upso · 02-04-2009, 03:13 PM

hey everyone.. im new here and I would love some of your input on my first subaru purchase

Right now im looking at a 2005 Automatic 2.5 GT (blue) wagon
It's under 50k miles and they are asking 15k

Anything I should keep my eye out for? the condition of the vehicle is excellent inside and out, but im not super familiar with subarus

I suggest buying it. I'm happy with mine.

Mine is MT, but I've heard of no issues with the AT.

i would go with a manual, but if ur only option is automatic, then go for it. either way, the GT is sick!

Great choice. There are very minimal issues with the 05+ gen. Legacy.

5mt's are hard to find. They were only made the 05MY. 06 and 07 are all 5eat.

I guess I just came up then. I just got an 05 GT mt for under $12k. My 3rd subaru and this thing is better than my 06 wrx before I modded it. Its got seat warmers, I'm lovin it.
