Ambitious but rubbish!
Purchased a 1999 Subaru Liberty (a.k.a. Legacy) RX Bilstein Edition yesterday. It was advertised for $13990 and we ended up paying $13750. Got it at a wholesaler warehouse where they usually sell to dealerships so the price was bloody cheap!! One owner since new in completely stock condition (thank God) with 111,000kms on the clock, which is underaverage for a vehicle of this age + its a Subaru so it'll live forever. Full log books with recent service, its in brilliant condition for its age.
My first car - fuck I'm happy
Unfortunately, its not an estate with a manual like I wanted but this was sold at wholesale price with just one owner. Also, it was the Bilstein edition which was a limited build model which was built to say goodbye to the good ol' Gen 2 Liberty and so included the extra kit of Bilstein sport suspension, bigger 16" low profile tires with Bilstein wheels, Bilstein badging, leather seats and metallic paint.
Inside its got an awesome Momo steering wheel (which was standard back in the day), power windows/mirrors/aerial, climate/cruise control, CD/radio, cup/licence/sunglass holders, rear armrest with folding rear seats, woodgrain and really comfy leather seats. Pretty safe with dual airbags and ABS and obviously AWD.
Its looks pretty sexy too with the subtle yet sporty RX spec bodykit including rear spoiler and foglights. The Bilstein wheels look a tad aftermarket-ish but they suit the car.
The 2.5L boxer-4 sounds distinctively Subaru It had 115KW (154BHP) when new and after driving it last night I think its more than enough power for me.
I am still on my learners until my 17th B-day (Jan 31st) at which point I'll be able to drive by myself on my Provisional 1 licence. So for the next month, it'll be spending most of the time in the garage with me cleaning up its interior and making that engine bay look sweet so when I begin to properly use it, it'll be in fine condition and something to be proud of.
Since its in the garage, I haven't been able to take any exterior shots and + I'm going to wash it and take some nicer snaps on x-mas. Here are two photos from the original advert:
