I wouldnt.. The car has alot of miles for being only 5 yrs old and the seats look stained at least on my CPU they do.
Just drive your car like a normal car on the street and you wont get into trouble!! I am a 489rwhp Trans am that has no front plates, no inspection sticker, and is loud as hell. I have yet to get pulled over or a ticket for it and I take it out pretty much every weekend.

I love the look of those Legacy's alot.. buuuuuuut I will also advise to pass. I try my best not to be pulled over, I drive conservatively but still have my fun. I've only taken my Z over 100 once since i've owned it. Keep the car and drive for mpg now

Trade + cash only. Interior is rough and mileage is a little much. Most likely its a good amount of highway though. I don't mind subi's one bit and they do last, but they tend to develop their share of problems (like most cars) over the 100k mark. I think you could get something better.

if you're dead set on getting a different car, why not look into a Cruze or something?

My brother lost the engine in their Forrester and I've heard of quite a few Subaru's that do the same thing so I would never trust something with that kind of history and that mileage. I would keep looking for some other possible trade.

Subaru motors are very rough. They need to be maintained like nothing I've ever heard before. Some of my friends with them change oil every 1000 miles and some even get test kits for their oil. Don't expect to slap on performance parts either, everything you do to a ain't requires a new map. My friend has a stage 2 11' sti with and makes 290/330 awhp and had to upgrade the fuel system. These are not easy like our cars.

Subaru has great reliabilty. Just ask all the New Englanders who drive them. My buddy just got rid of an 01 legacy wagon with 280,000. Don't let the miles scare you. Just make sure you evaluate the cosmetic condition completely.

look at it in person, i'm not sure it is that bad or that it cannot be cleaned up
i got more tickets in my civic ex than I did in my trans am. just saying. that said, if you are serious get something slow that you have ZERO inclination to modify. Like a geo metro. Or you'll be right back to the same place.

It sounds like a bad decision to pick it up but if it were me I wouldnt want the deal unless i got $7000 in assets( a 5k car, 2k cash) minimum. Between 7-7500 is what I would pay for a car like yours in NJ if it was in decent condition.

Aggressive driving and speeding is a driving habit and personality trait regardless of the car. Just because you get a Subaru or a Hon-duh doesn't mean you're automatically going to do the speed limit...just sayin....

Agreed. Also, while I know next to nothing about Subies, I do know that's not one of the GTs (meaning no WRX go-fast motor), so he shouldn't be too inclined to mod. I don't really think the aftermarket is there for the NA cars.
