    I'm honestly really thinking about it, Problem is that would put me pretty much broke.

    Also, it would be a more "local" truck, just because with a 440, no overdrive, and full time 4wd, It'd be lucky to get 7-8 MPG on the highway, And a 6 inch lift and some big tars wouldn't help.

    Though, a part time kit would get it closer to 10, which would be tolerable, and now I'm talking myself into it.



    It's worth mentioning that around here the older Chevy's bring stupid money that they don't in most other places, not entirely sure why, Dodges slightly less, and the Fords considerably less.

    Apparently Subaru never put the 3.0L EZ30 into the Legacy Wagon. If I want a wagon it will have to be a Legacy GT. The EZ30 doesn't have any common issues like the EJ255 does with it's turbo failure issues in the 05-06s. Also the more particular maintenance of older turbo engines.

    Focus/Fiesta ST are still on the table.

    Looks like this, Legacy GT/3.0R or Fiesta ST/Focus ST

    They're great cars. Mines the 2.5GT with a manual. My turbo has been replaced though (back when it was still my parents'). My Dad still thinks that the turbo was fine and the dealership was trying to get more money though.
    He still has it sitting on his workbench

    I want a damn wagon though. I think the lines are WAY better than the sedan. If they offered a 3.0R Wagon I'd be sold.

    I do like the tuning market of the GT to but, I would only do intake/muffler delete.

    Actually, it's the other way round. GM's Delta II, and Epsilon II platforms are both developed by Opel, which makes up a good deal of their vehicles.

    Post deleted by author.:( If it was a 98 with a 24v valve it must have been one of the special ones that still had the old style interior, those are fairly rare so at that price I'd guess there was probably something fishy going on.

    It's the other way around, all 98's had the newer interior, though the early 98's still had the 12V.

    Probably was a great deal, that's why it sold already.

    My car is dun broke. But it has a turbo so it's still better than all your cars.

    The previous owner hacked the coils and one came off while I was driving. I put it in the air to fix it, then I was busy like every day, and now it's all covered in like a foot+ of snow.
