blakejs Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Hi all. Newbie here. I'm looking to buy a Subaru and figured this would be a great place for information. I am currently looking at a 2005 Legacy GT with about 65K. Test drove it today and my initial impressions were mixed. It was very fast once the turbo spun up but on takeoff from a dead stop it seemed extremely lethargic. It also pulled to the left (I'm thinking that's just an alignment problem). What should I be expecting out of this vehicle? Any common problems associated with this model / year? Anything in particular I should be on the watch for. Any and all information would be appreciated. Thank you, Blake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDead Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Welcome to the forums man. 65K shouldn't pose many problems yet, but I am no Guru!! Are all the service records on hand for viewing? Were there any previous mods done to the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakejs Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 I'm going back to the dealer to ask for records and will have it inspected if I decide to buy. It looks pretty clean but that says nothing on the internals. It looks bone stock. This would be my first turbo so I don't know if the maintenance schedule is different from a normally aspirated engine. Thanks for the reply!
