1999 Subaru Legacy GT · Turbo Repair Project

US$8,495 · asking price

2.0L EJ206 twin-turbo flat-four · AWD4-speed automatic104,000 miles · dealer-described verified mileage

A Japanese-market twin-turbo Legacy with WRX wheels and McIntosh audio offers plenty of personality for the money. This price comes with work: the dealer explicitly says the primary turbo needs repair or replacement, notes warped-feeling front rotors, and says the A/C lacks its belt and tensioner. Budget for diagnosis before treating it as a daily driver.
