagon is just a little bit too long for my wife to approve of. She wouldn’t let me get one with the small roads/parking lots here.

$6,000 is about right. And when I looked at it, I thought the same. It’s in great shape, and has nice wheels.

Is the wagon really that much longer than the sedan? :S

In her mind, yes, but she wanted us to get something smaller than a Honda Fit.

That’s less than I’d expect to pay for a clean Legacy here.
