THE ULTIMATE WAGON FOR UNDER $20,000

At Wrench2Drive we are big wagon fans. There is something about an aggressive and sleek looking wagon that makes us want to drive the distance with a grin on our face. This Legacy GT is one of the best and most unique wagons we have put our hands on. We lust over C63 AMGs, RS6 Avants, M5 Tourings, but this brings that level of excitement at a much lower price point with increased reliability and rarity. This Legacy GT is one of a kind in many ways with its aggressive looks and twin turbo goodness.

The Big Boys of Wagons - C63 AMG, RS6 AVANT, M5 Touring

IMPORTED FROM JAPAN

This Legacy GT was freshly imported from Japan, inspected, and sorted mechanically and cosmetically. All our cars are for the enthusiast who values a great driving experience. This Legacy has, 78,142km (48,555 miles), original paint everywhere and an immaculate interior.

EXTERIOR

The exterior is in amazing condition, original paint on all body panels. Less than a handful of imperfections that are almost invisible to the naked eye. It looks good enough to enter a prestigious car show and be a strong contender for a trophy. This Legacy is equipped with a very OEM+ body kit that visually lowers the ride height while maintaining more than adequate clearance. The Rays wheels look age appropriate but give it an edge with its multi-spoke rally-esque design. Old halogens have been replaced with gorgeous angel eye xenon headlights that make it look more aggressive and mean. While we are not entirely sure which company developed the body kit, we believe it gives R33 GTR vibes. Let the photos speak for themselves!

INTERIOR

The interior of this Legacy GT is absolutely fantastic. The cloth seats are clean and free of stains or odors. The floor matts are OEM and in great condition adorned with the Legacy logo. Being the Impreza's bigger sibling, it is equipped with some extra bits of luxury. Wood trim on the doors, the driver seat has electronic controls, and the steering wheel a nice OEM perforated Momo. The pedals have been added for performance and looks, now the STI set with the pink logo. The radio is not factory and one of the speakers does generate some distortion, however, you won't want to listen to music with the fantastic rumble of the Twin Turbo 2 liter boxer engine. The cabin gets tons of light via the two sunroofs, of which the rear fully opens and the front tilts. it's a great experience for driver and passengers alike.

MECHANICAL

What an incredibly well kept Wagon. While it has been lightly modified, it is very tasteful and practical with the end result being very cohesive and overall fun to drive. The undercarriage is clean and the engine bay very organized. Oil service records on the driver's door and a turbo timer to prevent damage after hard drives or highway cruising. The 17" Rays wheels are equipped with a set of Bridgestone RE003 which provide great grip and plush ride quality. The Fujitsubo exhaust enhances the rich Subaru boxer rumble coming from an energetic sequential twin turbo EJ20H with 256hp. The driving experience adds up to more than the sum of its parts. It is just as good in town as it is in the twisty mountain roads.
