Pretty sure you should chat to @IR who I think is there now and just bought the vr4 above. Any old turbo subie will be thrashed but probably fine. Look for wobbly crank pulley, leaky oily left rear head and check for evidence of previous coolant leaks. Also clutches, gearboxes and drive shafts are kind of like fuses so stay away from any with big boost mods.

Moving to NZ in a month's time and looking to get an old (~150K km) Legacy...just 'cos it seems the be the right thing to have there and I've always fancied one. What should I look out for mechanically? Turbo or n/a best at that sort of age? Not too bothered about performance, just something to bung the bikes/kayaks on the roof and get around....
