2005 Subaru Legacy

Subaru Legacy (2005)
for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

This is a very nice car, paint shines beautifully, new Touren aluminum wheels match very well with their slight blue tint. this car is mechanically flawless with new brakes all around, right front cv shaft, NEW TIMING BELT and all new timing components, and NEW TURBO. this car will also come with a full set of Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires with only one season on them mounted on the original aluminum wheels. Tires on this car are in good shape, with more than 50% life remaining in the tread and showing no sign of uneven wear due to alignment or suspension issues and the car tracks straight down the road. interior is in excellent shape for the year (and for a Subaru) with minimal wear on driver's seat and of course typically the upper wrap on the Momo steering wheel has shrunk very slightly.
This car also has a JDM WRX EJ20 engine swap. it runs awesome and actually boosts better than a stock LGT. the original ej255 camshaft have been swapped in for higher lift, all new cam seals, valve cover gaskets, felpro head gaskets, ARP head studs. please don't fear issues with the swap. the car runs with stock emissions, stock exhaust, stock computer. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. it has never been tuned and it does not need to be. all parts are interchangeable with US ej255 and ej205, so you will never be stuck unable to find parts. The JDM ej20 is actually a better built engine with reinforced cylinder walls, forged pistons, and I think personally it performs better. if you want to tune and boost this is a great car for you. currently boosting at stock level and never overboosted, but I wouldn't be shy about boosting up to 20psi.. if you are an enthusiast that just wants to hop in and drive a nice car, this is a great car for you as well. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car to California. If you just want a nice car that needs minimal maintenance, that can be neglected and driven thousands of miles past its due oil change, look for a Honda, this car is not for you.
This car has been very reliable and very fun to drive, but due to its nature as not only a turbocharged performance oriented vehicle, but also being a Subaru, spot on maintenance is important
This LGT, aside from the engine swap is completely stock. stock exhaust, stock turbo (which is new)., has not been tuned and does not need to be, and runs stock emissions systems. no check engine lights, no warning lights on, and will pass any state inspection. This a great car for someone who wants to tune and build it, or for someone who just wants to get into nice car and drive as is. all parts are interchangeable with the usdm ej255 and usdm ej205 so future repairs won't be an issue.
Also, please don't think I'm some kid experimenting with Subaru's in back yard. I own and operate a very busy and successful auto repair shop, so I'm an experienced mechanic (we like to be called technicians now, lol) in my middle ages, experimenting with Subaru's in my fully equipped shop. (not really, this isn't my first jdm swap I've had to deal with.) This is one of my personal cars nd I hate sell it, but bills are mounting up, and my wife is pissed I haven't been working on her jdm impreza rally car.
This is not a new car, It does have some very minor scratches/scuffs on bumper cover.
Please feel free to ask questions and I'd also love some feedback from all you turbaru lovers out there.
