Re: 92 legacy engine w/ 99K mi
Don't worry about it. AN 8 year old engine with 99k is still low mileage for a
Subaru. I owned a '90 Leagcy and put 250k (in 9 years) on it before I just got
tried of driving it and had to have a new

Re: 92 legacy engine w/ 99K mi
Hi Gary,
I heard from a Subaru Specialist that in his opinion, the '92 was the sweetest year (FWIW). Also, just where are you ever going to find another 8 year old motor with less? Maybe 70K, but

Re: best match: automatic or standard ?
I have no experience with the auto.
Hobert tells how to modify the guv'nor so it revs higher between shifts. The Subaru will have more power and torque thru the entire rev range, so it's conceivable

Is the auto tranny the original Vanagon transmission or have you replaced it with a beefier one?

Re: 92 legacy engine w/ 99K mi
Option 1 - Keep looking but most cars six years or older will have that much
mileage.
Option 2 - Grab it, use it, then for a spare spend about $450 for a "Low

Hi Marshall,
"Aarons All Subaru" in Seattle (206-243-4665) has a '90 with 73K (today, 5/31). They call this a 'low miles" motor and are pretty proud of it. Maybe it's really clean? They bid $1500

Re: best match: automatic or standard ?
My van is a South African import to Australia (Microbus), and it has the
standard tranny in it . you may be surprised that it is a very strong box
considering the original engines power output.
