  1. Hello, all - Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Laurie, and I am an automotive idiot. So I just joined this forum in the hope that some of you fine folks might possibly be willing to share your opinions and advice with me. I desperately need to find a new used car, and I've been looking at Subarus because of their reputation for long-term reliability. (I've been driving my friend's '98 Impreza; 278K and she's still running like a rock star). The problem is that I'm on disability with a horrifically limited income. While I would love to get a plain old outback or impreza, I have not found one with decent mileage (as opposed to astronomical) that I can afford. Then...this car came along. It's an '05 Legacy GT 2.5 Turbo Wagon. The mileage is quite good (135K) and the price is right for me (under 5K). The head gaskets, timing belt and turbo have all been replaced and the service records available. The turbo concerns me, though, because I've heard that they can be a frequent source of repair/failure. In my situation...it's gonna take me 20 years to pay off the loan for this car; if *anything* major goes wrong with it in the first couple of years, it would be financially catastrophic for me. So...I'm worried about whether or not this will, in fact, be a wise choice for me. The turbo's overkill; I don't need a fast, powerful car. I just need a wagon! (I supplement disability by hiking other people's dogs; I often have over 400 lbs. of collective dog riding with me for the day). Would anyone be willing to help me out in my decision making process about this model - yea, nay, buy it asap...or run for the hills? Any info would be hugely appreciated - thank you, folks!
  2. I'm looking for a used car, that I can mod and I found this. What do you guys think about moding this car? And what's your overall opinion of it?
