2005 Subaru Legacy

2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5i - The Ultimate Engine Swap Project Title Options: * Option 1: 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5i AWD - Needs Engine - New Suspension, Brakes, Alt! * Option 2: Project Ready: 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5i - Excellent Condition, All New Wear Parts. Price: $1500 (OBO - Or Best Offer) Vehicle Description I am selling my well-maintained 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5i AWD sedan. The vehicle needs a replacement engine (EJ253), but is otherwise in excellent condition and has been upgraded with a long list of brand-new, expensive components. This is the perfect opportunity for a mechanic, Subaru enthusiast, or someone seeking a project car to get a great platform without the headache of fixing typical aged components. ✅ The Good News: Everything Else is New! The following parts have been recently replaced, meaning the only major item left for the new owner is the engine swap: Brakes Pads and Rotors (Front & Rear) — Less than 1,000 miles! Suspension: Complete New Front End: Inner and Outer Tie Rods, Lower Control Arms (with Ball Joints), Front CV Axle, and Sway Bar Links. Exhaust: New piping from the Catalytic Converter back (excludes mufflers). Engine Bay: New Alternator, Spark Plugs & Wires, and Valve Seals (the engine needs replacement, but these parts are ready for the new block). Exterior/Interior: New Headlights (crystal clear), Good Condition Tires (installed recently, cost $300), Interior is in great shape for the year, and Exterior paint is clean. ❌ The Bad News: Mechanical Condition * Engine: The original 2.5L engine needs to be replaced. The car is currently NOT running/driving. * Cost Estimate: A used JDM or low-mileage replacement engine typically runs between $1,000 and $1,800. Labor can vary significantly, but a competent buyer can perform this swap over a weekend. Why buy this Legacy? Don't spend money on a cheap running car only to immediately face $1,500+ in maintenance. This Legacy is solid from the firewall back, meaning your repair money goes only toward the engine, resulting in a reliable car for years to come. * Clear title in hand. * Ready to be towed away. Serious inquiries only. Price is slightly negotiable in person. Bring your trailer and leave with a great project car!
