Tylerhartman’s 96 Legacy outback
If i remember right i got it june 8th 2011 like 3days after summer break started w00t!
Hi, I’d like to start this off and say I’m new here so…. Hello!
The history of my car, Well back when I was 16 I started the hunt on searching for a car… After countless Google searches I knew I wanted a Subaru very soon I’m moving to the country and needed a car to handle snow ( Like in the middle of no where) no really but isn’t city and road aren’t maintained very well let’s say that.. After looking at car lots, and Craigslist I found one for 1500$ And setup a time to look at it.. So I went to look at it I kind of didn’t do all the looking I should have oh-well my issue… It was advertised it had a Salvage title, Weak rear passage window, COLD A/C, 118,00miles, for 1500 way less the most of the outback’s and legacy around here in Cincinnati. So I go to look guy shows it to me under a tree on a not very sunny day so I didn’t know what I was getting into. It ran fine. Seemed to shift good and a/c seemed all well on the test drive Guy lived in country. So road where not a great ride, I knew when I got there it have the Title big deal.. When I first walked up to it so many bad/not good signs alerted didn’t listen to my gut darn it! It had the wrong grill (old legacy) Wrong mirror, Too rear rust spot in the normal spots not fixed “right” The Keyless box was tossed in the back.. On other notes crappie self window tint, missing rear passage speaker grill, broken arm rest clip. The list goes on.. So I talked with the guy and he said he wouldn’t go down on the price.. I give him a 100Depost and The next day we go to pick it up.. Oh dear! Meet him at the bank give him his 1400bucks hands me the keys and title and I was set
on the way home, I knew the tires needed balanced.. okay what ever on the way me and my dad are like let’s turn on the air didn’t work.. went to Autozone and got A/C refill.. didn’t help to much apron opening the hood (and I did open it before I got it) The Radiator support is all bent up didn’t look like no hit it like I was told.. and we go to refill it and find stop leak (green stuff) in the a/c fill jack..
So we took it to the local tire discounters to get it balanced.. and asked the nice guy when they went to do so if they’d check the car for any issues along the way.. no more then i swear 5mins I’m out in the shop .. they find it has a Stuck Brake caliper front passenger side.. errr also I forgot once we got on smoother roads it has a Transmission bump.. between 1st- and 2nd. Once it was back home the body started looking even worst.. when we where a the tire store they had bright lights in there you can see the damm hood has been repainted and now the back got some ghetto paint job on the rear hatch too. and fender is not much better.. so for a few mouths now it’s been parked cause of where moving to a new place out in the country as I said before.. so I’ve been busy helping to get that done (Building this place are self’s ughh, so I’ve not had any time.. So it remains parked in the mean time the parts are getting ready for the fix and repair Local Junkyard have became friends..
So far I’ve replaced and or have the stuff to do so..
