I am looking to sell my 95 Legacy LSi with 173,000 miles. Mechanically and aesthetically this car is in excellent shape and it was my daily driver up until a month ago when I bought a BMW 3 series. The first owner was a school teacher who sold it to my ex-wife in 2000 when the car came off of warranty (50,000 miles). We've had it since and I've done all the maintenance on the car since. Blue book on this car is over $3000 in good condition but I'm looking for $2000. It's located in sunny Tampa, FL.

So the good and the bad..
Good:
* Tires are less than a year old.
* Rims are from a 2005 Subaru WRX (18 months old)
* Front brakes, just replaced the rotors and pads.
* Rear brakes (rotor's/pads) are about a year old.
* Head unit is from an 06 WRX and is a 6 disk in dash changer.
* I installed a 120 watt sub under the passenger seat. It's the optional sub out of a new WRX.
* Rear speaker are 4way 6" Kenwoods
* Front speakers are stock.
* Battery is a 3 years old and is a gold die hard.
* I just replaced the tint on the front windows (all the window tint is in perfect condition without any scratches).
* Rear windows the tint is 2-3 years old.
* At 150K I replaced the water pump/gasket, thermostat, crank seals, struts, motor mounts, oil pump crank seal, resealed oil pump to the block, replaced valve cover gaskets, timing belt, tensioner, radiator hoses, accessory belts, plugs, ball joints, alignment, transmission pan gasket and filter, diff fluid, rad fluid, resealed the oil pan and replaced the front axles (~$1500 bucks in parts and all my own labor with the exception of the motor mounts and alignment).
* 2-3 months ago I drained filled the tranny, diff fluid, air filter and replaced the plugs.
* I just replaced the headlights with JDM projector headlights. they are crystal clear and much brighter than the stock units.
* Oil was changed ever 3K miles like clockwork.
* Annually I always replaced the plugs, transmission fluid, front/rear differentials, and air filter. Plug wires were always replaced every other year.
* Again this car has been extremely well maintained and should give whoever picks it up years of service without any issues. It has never broken down on me and I feel confident enough to jump in it tomorrow and drive cross country.
The bad:
* There is a dime/quarter size rust spot on both sides at the rear wheel wells right above where the rear bumper meets the body. Probably a couple/few hundred to get fixed if you wanted.
* The door bump panels are gray and need to be painted (I have a can of glacier white spray paint you can use to fix it).
* On the rear fold down seat there is a small leather strap on the top of the seat that you use to pull the seat down. It broke and I have a zip tie tied to the trigger. It is in-between the seat and the trim and no one can see it.
* The driver front outer cv boot needs to be replaced.
* The rear main seal has leaked a little bit of oil for a couple years now. Not enough to ever require more oil to be added. It does leak a bit but has never gotten worse and it isn't an issue otherwise I would have gotten it fixed.
That's it.. the car is mechanically in great shape.
