Great looking cars. Very luxury/euro look, imo.

Love that gen, was shopping really hard for one when my wife was looking for a new car (she insisted it be a wagon, what a woman!). She finally decided on a new outback, which was slightly disappointing (CVT bleh!), but damn those things are surprisingly good off road!

Yeah. That was gonna be my second car when I played off my STi, but that happened in Feb 2012 and then my plans changed. Lol. But I love that gen legacy when they still had sportiness to them.

Oh shit, there's one for sale for $14k. It's rear bumper is beat though. 86k miles. Unnnnggg. I love that wagon.

They only made manual wagons in 05 and the 5EAT is soooooooo bad!!!

I would buy a sedan for availability and value. Wagon is ideal but not a must.

I'd also think about getting one if those new Impreza XV (the lifted one) with 5-speed and lift it another 1.5-2 inches with bigger tires and tons of lights on the front.

Clipdat · 07-12-2013, 06:15 PM

hahah, I like this idea!

finch1750 · 07-12-2013, 06:37 PM

Yes. The XVs are hell a nice. But now I have to ask, am I the only one here who wants a Baja?

Clipdat · 07-12-2013, 06:39 PM

I sincerely hope so.

Yes, we liked the XV's too but the outbacks had more room, which was a plus since I was down sizing.

What I see every time I see one...

Gotta admit though, I think I like 'em. I've seen some guys with STI parts on 'em plus its got that wrx-amino look.

People that have Baja Turbos want a million dollars for them. I think you're better off with a turbo forester.

overlookedx · 07-12-2013, 08:03 PM

Damn you guys are getting me to look at Craigslist again and dream. Right before I bought the BRZ I was very close to picking up this super clean GC8 that was for sale on my street for a few weeks. Perfect price/condition for an Sti swap. Maybe someday...

finch1750 · 07-12-2013, 10:42 PM

^dont feel bad. Not until you have a mod list for a car you don't own.

<---- has list for an 05 fxt and bugeye wagon

Clipdat · 07-13-2013, 03:47 AM
