    Question about car buy and sell turn around

    Question: how much do you think a 1995 legacy L sedan auto with ~79,000 miles would go for in reasonable shape up North, no rust.

    I am down in florida at my dad's and saw this legacy for sale so I stopped and looked at it, relatively cheap asking price. Do anyone think it would be worth it to drive it north and sell it for a profit? I plan on going and taking it for a drive but we will see.

    I looked on ebay and with about 60,000 more miles simular legacys were going between 4K and 5K. If I can get this guy to come down on the price it might be a good investment.

    I don't think this is a good idea. Cars are never a good investment unless they're classics. Also there aren't too many people looking for 12 year old cars in this state. For 4-5k you can get a 2000+ (other make) with similar miles around here.
    The ohh shit effect, it's what makes a subaru a subaru.

    If it's ridiculously low price and you know you can profit go for it. But if you looking at $200-$300 profit I wouldn't bother.

    If you can buy it for sub$1000, and don't have to outlay anything major on repairs/maintenance...

    Most people won't pay $4000 for an out of state car with a sketchy maintenance history.

    At 75,000 miles the timing belt receipt should be FRESH.

    Not worth it IMHO.
