Dead Legacy with good parts near minneapolis.

[uniberp]

My niece smoked the Legato (1997 Legacy Auto wagon, 2.2 4EAT) up near Minneapolis.

Good KYB struts, decent tires, new wheel bearings, new front brakes, all timing stuff. Remote starter, aftermarket sunroof, pretty clean overall. I think she ran it out of oil.

Inquiries invited for any parts or whole thing.

Depending on how smoked it is, you may be able to put oil in it and drive it back home. The 2.2's are pretty tough. They are also dirt cheap to buy in junkyards and you can swap it in a weekend in your driveway with a rented engine lift and hand tools.

+1 on 2.2 motors being cheap. Last Fall, I bought a '95 2.2 motor from a yard for $400. It had 146K miles on the odo at the time. Put it in my 98 OBW, and it runs great.

Did it punch through the cooling crossover? I've seen them ventilate the top of the block and keep running fine on 3. As long as it's still holding coolant it should keep going.

 

Where's your sense of adventure?

 

You could also rent a tow dolly and pull the rear driveshaft to haul it back.
