i might be looking at a 91-94 gen legacy …

now my question is, how do you decipher between the turbo and NA model?

are they reliable? i am looking at autotrader with some that have over 200k+ miles on them.

thanks

I responsded to your PM about this.

If a car is 12-15 years old and has over 200k miles on it chances are it’s not the most reliable thing in the world. 😉 As far as cars that old go, two of my legacy turbos have 190-200k miles on them and they’re still reliable enough for me.

Well the differences between the non turbos and turbos that i have noticed is that if it is owned by mike it is turbo. If it is anywhere else, its not turbo.

i had a 88 subaru legacy gl wagon for a while.

Thing had 215k on it, and the motor woud not quit.

Non turbo motor, that thing is weird.

You open the hood, there is a fucking spare tire on top of the motor but you can’t find the motor.

Thing was dead reliable, the winter just rotted the body panels real bad.
