sandspider Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hi all As the title says, I'm looking for a standard Spec B 3.0 Legacy estate of 2005 / early 2006 registration so it's in the lower tax band (£285 odd per year, not £500 odd). Needs to be manual, and with a good service history - ideally big bits like clutch and exhaust done. Ideally in the South West, but may travel for the right car. Budget is maybe £4,000 - but could possibly go a bit higher for something that's worth it. I don't mind reasonably high mileage as long as it's been cared for. I'm looking in all the usual places (pistonheads, eBay, autotrader, here) but just wondering if anyone has one they're thinking of selling. I'm in no drastic hurry. Any cars or thoughts, please let me know? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxpl Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi I have a 2005 B spec tourer in black, low tax group. Due to a company car I don't use much now a days, It's a manual with all the extras , sat nav ,panaramic roof , FSH. One previous owner, I've owned her for 8 years and had exhaust, clutch and new discs. At 125k she still drives the same as when I got her at 42k. It does have some car park dents that I have had a quote for £500 to do, i was looking for £3000 ono but I do live in Essex a bit of a trek for you. If you are interested I can send some photos. MOT till November , brand new tow bar fitted but never used, even have a genuine Subaru locking roof bars, and a brand new Battery in January. Best car I've ever had, just don't want to see her sitting around. Regards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Why not post some photos anyway as it may attract additional interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi jax. Thanks. Tbh, that's more mileage than I was looking for, and as you say a bit far away. Still interested to see pics though. What's the service history like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicksxi Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 That's great. Thanks. I'm in Bristol so not that near but I visit London a fair bit so it's not a problem visiting you. Besides I already own a legacy so I know I love them. Just want a manual with more power. Plan to convert to lpg but have to investigate whether the known problem with valve recession can be eliminated with Flashlube fitted.

sandspider Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 What legacy do you have already Nick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicksxi Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 2004 mk4 sportwagon 2.5 se auto on lpg. It's great... But a bit tatty and sluggish with the lpg/auto combination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxpl Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Nick Just a few photos, Since the MOT was done in November it has only done 400 miles, Hence why it's up for sale. Please feel free to ask any questions, Regards Paul... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi Paul. Did it have the full major service at 120k miles? Spark plugs, coolant change, new brake fluid, transmission fluids etc. Also, when (time and mileage) was the most recent service done? Thank you.

Jaxpl Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I have the full service history with the car, the guy that does it is a BMW specialist and does everything to the book, I will check with him what was done, I'm sure it's the full one, but not sure. I mentioned that it was MOTd in November, it was actually December. Regards Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicksxi Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Looks great Paul. Thanks for posting the pics. And black is my favorite colour. I need to sell my Legacy, it's going up for sale any day. Then if yours is still around hopefully we can talk! Cheers. Nick Ps) anyone after a cheap mk4 2.5 auto se? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hi Paul, I'm not looking to jump in front of anyone but as the thread has been inactive for a while i wondered if you were still looking to sell your car? Thanks, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
