1991 Subaru Legacy Turbo Sport Sedan For Sale

Found an all-wheel drive mid-size car offered for sale as a potential bone to restore. It's a flagship car of the Japanese automobile manufacturer Subaru, well-known as the Subaru Legacy comes from the first generation lineage realesed in 1991.

This 1991 Subaru Legacy Turbo Sport 4-door sedan with a rare factory 5-speed manual transmission, finished in pearl white over grey upholstery. The Legacy was listed by the owner on Craigslist for $7,500 in Milwaukie, Oregon.


Since late of the 80s, Subaru designed the Legacy as an all-new model, and positioned it above the Leone, XT, Justy, and kei cars in Subaru's model range at the time, to compete with its traditional competitors, such as Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Mazda 626, and Nissan Stanza in the lucrative North American mid-size market.


This an early Legacy Sport Sedan for US models offered in 1991 featuring a turbocharged EJ22T closed-deck block engine. Unique to the US market, it was SOHC, with different pistons, oil squirters, oil coolers only for the '91 model year, and other enhancements. Where the Subaru Legacy with automatic transmission sold much more at that time, making units with a more powerful 5-speed manual transmission rarest today. And this was the last turbocharged Subaru model sold in the US until the 2002 WRX debuted.


Not a good angle shoot can't represent all interior sides. The grey upholstery on the two bucket seats looks good, without tearing, it has a center console with a transmission shifter on it, the rest we leave it to you to see it closely about the actual conditions. Overall is a lot better without the rotted area shown. The angle of the shot doesn't show headliner and dashboard conditions, hopefully, no tear, no crack, and all instruments such as gauges, AC, and radio are still on it, which would be great to restore.


This one retains its original engine and, stored for a long time ago, and all of the parts are there. That would be perfect for value because rarety and big-name Subaru is one of the top Japanese brands. In early on the 90s, the Subaru Legacy has a lot of good reputation in the North American market and was declared the number-one-selling all-wheel drive car in the US and was the least expensive Sedan or Wagon offering both all-wheel drive and ABS.
