NOTE: Car is in Asheville, not Raleigh.

For Sale - 1996 Subaru Legacy L AWD, 2.2L engine, 121,000 miles. I purchased it in 2005 with roughly 80k miles.

$2,000 OBO

5 speed manual transmission
Power windows & door locks
Non-power seats
AF/FM/Stereo
Has cruise but it hasn't worked since I've owned the car. Maybe you can fix it?

The car runs pretty good, I recently replaced the spark plugs, wires and fuel filter. While I've had the car I've put 1 new set of tires on it and replaced both front CV axles (and joints). The previous owner had some work done (rear main seal, off the top of my head) - I can provide records of most of the maintenance/repair work done. Battery has been replaced recently too. Tires probably have 20,000 miles on them now, so they should have easily another 20k-30k miles left before needing to be replaced. Overall the Legacy is pretty mechanically sound. There is a small oil leak, but if you research Subarus that is pretty typical with these motors, and they'll last well over 200k with the same oil leak. I usually top off the oil with 1 quart between regular oil changes. Precision Tune on Biltmore Ave. verbally quoted me $250 to replace the gasket.

Where the car lacks is cosmetically. The paint had some chips on the roof when I bought it, which over time enlarged so I sanded all of the paint off the roof and painted it back with flat black Rustoleum. There are a few dings and dents here and there. If you wanted the car to look like new, you could easily do the cheap paint & body service at a Maaco or somewhere similar and get out the door for under $500 or so.

Blue Book value for "FAIR" condition is $2,440. I've dropped the price considering the paint & body condition (even though the FAIR value takes this into some consideration already) and for a quick sale. PM me with with any questions or for photos. Overall this car has been great to me for the last 4.5 years. I've taken it on four 700+ mile weekend trips in the last year and it has given me no problems. I am only selling b/c I just upgraded to a '05 Subaru. This car would be great for errands, for a student (perfect cheap first car) or for a daily driver. Gets about 23-25 mpg around town, and 28-32 on the highway.

KBB Fair Condition Description:
Some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition.
Clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional.
Tires may need to be replaced.
There may be some repairable rust damage.

Pics added in my gallery. Let me know if you want to see more, these are blackberry photos i took this morning.







as you can see, it's a wierd taupe/mauve/gray/purplish color. if i were to repaint it i'd just go back with a dark silver or gray. the cloth interior more or less matches the exterior.
