Well as some may or may not know I had purchased a 96 L wagon in 2007 It had 158k on it and drove like a dream. While out on my way to a Starved Rock yearly meet the worst happened. I spun a bearing the car had approx 192k. At that point in time I had 2 choices either get a new engine or let the car go and get a new one. Well I decided to go ahead and start looking for a car. After a long and exhausting search for a newer 05+ Legacy wagon(i like wagons) in 5spd I gave up because it was impossible to find. It was easier to find a Spec B sedan then it was to find a manual wagon. So I got aggravated and decided well maybe I can just find one period. So thankfully I found on in a 5spd auto. I wasn't 100% happy but it was the car I wanted regardless of what type of transmission it had. Test drove it and took it home the next day. So now I am a proud owner of a 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Limited with only 78k.

Here are some pics:

Good find! I bet that's quite a power increase going from an L to a turbo GT

05+wagons are hard to find to begin with so I can't blame you...

Nicest wagon ever sold in the US.

We were looking for an '05 5spd Wagon last year but came across our '06 sedan and couldn't pass it up.

Nice choice! :smt023
