What to look for in a 1st gen Legacy GT?

[Victor.Vector]

Hello all!

 

I'm new to the forum, and hoping to learn a bit about 1st generation Subaru Legacys. I currently own an '01 Outback L.L. Bean, and have begun to look into acquiring a second car. I'm looking for a car I can modify, and have some fun with. The 1st generation turbo Legacy is appealing. My questions are:

 

*What are common problems I should be on the look for when buying?

 

*Does anyone have a suggested price range? 

 

*Any maintenance that should be done as soon as I get the car? (Aside from basics - fluids, belts, etc.)

 

*Any fun modifications anyone can recommend? I have some light mechanical experience with my L.L. Bean, and I want to learn more. 

 

*Any and all information/links/files are all appreciated.

 

Thank you!
