Black Sheep
From what I've learned so far is this very generation of Legacy's have been avoided by the majority of those interested in nosing and upgrading Subaru's. I plan to be one of the few, I like a good challenge. I started out in 2007 with a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS sedan, auto, and stock as ever! She and I travelled long distances, commuted to work and school, it got me through high school and almost through college. I put 130k miles on the Impreza, along with every bit of blood and sweat into herI bought her with 70k miles, and sold her with 200k miles for $3,800.
From there I purchased my current 2002 Subaru Legacy L wagon. I'm at the point in my life where I need more room. My girlfriend have a dog and I am running a mobile business called Equipped. Transporting parts in the Impreza was not easy one bit. A wagon or Forester was on my radar, but I am very happy with my Legacy so far.
I bought her with 144k miles for $3,400, completely stock with the head gaskets, timing belt, and water pump done. I was able to save a few parts off the Impreza. IE: 16x7" RS 5-spoke wheels, 02 WRX front seats, Scangauge2, Subaru all-weather mats, and my Yakima roof rack.
This is how I got her:
